    oh hell ya!

    Tribes was the first game that got me into Online-gaming. To this day no other game can emulate the amazing team-based capture the flag combat!

    I hope they include classic maps in Ascend such as Raindance, Scarabre, Rollercoaster, Stonehenge, broadside ... oh man!

    Sneaking in the side of the base, taking out the generator and capping that flag! Shazbot!

    Got the email for this game but I've never heard about it until now. Gameplay looks a LOT like Section 8. :p

    Section 8 did borrow quite a few features from the Tribes series, while blending in some unique features.
    I enjoyed both Section 8 on PS3 & Section 8: Prejudice on PC. :3
