I suppose this would fall under the old phrase "good things happen to those who wait" and wait, and wait, and ... . Anyhow, it appears as if the promised relaunch of TRIBES 2 appears to be underway (if you missed it originally, you can read about it over at Blue's News) as can be seen with the newest patch that has just been made available. As with any major update, there's too many changes, additions, etc. to list here, just just click on the "Read More..." link below or head over and read Guy Welch's post on the Vivendi Universal Games Forums. For those who already own the game, the new patch will be a required update, users who haven't purchased the game yet will find that their retail version will have all the necessary updates included as of October 4th. While currently not available in the auto-updater, word has it that it should appear sometime tomorrow. If you can't get the patch from the FTP above, give it a try over at 3D Gamers.
