Introduction
With the cloaking pack enabled, I slowly crept into the enemy base (careful to avoid the motion sensors) and destroyed enemy's generators with my plasma rifle. A split second later, I could hear the magnificent sound of my teammates' Thundersword bombers leading an all-out assault on the front of a now-defenseless enemy fortress.
Distracted by repair requests and the sound of exploding bombs, the enemy team fails to notice I've just slipped by their interior turret defenses and grabbed their flag. I activate my jump jet and speed toward our home base under a blanket of covering fire. Score one for the good guys.
Such teamwork is a possibility--and often a requirement for repeated success--in Tribes 2, the eagerly anticipated title from Dynamix and Sierra Studios. With weapons ranging from a hyperaccurate laser rifle to the heat-seeking missile launcher and vehicles ranging from a single-seat hovercycle to the heavy bomber, players will find that they can specialize in a number of tasks yet be a very important part of assuring your team's victory.
