It was this one and Battlefield 1942-- they both hit just as broadband internet was slowly making its way into our homes, and the resulting scope of online play let loose a resounding "Shazbot!" to the heavens
Seeing that there's not even a single review for this game makes me sad. I bet there's several hundred for Tribes 2 or Ascend, both of which are direly inferior games. Tribes was in many ways too pure for this world, a game of modest tech and huge ambition strung together in a way that no one had seen before and dropped in front of an uncaring public. This was Battlefield before Battlefield, except with Quake movement and everyone being airplanes and people at the same time. You can't begin to understand what you've missed.
