No doubt about it. It has always been fun and so easy to create wild crazy tracks for the original Trackmania. You select your module, drop it where you want it and continue to the next piece. Simple and easy.
Now Nadeo is bringing the same easy to the FPS scene with the second game for the maniaplanet set up. Now you can create the FPs map you have always dreamed about with just some few click of your mouse.
But there is more.
It has been rumored that there would only be 1 weapon in Shootmania Storm, the rocket launcher. However Nadeo's eSport producer 'TaZzMAjazZ' confirmed to me that there also will be a railgun for those precision shoots. In my conversations he even revealed that certain maps will only have rocket launchers. Since there is no release date announced yet - who knows... maybe even more weapons will appear in the game - or maybe not.... I guess this is TBC!
Below is the official Fact sheet for Shootmania Storm.
Game Description Shootmania Storm is a brand new multiplayer
First-person Shooter. Fast-paced online
combats are taking place in a rich fantasy
