Did you really have to take that as a topic title?

it made you click this topic
so ...
score

the environment looks similar, but I think the game is really different.. as SM is closer to Quake style, this looks closer to COD style.

i guess this and shootmania will be in the style like Halo...

I played this game while it was still in the closed beta and I can say that it is really hard. The move speed is insanely high and the main weapon is a slow-moving projectile, the spinfuser. I hope SM is not like this game at all.

I read some things about SM that make it pretty unique imo. Just some facts here I remember at the moment:

- there's only ONE weapon (the laserweapon you already saw in the screenshots).
- you don't have hit points or a screen that turns red when you get hit and you die when you get too much damage at once and stuff like that. players have a shield, the first hit removes the shield, the second hit kills.
- there are 17 different gamemodes at the beginning, but I think players have also the possibility to create new gamemodes.
- there are no different classes like in tribes: ascend I guess

Read this stuff somewhere in a preview, I will post the link when I find it again.

edit: just remembered, the stuff with just one weapon isn't completely right, you can build some kind of platforms in your map, when players reach them they gain the weapon that belongs to that field. also please don't blame me, if some of this information isn't completely right, just remembered it from reading it somewhere.

edit: found the preview, all this information must be somewhere in here:

Actually there will be multiple weapons in SM Storm, but they are block dependent. That means you'll automatically change weapons depending on what block type you're on.

I honestly don't like this idea
