Who here still loves and consistently plays Starsiege tribes?
I do. I even actually BAUGHT the game when it first came out, with it's fullcolor instructions and arts and backstory! but i enjoy the base servers, and there's usually only one or two nowadays. come sit, come talk! POST YOUR TRIBES AA!!! lol, yeah right.
I used to play a lot. I liked flying around in the vehicles, so it was dissapointing to see them rendered superfluous on most maps thanks to skiing. I always dreamed of flying a quad of heavies around and making dramatic deployments on enemy bases, or ferrying troops around. The only map I can remember where they were worth using was that big one with the big bases far apart, each with a hangar, side entrance and rooftop scanner/solar panel. Landing on the roof with a group and infiltrating the base was awesome.
I tried some demos of tribes 2 and tribes v, but i just didn't like them in comparison to tribes 1. i always felt like i was going way too slow.
I never really got into playing elite renagades mod, what was I missing?

Hilariously powerful mortars, sniper rifles with bullets, suicide bomb backpacks and wire-guided rockets. I think it may also have had deployable walls, floors and forcefields. The rockets were the best. You could set up a launcher behind a hill and fly them across to unsuspecting enemies. It would leave you blind and vulnerable though, since you switched to a first person view from the rocket to guide it. Mind you, I could be confusing this with one of the other popular mods.
