The first Tribes game dates back to the 1990s, and is one of the original first person shooter games that inspired several others over the last few decades. Teamwork, tactics, high speed, and intense combat are supreme in this rebirth of the world’s fastest shooter.

Players ski, jetpack, battle, and race to capture the enemy team’s flag, all while ferociously defending their own. Players can choose from unique classes to customize their abilities, perks, and weapon loadouts, while moving across epic terrains from snow covered peaks to haunting deserts. Teamwork, tactics, high speed, and intense combat reign supreme in this rebirth of the world’s fastest shooter.

The core game mode for Tribes 3 is CTF (“capture the flag”), which can be played in a competitive or casual format. The competitive format features teams of 7 v. 7, while the more casual format has larger scale teams of 16 v. 16.

Additional game modes are available as well, like Time Trials, a Shooting Range, the Tutorial, and Custom Lobbies with adjustable team sizes, physics, and settings.
