Yes. In fact, HiRez Studios, the makers of this game, acquired the rights to Tribes and they're making a new "MMO" based on this. I put that in quotes because they also called this an "MMO", but it is more of an instance-based game (think Guild Wars?)
If you want to know, PvP gameplay is similar to TF2 (team-based objective maps with control points, push-the-carts, attack/defend, arenas, etc). There's also group-based PVE instances, and a newly-introduced (though somewhat lacking, imo) open persistent world, which has quests and everything intended to get you past the low levels (there's no real high-level open world content yet, and frankly, most gameplay takes place in PVP/PVE instances anyways). Lastly, there's guild-vs-guild wars that are based on a giant territory map discretized into hexes (though I mostly play solo, so I never really played any guild-vs-guild gamemodes). I don't think you really notice grind that much: level cap is 50, but past 30, you aren't given any more skill points to allocate (skill points can be freely reset at any time so you can experiment with different builds and loadouts).
Anyways, the game is 30% off right now, but if you buy the game from their website (NOT steam), you can apply one of the coupon codes to stack another 30% off, for a total of
51% off the game right now. You can still play on Steam by downloading the demo client, which is exactly the same thing (since demo limitations are account-based). Demo caps you at Level 12, and is free.

(I cant believe this is one of their official banners.)
