Tribes2 sequel is a goldmine waiting for a place to happen

Hello Garage Games,
Now that ya'll have the rights and everything you need, as a part of the very loyal Tribes2 community, I have to make this plea to ya'll. We realize there have been attempts at Tribes2 sequels, which strayed away from what worked with the original Tribes2. They either had lousey skiing, or none, lousy jet pack action, or other weird crap that was not Tribes2. That is the only reason they didn't succeed, they were too different from Tribes2. Tribes2 succeeded because it was like Tribes, but different, better graphics, and a joy to play. Ya'll did amazing work.
The community made some very beautiful maps with Tribes2 that were not able to be added and were client side. They can help steer you in the new direction. Doors that open was a beautiful idea. Also Tribes2 needed an underground, or at least the ability to make tunnels, really big or small, so as to make routes under the war zone to attack from the back or sides by surprise. Basically Tribes2 needed a script to allow players to approve downloading the new elements of a map so they could play it. People will still need the jet packs pretty much working just like they did before. And skiing is a must. Newer looking grapphics to take advantage of the much faster processors and video cards would be a must. Dazzle us the way ya'll can.
Basically, you are sitting on a gold mine. You have millions of customers waiting to buy a product they have dreamed of for years, and which was tried to be made by RenWerX. Use your newest software. Hire them. Help them. Make it Tribes Best, the ultimate FPS. You won't be able to fill the shelves of stores fast enough. The news of you working on it would spread like a fire. Start leaking info, you will see. Please don't let us down. We love you. We love the game you gave us. Now make it better. Enough said. God bless you all.
I'll pay for my copy in advance if it will help. Tell me where to send the money.

Tribes 2 in T3D would be really cool. How about Earthsiege 1 and 2 while we are at it! ES1 and 2 were some of my favorite games when I was little, oh and Battledrome was what got me into the "big robots" scene.

@Paul - Just remember that every "Tribes 2" sequel that failed in your mind, was also a "Goldmine waiting to happen if we only do this" in someone else's. :)

Well, you gotta figure that with the hiring of Louis Castle and the moving of some % of the employees to Las Vegas, they gonna be making more games.....maybe...a lot more? You all may get your wish.

Only problem with IA is that then we wouldn't propably have any mods or custom maps so...
Anyway, it sounds cool but it won't propably going to happen
