< Tribes 2
Base is the original form of Tribes 2 as made by Dynamix. It is noted for having slower gameplay that emphasizes teamwork and mandates vehicle usage in most of the bigger maps. This is in sharp contrast to Tribes 1, which had been broken open by the discovery of skiing and had fast-paced gameplay as a result. Base mod is often criticized for this reason.
Base is the preferred mod of choice for people that play the Arena game type for a few reasons.
- The physics allow a player to control their position better in a duel than in other mods.
- Chaingun has more spread than in other mods.
- No mine-disc.
Base is also played by people who like large-scale games with an emphasis on vehicles, such as on the Elite Warriors online server.
