Games of this caliber should really only require a maximum of ten minutes to set up. I was happy to see so many options and games readily available. As a side note, it s important to remember to be nice to other players on the server. Using profanity and poor sportsmanship will get you kicked off the server and give you a bad reputation. Graphics Unfortunately, I was both pleased and disappointed with the graphics of Tribes 2 .
Players look a tad blocky and move clumsily.
Gunfire from the various rifles was clear and bright, as were the explosions of their ordnance. I personally experienced problems post-mortem where the screen would flicker as if it were trying to figure out which camera angle to display, but could never decide on one. The terrain was well-rendered, but some items, such as the edge of a body of water, would flicker and move intermittently. The audio portion of the game was well done, with battles sounds being well-emulated. As in real-life combat, some commands were communicated to the whole team via headset while others were shouted out, allowing only those within earshot to hear the command.
