Yes. I'm gonna post here download link for PS2 game ISO. No looking at rules, mods, admin, just like that. No homebrew, retail PS2 game, i don't care.

via wikipedia:
Tribes Aerial Assault is a first-person shooter game with an emphasis on mobility. There are many game types in the single-player campaign and multi-player, including capture the flag (CTF), capture and hold, hunter, team deathmatch, and deathmatch. Campaign usually consists of some mixture of these game types.

I can imagine that at least one moderator now think WTF! :D But.. Don't worry, I learned today on pcsx2 discord, this is PS2 game that you can legally download. Developers released ISO as freeware in 2015. Such a nice game to get boost ps2 online project, doesn't it? While game was focused on online gameplay, there is single player campaign. So everyone can try it. Maybe some of you guys were aware about that, but for me is something new. :)

Nice move from Hi-Res Studio!

Interesting find. I wonder if Sony/SCE is ok with such a decision by the developers in terms of "Licensing" :)

Also Downloading right now to check which tools they used to create that .ISO-Image (I bet not one from the official SDK :P)

You're right. The more interesting is how they cleared the rights with the publisher (Sierra) and more importantly with the licensor (Sony Computer Entertainment).
 
I actually owned this back in the day and sold it as I didn't like it. Seems like a good way to revisit this now, thanks for dropping!
 
This is a really interesting find! Any known reason why they released the game as freeware - was it simply to purpose for future research or such from those part of the PS2 scene, seeing as in all hindsight it won't particularly impact any intellectual rights/sales compared to the likes of say, a new game being leaked before release?

I did take a look at the Wikipedia article and there's no real info other than the fact it was made freeware in 2015 and a single citation about this - other than that, pretty much nothing else to note.
 
For anyone interested. We have the aads working for this game again. Using the psrewired dns. We have a fairly active discord and I documented a lot of the old clans as well as tournament history on tribesaerialassault.com. It has a bunch of the old signature tags, avatars, etc. From the old forums.
