Tribes: Ascend Officially Released

<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. Hi-Rez Studios has officially released Tribes: Ascend to add a new chapter to the already highly successful Tribes series. The game, initially in open beta for players to test, was officially released April 12th, 2012.

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 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.

Hi-Rez has not released the ability to host dedicated servers, but in an interview, expressed the high possibility to add dedicated servers in a future update. With this news, the Operation:X division is looking into picking up Tribes to add to their game lineup.</div>

I can't believe no one has linked one yet, but please, for your sake and someone else's, don't create an account unless you use someone's referral link! It will net you both an extra 5,000 XP when you get to rank 6. Also, liking Tribes on Facebook gets you 250 Gold.

USE THIS (or ask your buddy for his ID):
