Tribes: Vengeance (sometimes called T:V, Tribes 3) is a sci-fi first-person shooter (FPS) computer game of the Tribes video game series. It was developed by Irrational Games and released by Sierra Entertainment (part of Vivendi Universal) in October 2004. It was built from a heavily altered version of the Unreal engine. Unlike the other Tribes games, in addition to its multiplayer network maps, Vengeance includes a complete single-player campaign.
On March 23, 2005 it was announced (http://community.vugames.com/WebX?14@127.jC4heWVek0C.8981107@.1dd97873) that Vivendi Universal games were ceasing all support for the game, beginning with the termination of the 1.1 version update. This disappointed many members of the Tribes community who had been anticipating the release.
Armor
Three armor types are available, and can be accessed at an inventory station. Heavier armors supply larger amounts of armor, energy, and ammunition as well as more weapons and equipment at the cost of mobility.
- Light - Fast and light with very little protection. Only class able to use the laser rifle, a high powered sniper rifle capable of dealing heavy damage.
- Medium - In between the light and heavy. The most versatile armor. Only class able to use the buckler, an energy shield used to deflect projectiles.
- Heavy - Bulky, slow, and tough to destroy. Only class able to use the mortar, a powerful explosives weapon.
