Tribes: Ascend Free to Play-Excellent fast paced multiplayer shooter

*Tribes: Ascend* is a free to play online multiplayer FPS. With a Sci-fi
setting, it adds jet-packs and skis to make a game which is incredibly fast
and a real buzz to play. Moving in Tribes: Ascend is the first thing you have
to get used to. In addition to normal FPS controls, holding Space will
activate skis, so you'll slide over terrain, where as the right mouse button
activates your jet pack. Using both together and the hills, you can move
around maps at incredible speed, and it's loads of fun. The result of this
speed means you'll be shooting at fast moving opponents, and sometimes the
feel approaches aerial combat! So, Tribes: Ascend is not your serious army
shooter, rather a fast paced arcade game relying on your fast reactions to
hit opponents. The two game modes are classic death match and capture the
flag. The latter is the most fun - the speed of Tribes: Ascend makes this
very different to normal FPS games. Players will swoop through enemy bases,
picking up the flag and disappearing in moments. As everyone can fly for a
time, finding a good spot to camp out and snipe from is a short lived
experience. *While Tribes: Ascend is certainly different, the tight gameplay
is reminiscent of *Quake *or *Counter-Strike*. It's addictive and fun from
the start, but learning the subtleties and tactics necessary to win takes
time.*Download *Tribes: Ascend Free to Play* in Softonic
