I played Tribes 1 back on a 56k connection.... horrible times, but the game was very cool, loved some of the mods.
and since you mentioned it, I even played Starsiege ( the mech one ) a while back as well. I fondly remember my thermal missile cybrid mech, but I cant remember the name of it now
I even liked tribes 2 which was fun with mods,

but Tribes Vengeance ... they tried to mix UT with tribes and it failed... miserably
Tribes is Tribes is Tribes !!! Not Unreal Tournament with jet packs.

I only liked the original Tribes. I tried the sequels but imo they never lived up to the game play of the original. As a matter-of-fact, as I look at my game stash Tribes 2 is on top of my Atari 2600
