So I got into T1 just as T2 came out and didn't play T1 all that much.  And I have also been away from my precious T2 classic mod for at least 5 years now so my memory is a bit hazy.  If I remember correctly:

T1 was fast paced with its original settings

T2 base and original settings was kinda slow and fans of T1 didn't like the original T2 and the base mod.

Fans of T1 did however enjoy T2 with the classic mod (which I too loved to death...)

Do I have this brief history right? and If so, what will we expect with the release of playtribes... will it be the fast paced T2 classic? 

Thanks for your help clarifying.  I am really looking forward to this release but also a bit worried that it won't be the fast paced T2 clssic mod that I really enjoyed.

PlayTribes is Tribes 1 with a few bug fixes and built-in scripts(in a nutshell).  Check the FAQ at the top of this forum, or the wiki.

T2 Classic was only slightly better then base T2. (still bad)

T2 was fine, in fact it was great, just like Tribes....it just took awhile to get it fixed.

It took tribes awhile too,  I remember getting Tribes the day it launched, still have my original cd, and manual.

Both are good games. Its subjective. T2 might have a bit of an edge these days only because the graphics arent as dated as T1 and T2 added a lot more use to assets and vehicles which would be a big draw to new players. T2 has a lot more gateway roles and things new people can do to enjoy the game as they grow and increase their skills. The argument about the soupy slowness of T2 base is valid, but with classic thats just not really the case anymore. Its a shame they didnt release T2 with classic physics. Anyway, T1 is still pretty damn awesome considering its a 12 year old game.
