Tribes 2 was designed to encourage team play by facilitating the creation and administration of clans, and originally provided clan and player profiles, email, chat, league tables, tournaments, and message board functionality in the client. Support for these was dropped over time as the game declined in popularity, and changes in the support policies of the various intellectual property owners. Both Tribes and Tribes 2 were designed to be highly modifiable by players. A scripting language built into the Torque Game Engine, has allowed prospective "modders" to alter many aspects of gameplay; since the textures and 3D models can also be replaced, games that bear little resemblance to the Tribes titles can be created.

Famous quotes containing the word community:
“The poorest children in a community now find the beneficent kindergarten open to them from the age of two-and-a-half to six years. Too young heretofore to be eligible to any public school, they have acquired in their babyhood the vicious tendencies of their own depraved neighborhoods; and to their environment at that tender age had been due the loss of decency and self-respect that no after example of education has been able to restore to them.”
—Virginia Thrall Smith (1836–1903)
“Education is for improving the lives of others and for leaving your community and world better than you found it.”
—Marian Wright Edelman (20th century)
“I am convinced that our American society will become more and more vulgarized and that it will be fragmentized into contending economic, racial and religious pressure groups lacking in unity and common will, unless we can arrest the disintegration of the family and of community solidarity.”
—Agnes E. Meyer (1887–1970)
