Shootmania

[Alderego]

I know it's also still in Alpha, but there has been some sort of tournament going on the last couple of days. So I was wondering if anybody else was following it?

As far as I could gather it seems to be from the guys that gave us trackmania, but this time it's a twitch style, short round shooter kinda thing. Seems kinda fun.

Any other opinions/thoughts/ideas/...?

I like the balance of three players needing a shot each on D vs a single attacker with a railgun. makes for some interesting play.

I've been watching the tournament as well and I've been enjoying watching it but I do feel that I wouldn't enjoying playing it as much as watching it.

I actually watched every one of the videos from that tournament on TBs channel. I absolutely love the look of the game.


Initially skeptical of the game mode, after watching a few rounds, i love the idea of it, so rare for a new mode in a rather stale genre.
It also seems like a very raw/pure fps all round, I just love the fact there are two weapons, no mods, no upgrades. Its just raw skills, aim, positioning, movement ability, timing. I cannot wait especially with all the building possibilities. Seems like an old style FPS updated without all the crap/fluff of new games.
