A story on TribalWar.com recapping an unlinked post on their forums from Sierra's Alex Marweas Rodberg has vague word on plans for a continuation of Dynamix/Sierra's TRIBES online shooter series, saying: "I'm confident in the team we have assembled for this daunting task. I can't wait to introduce you to them so we can get fans involved in the process as early as possible. When? When we make the official announcement, sometime next year."
Meanwhile, they also link to another post from Marweas with a little poem (no really) about plans for the game:
When we make another Tribes game
(I'm still thinking of a good name)
Skiing will require skill -
No speed cap, and skiing uphill.
The graphics rock - worlds come alive -
But won't require a GeForce 5.
Lance, bomber, tank, I doubt they'll go
But they'll be better this time though.
We learned our lesson about forums -
They're the domain of those who whore 'em.
An open beta early on
Will help make sure the bugs are gone
So it's a given that we'll have one
And only launch when it is done.
Can't trust a weasel not to lie
But cross my fingers, hope to die
No more a question - may or might
The next Tribes game got a green light.

I just prefer the old-skool flava of the original tribes. I bought T2 the day it came out, and it was awesome for like.. a week. Then I really never played it again. I played the original Tribes Demo for like half a year..
