This really is the best recent shooter. I recommend you guys try it out, I doubt you'll regret it!
What is Tribes: Ascend?
Tribes: Ascend is a Free to Play Sci-Fi First Person Shooter made by the people who brought you Global Agenda. At its core it is an incredibly fast-paced capture-the-flag game, (although there are Arena, Team Deathmatch, and Capture & Hold gametypes) with vehicles, projectile weapons, and most importantly: jetpacks. It's a game where most of the fighting takes place mid-air, "twitch" shooting is virtually non-existent, and movement speed / positioning is just as important as aiming ability. There are many parallels that can be drawn between it and UT2k3 as well as the Halo franchise, but it is honestly a completely unique game and the parallels that can be drawn to other games are quite superficial.

[12:44] <FCB1> +Pemalite: N8G. You so sexy. I wanna touch and stroke your luscious beautifull hair like it was my own and hear you purr.
Played this (and Global Agenda too) since early alpha. Well worth playing. (also, having Hi-Rez Studios a few miles from me means I get to do in-house testing so much fun)

I still won't be playing this game since the whole jetpack/non-hitscan weapon affair doesn't quite appeal to me. Until Tribes was resurrected in this fashion Section 8 and Section 8 Prejudice semi-filled this spot and while they were very polished and balanced and interesting games from a multiplayer perspective sometimes the whole thing doesn't "flow" with my taste. :-P
