After premiering on FilePlanet a few weeks ago, the free release of Tribes has been let out into the wild. Anyone that wants to get their hands on a cool, completely free game which they can play online should download it. GameArena have a local server up, so jump online and give it a bash.

Does this need a fileplanet generated CDkey like tribesII? Because fileplanet dont seem to give them out anymore :(

Nope. No CD key required.

Now all we need is for them to release the source code.

Change the graphics/input engine, tweak the netcode a bit... all good :D

oh, I didn't know that

warning: above statement may be deeply sarcastic

Yeah, I got it a couple of months ago for my son, but hell, if you dont know about it, its still news.

I meant to put a post up about it back then but forgot, I'm getting old you know.


ET

No need to revive old threads, trog just posts threads that should be old =P

bit slow this bunch...
its been out free for a while now..


That was how i got my copy!

If VilePlanet's your thing, then sure.

Yea, to hell with calling it "free" when you can call it "registration required".

I got it free on the cover of a magazine back in 2001... :S

what about Tribes 2? i already have tribes (bought it on launch day) but i would like Tribes 2, but without a CD key, there's not much point.

im with iinet so i can get it off them for free, but they don't have cd keys, only fileplanet does and they dont have them n e more :(

I think that Starseige: Tribes was released for free download at the time of Tribes 2's initial launch.

Unless this is actually Tribes 2 they've released for free, I am not really impressed.

Tribes 1 is the s***, it rocks your socks on a regular basis.

Thank you Trog.

yeah Tribes 2 have been released for free download on Fileplanet (and iinet...and im sure many other sources, but if i downloaded it off iinet, i still had to get the cd key off FilePlanet) but my question is how do i get a serial key.

bit slow this bunch...
its been out free for a while now..

I award you the "Most clueless f***** of the year" award.

im having troubles getting it to work one thing i cant update it and 2 i cant search for servers its says my net connection is f***ed what to do

Don't auto-update it - update it using the included patch.

thx man shes all good

I can see the gamearena server in tribes but it seems 'down' in COGS.
:(

just join anyway, still works.

the patch is included in the free tribes pack
