On Wednesday, Nov 20, Sierra will release the latest version of the update for Tribes 2. This version will be required, so everyone playing Tribes 2 will finally be on the same version. A number of issues are addressed in the update, including the server lag for some machines. A full description of what's addressed can be found in the readme. For those who plan on mirroring the patch, it is being uploaded to the TW RDB.
Tribes things to look for before the end of the year:
- Full blown competition for Classic and TR2
- Tribes 2 re-review in next issue of CGW.
- Tribes Aerial Assault (PS2) TV ads will be running on Sci-Fi and MTV Dec 2 - Dec 29. Some of Colosus' work for the music video wound up making it into the ad, so he'll (sorta) be on TV.
- Future plans for Tribes are moving along. We don't have any announcements planned until next year, but work continues, and I've seen some really cool concepts on my desk.
- Tribes 2 retail re-release should be in stores by Thanksgiving. At $10, mabe a good gift for those you'd like to bring back to Tribes 2.
- More prizes to winners of various events. There's a backlog of people who still haven't received prizes, and we'd like to work through it and make sure nobody who won something leaves empty-handed.
Thanks for all the good wishes for my family, and sorry I haven't been around as much lately. If anyone needs to reach me, I'm still
