Tribes: Ascend now free to play (I highly endorse this game)

[Janube]

Hey everyone!

Just wanted to let you know, lest you've been living under a rock, that Tribes: Ascend was released free to play earlier this past week.

You can download it and register here
(Edited for base download link as opposed to referral download link) [This is what I get for forgetting rules after a few years' absence]

Here's the official gameplay teaser trailer, though I don't think it does it justice.


Right now, there are three free starting classes, the Pathfinder, Soldier, and Juggernaut, but you can earn several others through a little in-game play or a little money.
Nothing in the game can only be purchased with real-world moneys, so it's not pay2win, thankfully.

Additionally, if you're interested in signing up, allow me to help you get started!
You can go to The tribes facebook page in order to get 250 free gold (enough for almost any class).

And finally, if you hurry, there are 477 keys left for a weapon giveaway for the Soldier over at the OnRPG forums.
Get 'em while you can!

If you want my opinion of the game- it's like I went back to Halo 2 (despite original Tribes coming out way before Halo, I'd never heard of it), and they added jetpacks, removed friction, and upped the ante on speed 10 times. It's wild and massive fun. Haven't downloaded it yet? What are you waiting for?!

Get on the game and have a blast!

I've played this game, and its quite fun. You guys should at least try it out.

EDIT: Although I hope they put in hack detection. I went into a solo match and was able to do ALOT of things.

This game looks amazing.
