However, the chances for peace between The Tribes of Man are worse than ever. The Children of the Phoenix are preparing to hold the Seventh Firetruce as they continue to strive for peace and the unification of all tribes. The storyline opens in the middle of 3941, one year after the original Tribes. When traveling across each landscape gamers will not only have to deal with the enemy but weather and ground surfaces as well.Īlthough being a multiplayer game without any in-game story being followed, Tribes 2 does feature a background story involving each of the tribes. However, this time around many of the maps are larger in order to persuade players to work together more often and find more uses for the vehicles.

Each armor comes with a jetpack for increased mobility around each map. The three ground vehicles included are the Wildcat-Class Grav Cycle, BeoWulf Assault Vehicle, and Jericho-Class Mobile Point Base.Īlso very much like Starsiege: Tribes, Tribes 2 maps focus on outdoor battles. Another familiar feature will be the air vehicles while something new to all users will be the ground vehicles.

Most of the weapons will also be familiar as far as type but many have been modified providing a new result. Those who played the original game will find that the armor sets are the same here with a few slight differences. Tribes 2 features three armor sets - light, medium and heavy - as well as a variety of weapons. Players are expected to work as a team as they attack the enemy while also defending their own base. When going online players simply ping a list of servers and then join a game. Games are again aimed at multiplayer online play but there are now computer-controlled players (bots) that allow users to play offline. Set in the Starsiege universe, Tribes 2 features the same multiplayer team play found in the original with the following modes of play: Capture the Flag, Capture and Hold, Deathmatch, Rabbit, Siege, Bounty, and Flag Hunters.

Tribes 2 is the follow up to Starsiege: Tribes, a first-person shooter geared toward online-only play released at the end of 1998.
