NOTE: I no longer play Tribes 2 so this guide will no longer be updated. The reasons for me leaving are the same reasons fir almost everyone who was around in the beginning leaving. Simply put, Tribed 2 is no longer the same fun game I bought at release. The community is not the same, friendly group of people. I don't like the direction the game going, and
I no longer have fun playing.
If anyone would like to continue to update this guide, or use it as a basis for their own, please contact me at fadeawayx@rogers.com.
Thanks.

A Note to T2 Vets:
------------------
I have a favor to ask. Check this stuff over. If you see any mistakes, or anything I've missed, let me know. Also, if you have any tips or tricks, anything that would help a new player out, send them in and I'll add them.
You'll get full credit for anything you send in, and you'll be helping out the newbs learn from our mistakes. My vision for this guide is to ultimately be a compilation of our collective experience for the benefit of new players.
Thanks.
A Note to the Newbie:
---------------------
This guide is intended to help out all the Tribes 2 newbies. If you can't figure it out, if it's not in the manual, you can bet it'll be in here.
This guide assumes you have read the manual, played the single player tutorial missions, and have a basic understanding of the controls and mechanics of the game.
Tribes 2 is unlike any first person shooter you'll encounter. First and foremost, it's an mainly an online game. This means that you'll be playing with
REAL people. Understand that your actions will affect others while you're playing. This is why it's so important to have a good grasp on how the game works before entering into the community.
Second, there is a strong emphasis on teamplay and strategy in T2.
Understanding these concepts is essential to being a valuable member to a team or Tribe. Study the strategy and gameplay sections of this guide, and you'll have a good basic grasp on the game from which you can expand your skills.
Welcome to bootcamp, warrior.

Section 1 - Tools of the Trade
##################################
This section is mostly a rehash of information that is readily available in the manual and on the web site. In an effort to be thorough
I decided to include it. It's pretty encylopedic and boring, but it's good stuff to know.
This section, being so large, has just basic information and quick descriptions at the moment. I plan on including further information in the future.
T2 Vets: Please give this section a once over for me.. make sure I'm getting everything right. Thanks.
====================================================================
----------------------------------------------------------[1 - Armor
====================================================================
There are 3 different classes of armor that can be used. Scout,
Assault, and Juggernaut. Each has it's own advantages and disadvantages, and each is suited for it's own set of tasks.
--------[Scout Armor
The Scout class armor is the lightest and fastest armor available for use. If mobility and agility are your thing, then Scout armor is what you'll need. A Scout can be in, flatten an enemy, and be gone before the enemy knows what hit them. Scout armor is limited in that it may not use certain heavy weapons, cannot carry certain deployables, and may only carry 3 weapons at a time.
Durability: Low
Mobility: High
Weapon Capacity: 3
Ammunition Capacity: Low
Specialties: Laser Rifle, Grav Cycle, Cloaking Pack
Restricted: Fusion Mortar, Missile Launcher, Remote Inventory,
Landspike & Spider-Clamp Turrets, Turret Barrels
Pros:
+ Fastest and most agile
+ Only armor class that can use the Laser Rifle
+ Can pilot ALL vehicles
Cons:
- Can take the least damage of all armors
- Cannot use some heavy weapons
- Cannot carry certain deployables
--------[Assault Armor
The Assault class armor is the all around mix of the best of the
Scout and the Juggernaut. It can take more damage than the scout, isn't as slow as the Juggernaut, and has only minor limitations compared to the other two. On the flip side, the Assault is not nearly as fast as the Scout, and can't sustain as much damage as the Juggernaut.
Durability: Medium
Mobility: Medium
Weapon Capacity: 4
Ammunition Capacity: Medium
Specialties: None
Restricted: Fusion Mortar, Laser Rifle, Grav Cycle
Pros:
+ Can take more hits and carry more weapons than the Scout
+ Faster and more agile than the Juggernaut
+ Minor restrictions
Cons:
- Slower than the Scout
- Not as durable as the Juggernaut
- Suitable for almost all tasks, but excels at few
--------[Juggernaut Armor
The Juggernaut is the big boy. When it comes to raw firepower, the
Juggernaut is the only choice. A walking fortress, the Jug can flatten the opposition in a matter of seconds. Capable of carrying 5 weapons, including all heavy weapons, the Jug is a fearsome sight. It's main weakness is that it suffers a huge penalty in speed, making it easy pickins for a Scout or Assault class warrior.
Durability: High
Mobility: Low
Weapon Capacity: 5
Ammunition Capacity: High
Specialties: Fusion Mortar
Restricted: Laser Rifle, Cannot Pilot Vehicles
