Tribes?

I did a few searches and came up nill so I thought it might be safe to ask because I know a lot of people around here were really into tribes at one time or another.
I recently uncovered a copy of tribes 2 that I bought and played for exactly two days after it launched and immediately put away never to be seen again. Finding this game got me all hyped up to play tribes again. I did a little research on the net to see if people were actually still playing it, and they are. I also found out that they have released the first one as a free game download. So far every site that I have come across, the game is not there anymore, or if I actually get it and download it, it is already corrupted.
Does anyone know where a legit place is that has the game, and maybe even some of the basic scripts like skiing and what not?
Any help in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

You can get tribes 2 free here. Incase you want to make this a game on.

The second one is a free download, but CD keys for accounts were given out on a limited time basis and they've been gone for some time.
Why didn't anyone like that game? I don't get it. There's no good goddamn reason why all the multiplayer servers were empty after a week.
The grappling hook was the only thing I felt to be a worthwhile addition, and they even screwed up on the best part of that; it had limited ammo and you couldn't use it while having another weapon equipped.
The single-player was ok, though.
Edit: Er, but my hosting isn't allowing me to upload a 5 MB file right now for some reason. I'll figure something out later, if anyone's interested.
If you want a little more fun, google Tribes RPG mod as well. It's a bit of a learning curve, but it's excellent.
This is the primary reason I didn't buy it. The demo froze up on my computer, and I didn't want to buy a full version that wasn't going to get official patches.
Why!?
Flying underwater in Archipelago in T2 was fun
I loved T2...
Game on?
Panama Jack scripts FTW!
I preferred to park a shrike underwater, then drop a beacon under it (so I could find my way back). I'd fly up to the enemy flag, which was always VERY heavily defended, then just drop back down into the water. The water would prevent any missile locks, and anybody chasing me would then be bogged down as I sped away in my vehicle. Because there's no other way to get a shrike anywhere near the enemy base without it getting shot down by missiles, this worked very well, and because I wasn't doing any skiing, it left me free to choose whichever pack was most convenient (sensor jammer would probably be best).
If this is the map I think it is, I would frequently farm spike turrets in the water under the flag. Usually there would only be one flag attempt at a time, and you moved so slow under water that the turrets would get you before you could blow them up. Mines were usually a good addition to the outer perimeter of the spike turret patch. Funny thing; if a shrike went low overhead, all of the turrets would come to life and follow the shrike with their heads, making me think of flowers looking at the sun.

32 bit textures for the win.
Must get.
You got the flag your flying from the tower in rain dance and you have three chasers on you. Try hitting the jump button a million times while maintaining your composure and cap route.
The only thing really missing was punkbuster support, and that doesn't really matter since everyone that still plays is legit.
Personally T:V is my fav online team game, it's a real shame people just dismissed it.
Yeah, mashing doesn't really do it. Timing is everything - you can frickin' fly across Raindance if you know where to plant your jumps.
All the skiing script in Tribes 1 does is spam the jump button for you.
Yeah, thing was, some people like the new dynamic.

You can get just about anything you want there, and extras you don't even know exist. It's also where the best players are.
Because the game sucked. It was not tribes at all. Furthermore the Unreal Engine just blew goats ass for it. It's to long of an issue to point out every massive failure. But think about it this way. The tribes 1 crowd didn't get along with the tribes 2 crowd because they thought the game perverted tribes, yet both communities agreed that tribes V blew ass.
Tribes 1 is still active, and IMHO is the best of the series, you can still find servers with players.
Fanbases tend to be a superstitious, retarded lot.
I still have nightmares about the shitstorm that happened when it was revealed that Thief 3 wouldn't boot you out of the game, delete your save file, and then melt the CD if you killed a guard.

Mostly because of the grappler.
I played the motherfucking shit out of Tribes 2, though, and I made a lot of skins for it that a lot of people still use.
