It’s a simple mechanic that takes only a bit of time to get the basic hang of, but then only a Tribes master can take full advantage of it. The hills on the maps are spaced specifically so that you can then land in the next downward slope and continue skiing, building up even more speed. When you reach the next hilltop, you right-click to turn on your jetpack, sending you careening into the air at great velocity. You’ll go faster and faster, easily building enough momentum to slide right up the upward slope of the next hill. Now that it’s a feature built into the series, it works like this: when you’re on a downward slope you hold down the spacebar to start skiing.
As we mentioned, when skiing was a glitch it allowed players to go faster than they were supposed to and created cumulative momentum. With skiing, however, it becomes an endlessly fun and useful mode of transport. This means you can do one big jump before you fall back to earth.

Instead of corridors or alleyways, the Tribes maps are mostly a series of rolling hills.Įverybody in Tribes has a jetpack with limited fuel. For those who don’t know what the heck Tribes even is, imagine a sci-fi shooter that looks a bit Halo-ish (but its aesthetic precedes Halo), but what sets it apart from most other shooters, other than the skiing and jumping, is the wide-open outdoor environments. The main difference is that it will be a free-to-play game where you can buy loadouts if you wish. So much so, that I didn’t see anything new that stood out, so really it feels like Tribes 2 HD, which will probably make Tribes veterans happy.
