tell me the similarities

There's an instagib weapon thats similar to the railgun and a projectile weapon thats similar to rocket launcher (no splash damage however). Movement seemed to be based on jumping and sliding out of jumps (might be wrong on this but I only had the stream to go on not having alpha access myself). The game mode I watched was 3v1 cp defense which puts the single attacker in situations that you might also encounter in a CTF game (outnumbered by defense who have to hold a single area). Both games are shooters that are tailored for competition (though from what I've seen Shootmania lacks the depth that Quake has, but it might be too early in the games lifespan to truly say anything meaningfull about this).]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=21727&post=390625 Tue, 19 Jun 2012 12:51:43 +0200 Reply by derippez https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-21727/page-4/?recent=390719#post=390594 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=21727&post=390594 Tue, 19 Jun 2012 05:08:01 +0200 Reply by Eledorian https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-21727/page-4/?recent=390719#post=390548 Quoted from IPZIE

you know they are pros in quake right, and this isnt quake, whats the point xD

Quake is about as close as you get to a holy grail for competitive fps games, especially if you look at the top players.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=21727&post=390548 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 23:41:28 +0200 Reply by atmo https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-21727/page-4/?recent=390719#post=390524 Mods can tweak all the game rules and the existing weapons but that’s all. You can not add weapons, change the player movement neither modify the environment also it won’t be possible to change the FOV (Field of view) the logo on the shield will be customizable though Shields are the new hats]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=21727&post=390524 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 21:38:45 +0200 Reply by Koeitje https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-21727/page-4/?recent=390719#post=390464 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=21727&post=390464 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 17:18:16 +0200 Reply by atmo https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-21727/page-4/?recent=390719#post=390456 Quoted from Shintaz

This seems to be the defence of all the ardent Shootmania fans as well, but it doesn't really hold water. I mean, TF2 is a great platform for dozens of unusual game types (surf, jump, bball, mge, soap dm, dodge ball, prophunt ...) but TF2 itself is already an amazing game which is what draws people to that platform and then it expands from there. Same with Quake III Arena to Defrag and CPMA blah blah blah. Shootmania doesn't seem to promise a good game from the outset, just lots of hype about flexibility and money throwing.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=21727&post=390456 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 17:11:37 +0200 Reply by Shintaz https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-21727/page-4/?recent=390719#post=390452 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=21727&post=390452 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 17:04:18 +0200 Reply by tizzel https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-21727/page-4/?recent=390719#post=390441 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=21727&post=390441 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 16:43:01 +0200 Reply by Flippy https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-21727/page-4/?recent=390719#post=390426 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=21727&post=390426 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 15:54:39 +0200 Reply by sidude7 https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-21727/page-3/?recent=390719#post=390400 Quoted from Shintaz

It was like saying "if you want it done, do it yourself", and I laughed. When they came to us, stefan and bash didn't say much. They asked "what do you like from your native game (TF2) that you'd like to see implemented in Shootmania?" I answered "the ability to bind to the mouse button". I knew I should've said 'hats', but it didn't cross my mind at the time.

yup the lack of hats makes that game bad.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=21727&post=390400 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 14:17:43 +0200 Reply by Shintaz https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-21727/page-3/?recent=390719#post=390390 Quoted from Swifty
