I couldnt think of a better forum to put this, i think it's ok here. I'm not really asking what has been removed, more... why? Like for instance, what's the reason of removing jet packs that can be disabled?

I'm not the best source of information from this, but I believe it was part of the conditions in the contract giving GarageGames that rights to the engine.

Basically, I believe it said that all Tribes 2 specific code or something similar, had to be removed. This would be skiing, jet packs, etc. Of course, there are a large amount of community resources that basically replace these, possibly even being better than the original implementation.

I repeat, this is not something I know for certain, but I believe this was something said before.
