I know we've all played, but I enjoyed this trip down memory lane. The overview of current Tribes-like games at the end is pretty cool.

Katabatic is my home.

Tribes 2 also had an exceptionally robust keybind based voice system. Given it was the infancy of broadband, and the people who had acceptable voice setups were relatively rare it was quite nice.

The voice binds were amazing.

Absolutely loved this game! Was so bad it. I could stealth into the enemy base no issue, couldn't kill anyone. Sometimes I'd just see how long I could stay in without being noticed.

Also, does anyone else remember playing on a server called Fishbowl in T1 or T2? I kinda remember playing on one. I thought the admin was called sometime like Fishstick. I'm wondering if it was this dude's server.
