If you watched and paid attention, it said free to play

Maybe Rofl cant read...

It's true to the original. I was a Tribes junkie in high school, and while it pushes every nostalgia button in my tender brain, I worry I don't have the neural chops anymore. Although skiing is a button you hold down now. I'm in the Beta, if anyone else has it let me know. It'd be more fun playing with clan people.

I'm in the beta! I just haven't found the motivation to play it yet lol. If anyone wants an invite to the beta, I think I have a couple of extra beta keys somewhere.

So what's this supposed to be about? Halo for the pc on steroids?

This is the anti Halo. Interestingly, early Halo tech demos were remarkably similar to Tribes, before Bungie got bought by the Xbox people and their game was gutted. Tribes is a PC phenomenon and the attempt to take it to console killed the vibe. Before halo and before BF1942 there was Tribes, doing large scale team FPS better than anyone. Bases, deployable equipment, command consoles, and vehicles... that quickly become useless when players discovered how to "Ski"- sort of like bunny hopping, using momentum from the jetpacks to hit the terrain and the exact angle and... well, ski. Meanwhile you had to lead your shots, making the kills super satisfying.
