Final* Tribes 2 public server evening

The Starwolf language has no words for goodbye. Isn’t that beautiful?

These are the final 7 hours of the PlayT2 Discord server, as seen from the perspective of DemoBot-Mia.

To all the players – most of you are featured in this video – you’ve kept Tribes 2 alive. Without players, Tribes 2 is just memories. I hope Tribes 2 has another decade in it.

ChocoTaco hosted the best Tribes 2 server, created many maps, tweaked gameplay and persevered for six and a half years (2,374~ days) despite Tribes 2’s unique, ah, gamers.
DarkTiger created and updated numerous modifications, including the TorqueScript side of statistics. My favourites will always be the April Fools cactus deployable and your machinima videos.
BattleLore created stats.playt2.com and it’s infrastructure (with Exogen’s & DT’s help).
Behind the scenes, I think Krash contributed improvements.

Thank you for all you have done, everyone. We have all appreciated it in our own ways.

Sadly, I didn’t improve the spectator camera, so the CTF matches are a little repetitive. If you happened to record any demo files from your perspective, please send me a copy. I’m __loop__ on Discord.

The spectator cam follows the last flag carrier or the flag. During LakRabbit, this is fun to watch. During CTF, it’s boring – you don’t see generators being destroyed, deployables being placed or entities being repaired. You mostly see the skiing skills of whoever last grabbed the flag. I’m often sleeping during CTF hours, so I didn’t fix the camera in time… my bad.

This was streamed in 1080p, but I encoded a 1440p version so YouTube would preserve the quality. Sorry for the compression artifacts, I didn’t think to record it locally.
