Your fondest memory of T2?
I remember playing T2 way back when it first came out. The online was more incredible than anything I had ever seen. I thought it was amazing how it had clan managers, forums, chatrooms, and email all built in. Sadly they removed lots of that shortly after launch, and the rest of it seems to be gone with TN.
As for gameplay, my fondest memories are of being a tailgunner with a competent bomber crew. Throwing flares, shooting down chasing shrikes (blowing up a shrike with a missile lock while thousands of feet above the ground is so satisfying), and repairing the bomber. Good times.

I have many to be honest.
My favorite was a 20 v 20 battle in BONES Mod. Nothing more epic then 40 fighters shooting eachother, teammates and enemies dying left and right, missiles and plasma bolts flying by my fighter every second, placing an enemy gunship in my reticule and blasting it away as I'm being shot from 3 different directions, dodging missiles, buildings and mountains. Oh man... Too epic to explain... I miss those days.
I could mention the start of my piloting where a group of pilots and myself tried dang near everything and came up with most of the moves that became the basis of all flying vehicles from there on. Much fun was had with the shrike and bomber there and it was all new and fresh at that time.
I could talk about my time in aerial dogfight making buddies in there and just generally kicking everyones butt. There are certainly enough stories from aerial dogfight.
I could take about the amazing times I had with dws in base competition...We had some solid stuff going and amazing plays. Just some really amazing coordination and gameplay there.
Bah the list goes on and on...I played tribes for too many dang years and now I'm playing it again...oh noes.

In Tribes 2, Renegades was still my favorite. O-sniping and picking off enemies one by one, either using a rail gun or a rail turret. Also, sneaking up on enemy snipers with the interceptor and blasting them with dual missiles was also fun.
RevMod2 also stored good memories for me. Blasting people with the shotgun was so fun.
Even playing base was fun, too. I remember a few times when I'd run over the enemy flag carrier by accident on foggy maps and laugh so hard after doing so. The long walks back to base after being shot down/crashing and repairing teammates on the way also made for some interesting adventures.
Nope I'm the orginal Wildcard Don't be fooled by imposters.
Quoted for truth. I used to be scary good at sniping. I could just sit in one area and drop people like flies over and over, no matter how they were trying to evade me. I tried it today and missed almost everyone who wasn't standing still.
Also, is anyone else having trouble with mouse sensitivity? The default setting is far too twitchy. I don't remember having any trouble back in the day but I just can't find a mouse setting that feels right.
You should have written it brother. In generations passed, there were great struggles. What do we have today? To quote the great Tyler Derden: "Our great war is a spiritual one, our great depression is our lives." If you would have written it from a sociological perspective, it would have been a tome of knowledge for our generation with parallels to our being tamed by a passive aggressive oppressor known as civility, and Tribes as being a way to unleash the chained and hidden warlord within us all. In these days our wrath has been extinguished, probably for the better, but a bitter regret for the lack thereof remains.
My most fond Tribes 2 memory was my first Tribes 2 online experience. I would have been in 2000 or 2001 when I was still attending college. I logged on to my first pickup game on a very populated server, I think it was Houston Vehicles or 5 Assed Monkey. I didn't do anything great, like stop a capper or rape a gen room or even get a kill. I had just gotten my loadout and I looked up, 2 Gunships and some shrikes flew overhead and this left a lasting impression on me as to the grandeur of what was happening around me. It was conflict, and coordination. It was the individual and the interaction of individuals to draw together into one. It was all happening at once, and It was quite simply, a feeling of awe.
Good times indeed.
Not my fondest but something we can all remember!
Then there was the time I watched a noob turn over a heavy transport full of fully armed juggernauts ten feet from the base.
I'd have to say most of my fondest memories came from all my then and current friends/clan members in Ninjamod. Still friends with a lot of them since 2001. Greatest forum flamers and shit talkers I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. ;D
It was different when we all had nothing better to do than spend five hours a day playing a video game. Now I'd be lucky if I could play it for thirty minutes.

I remember when clan's had practices for 2 hours. Afterwards most would join a pub and play for alot more.
One of my fondest moments (That I can remember) was in a match in base. I was shriking on dessicator and was going to try and stop the enemy flag carrier. Well out of the dust I come almost straight down for him, well I hit him and 4 other people, returned the flag mid air, and Somehow caught their flag that a teammate had just dropped when he died. I had almost disced myself to hurry back to the base when my teammates in RogerWilco were asking me if I needed help.
Speaking of which...
LOL... You MONSTER! XD
Ma mortars are neeto too.
Tribes 2: Killing 3 people while doing a loop in a shrike on Katabatic. I crashed into the ground after that because I was too busy laughing my ass off.
