TRIBES 3: Rivals is a team-based first person shooter that elevates the genre with jetpacks, skiing, and class-based warfare. 

‍Players ski, jetpack, battle, and race to capture the enemy team’s flag, all while ferociously defending their own. Players can choose from unique classes to customize their abilities, perks, and weapon loadouts, while moving across epic terrains from snow covered peaks to haunting deserts. Teamwork, tactics, high speed, and intense combat reign supreme in this rebirth of the world’s fastest shooter.

The first TRIBES game dates back to the 1990s, and is one of the original first person shooter games that inspired several others over the last few decades. TRIBES games are known for their fast paced movement through jetpacking and skiing, and capture the flag gameplay.

Dynamic Movement: Jetpack flight and skiing allow unparalleled freedom and fluidity in movement across the battlefield.

‍Capture the Flag: The core of the game lies in its intense team based capture-the-flag mode, demanding individual skill along with strategic team play.

‍Stunning Environments: Navigate beautiful and complex maps from arid deserts to icy mountains, each designed to offer a different gameplay experience.

‍Loadout Customization: Tailor your character with a wide array of weapons, skins, perks, and abilities, offering endless ways to compete and strategize.

‍Class Based Gameplay: Light, medium, and heavy classes allow you to play your way. Light classes excel in speed, medium classes offer mobility and firepower, and heavy classes bring formidable armor and weapons to the fray.

‍Custom Matches and Modes:  Users can create custom matches that offer different team sizes, physics, maps, and more. 

‍Community Focused Development: The game is crafted with input from the TRIBES community, ensuring an experience that honors the series' legacy while introducing fresh elements to keep gameplay exciting and engaging.

The core game mode for TRIBES 3 is CTF (“capture the flag”), which can be played in a competitive or casual format. The competitive format features teams of 7 v. 7, while the more casual format has larger scale teams of 16 v. 16.
