Spreading the good news today, Hi-Rez Studios has announced that the closed beta test for their upcoming free-to-play shooter, Tribes: Ascend, will be going live on Friday, November 4th. Word is the beta will include a total of twelve classes, three drivable vehicles and two game modes. They also note that there will be no character wipes during the beta, so all your character progress will carry over in to the Open Beta and the official release. If you haven't already signed up, you can do so right here.
