Q: I read preview of the game and stumbled across something about security authentication pertaining to usernames and that only one person can use a username. Is this true or false?

A: Yep... to minimize the issues surrounding team-killing and smurfing, we are giving gamers one username. There may be up to 5 aliases per username.

Q: Will I be able to choose a Bio-Derm Skin and play with a bunch of Blood Eagles or will I be stuck with the skin of the default teams playing on the server?

A: Yes, you can choose the Bio-derm skin and play with a bunch of Blood Eagles.

Q: Will there be leaders for each side in a Tribes 2 battle that can issue orders?

A: You will be able to choose what role you want to play in the game, so if you choose to be the leader, then you can take on that role... but roles are not assigned.

Q: How can someone recruit another player in their clan? Do they just ask and you have to except? Can they just enter your clan without your permission?

A: You can easily recruit another player into your clan within the game by sending out an invitation, which they will have to accept. They cannot enter your clan without permission.

Q: Will people be allowed to register their nicknames before the release date?

A: Once the game is purchased, then you can register your nickname. Not before, only after.

Q: Can we hope of seeing the demo in a month?

A: Yes.

Q: Will you be able to ramp off hills on vehicles?

A: Depending on the vehicle, and depending on the speed, you will be able to ramp off hills and get some massive airtime!
