Given how ridiculously slick TM2 was I'm extremely interested in Nadeo's upcoming stable of products. Given how creative the maps are in TM2, this could be a real treat.

The video for this game reminds me of UT99's instagib mode which was ridiculously fun on the more open maps as the instagib gun wasn't instant... the laser was a projectile which, while still fast, you could see it coming. So on a map like Facing Worlds with 8v8, you'd maneuver around a barrage of lasers until you're face to face with your opponents and the one with the faster trigger finger would get to progress a bit closer to the enemy's flag. Games these days don't have this feel anymore so I'm hoping Shootmania brings it back in style.

It's cool. I think the beta registration opened since late last month. Who went to see this game in action at E3?
