The multiplayer battle experience is back, even with a brand new singleplayer campaign! Based on Unreal engine, Tribes: Vengeance lets you jetpack, ski, pilot in order to win most savage battles - on the earth, or in the air. Many new weapons and vechicles are included in this version of Tribes. The multiplayer lets fight up to 32 players, or if you don't have internet - you can always start an interesting single-player campaign based on a complicated story!
Multi-player demo (4 maps).

If you have an internet connection (e.g. DSL, ADSL or Cable modem) and have
installed a “personal firewall” on your computer such as Black Ice, Zone Alarm,
Norton Internet Security, etc., you may experience problems joining one of the
multiple games found on the Tribes servers.
To avoid problems with joining and hosting Tribes Vengeance multiplayer game
sessions make sure that the ports below are open for UDP/TCP two-way traffic on
your firewall. Some personal firewall applications do this setup automatically,
depending on how your firewall is configured. Please refer to your firewall
instruction manual for information on how to do this.
The following UDP ports need to be opened:
6500
7777
7778

7. Customer Service/Technical Support. Unless otherwise stated in the Program's
packaging or in the Program's user manual, nothing herein shall be construed so
as to place a duty upon Sierra or its licensees to provide Customer Service or
Technical Support for this demonstration version product.
8. Duration of the “On-Line” Component of the Program. This Program contains an
“on-line” component that allows you to utilize the Product over the Internet
utilizing servers and software maintained by Sierra and or its affiliates.
Sierra may, in its sole discretion, provide the servers and software technology
necessary to utilize the “on-line” component of the Program, or Sierra may
license to third parties the right to provide the servers and software
technology necessary to utilize the “on-line” component of the Program.
However, nothing contained herein shall be construed so as to place an
obligation upon Sierra to provide the servers and software technology necessary
to utilize the “on-line” component beyond the time that the Program is Out of
Publication. The term “Out of Publication” as used herein shall mean that the
Program is no longer being manufactured, or supported, by Sierra.

of any kind, either express or implied, including, without limitation, the
implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or
non-infringement. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of
implied warranties or liability for incidental damages, so the above
limitations may not apply to you.
10. Limitation of Liability. NEITHER Sierra NOR ITS PARENT, SUBSIDIARIES OR
AFFILIATES OR LICENSEES SHALL BE LIABLE IN ANY WAY FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE OF ANY
KIND RESULTING FROM THE USE OF THE PROGRAM, THE EDITOR OR AN AUTHORIZED ON-LINE

INFORMATION STORED ON AN AUTHORIZED ON-LINE GAME NETWORK. Sierra NOR ITS
PARENT, SUBSIDIARIES OR AFFILIATES OR LICENSEES SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR
ANY INTERRUPTIONS OF SERVICE, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ISP DISRUPTIONS,
SOFTWARE OR HARDWARE FAILURES, OR ANY OTHER EVENT WHICH MAY RESULT IN A LOSS OF
DATA OR DISRUPTION OF SERVICE. Some states do not allow the exclusion or
limitation of incidental or consequential damages, or allow limitations on how
long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitations may not apply.
11. Equitable Remedies. You hereby agree that Sierra would be irreparably
damaged if the terms of this License Agreement were not specifically enforced,
and therefore you agree that Sierra shall be entitled, without bond, other
security, or proof of damages, to appropriate equitable remedies with respect
to breaches of this License Agreement, in addition to such other remedies as
Sierra may otherwise have available to it under applicable laws. In the event
any litigation is brought by either party in connection with this License
Agreement, the prevailing party in such litigation shall be entitled to recover
from the other party all the costs, attorneys’ fees and other expenses incurred
by such prevailing party in the litigation.

you from making or authorizing the making of another copy or adaptation of the

(1) such new copy or adaptation is created as an essential step in your
utilization of the Program in accordance with the terms of this License
Agreement and for NO OTHER PURPOSE; or
(2) such new copy or adaptation is for archival purposes ONLY and all archival
copies are destroyed in the event of your Transfer of the Program, the
Termination of this Agreement or other circumstances under which your continued
use of the Program ceases to be rightful.

and executed in the State of California, and any dispute arising hereunder

with respect to the dispute between the parties. This License Agreement may be
amended, altered or modified only by an instrument in writing, specifying such
amendment, alteration or modification, executed by both parties. In the event
that any provision of this License Agreement shall be held by a court or other
tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, such provision will be
enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and the remaining portions of this
License Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. This License Agreement
constitutes and contains the entire agreement between the parties with respect
to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any prior oral or written
agreements.
