Quite possibly my favourite game growing up (especially Tribes 2!)

In fact, I downloaded Tribes 2 a while back and was playing against bots just a few months ago.

The game is dated but it was still fun... in fact, I've often thought of trying to remake it in Unity or something!

Maybe one day.

I never liked tribes 2 being a tribes 1 addict. The jet sliding in 1 was a happy accident and the developers lost the original physics code that resulted in the sliding being a controllable skill. Tribes 2 had an utterly different movement sensation and a “press button to glide” mechanic that just killed the game for me.
