Tribes 2, is it out?

[NOX]

Is it? I hear part one rocks, I have never played it, and was wondring what some of you thought about the game. Also, what API does it support better, someone told me Glide? Will poart two support glide as its primary API too.

I have heard that it only just recently went into alpha testing, so it will be a while longer before it comes out.

Part 1 rocks.
Part 1 is in Glide.
Part 2 will most likely rock.
Part 2 will be in Open GL.
While there are pick up matches on public servers, I prefer to play more formal matches in OGL competition. These are scheduled team matches of 10 on 10 on a closed server. 3 maps are picked a head of time, with the 3rd only played in the event of a tie. Teams in the top 50 ALL use some form of voice communication, like TeamSound or RogerWilco. They also have weekly practices, and highly co-ordinated strategies. You can Download a playable demo version which will let you play on cetain demo servers, but be sure to also grab a demo of an OGL match so you can watch how more formal games are played. You can find OGL demos at Tribalwar.com.
