<div style="width: 550px; text-align: center" align="center">Have you ever Ascended into something greater than your average FPS?

Many of you know what this article is about. Recently Hi-Rez Studios decided to add a new chapter to the already highly successful Tribes series with a game called Tribes: Ascend.

This new game brings a whole new meaning to skiing. Literally. Tribes: Ascend is a fast-paced first person shooter which combines hi-tech weaponry with traditional landscapes and of course the game modes of old: Capture the flag, Team Deathmatch, and a personal favorite from Tribes 2, Rabbit.

Tribes Ascend is the sequel to Tribes 2, which was made back in the 90's. Tribes 2 featured graphics that were considered top-notch for its time and provided fun for hundreds of thousands of players.

Check out the game here at: http://www.tribesascend.com

This game is in closed-beta and will require a beta key, however many eGO admins and players have been providing members with access to keys in the past few weeks. Just ask fellow players if they currently have an extra.

Tribes: Ascend will be free-to-play and will officially launch in 2012. We'll see you there and as always.. Shazbot!</div>

I would strongly suggest getting in on the beta, it's a very fun game especially when you're playing with friends.

YES!!! Finally a news thread about this game. Been playing Beta since it first came out. This is an AWESOME game!

P.S. It has jetpacks. And you can ski!

are we gonna support this???

that depends if we get enough people going. granted they will eventually have private servers available as it's still in closed beta, we'll just have to wait and see.

if anyone needs a key, contact me and i'll give you one, granted you may need to teach me how to find one that i have

Seems like an awesome game, I usually dont try out new FPS but I think I should give this one a shot.

*downloading* excited

[PureBlood]

Just finished dling it and I played TDM for the first 10 minute.

My opinion: Frickin amazingg!! Awesome game, fast paced, good graphics (IMO), very fun. You can also ski and use jetpacks, and it seems like a halo fast paced action.

And yes, I know that this game came out before halo.
