Not me, sorry...too buggy, performance isn't up to par and Software, Etc. has a no-return policy on online games like Tribes 2. I won't buy it until the bugs are all patched out (which they aren't) and it's in the bargain bin.
haha, The damn thing won't even run on my computer thanks to Sierra's new copy protection scheme, something to do with the CD drive (heard it affects Nascar 4 too). I'm not the only one with this problem...

No, they didn't fix the bugs, and mem leaks are still in there. Two friends, one with a 1.x GHz Athlon system with GeForce 2 Ultra card and 256 or 384 MB RAM, along with plenty of space left on his nice, fast RAID HD array...performance is extremely slow, even with options bumped to near minimum in the game...that is, when it doesn't lock or crash. Another friend, with a P3-450 system, 128 megs RAM, GeForce 256 card, nice large HD with plenty of space free...same results.
Tribes 2 is still buggy as hell, still looks to have plenty of mem leaks and looks to be in the bargain bin soon, at least at the local Software, Etc. (according to the store manager). It's a shame, since it had so much potential.

I don't consider it denying myself, since there's a no-return policy on 'net games like Tribes 2, with the local Software, Etc. and Electronics Boutique. I'm not about to saddle myself with a $35 (cut down from $50 just last week) piece of software I can't run with sufficient frame rates with the graphics and sound options at good-looking settings. I was really looking forward to it, though...too bad.

I have a PIII 1GHz, 384MB RAM, and a GeForce 2 GTS.
Tribes 2 plays like a dream for me (50-100 FPS). I love it.
As for a return policy, Sierra has a money back guarantee that covers their software, even if the stores don't.
