ShootMania Storm

"ShootMania: The player, for Player FPS" – so the official Page of the well-known Development Team Nadeo is titled.

Anyone expecting a gripping Story with plenty of sophisticated Characters will surely be very disappointed. This Game is purely about the sporting Competition in the Arena.

Distributed on the Cards there are Fiancings and Catapults, which are used to take higher Positions and thus secure the tactical Advantage over other Opponents. The Cyclone was particularly successful. As soon as you activate it in the Middle of the Map, the Playing field continuously shrinks down to a small Area. This Game mode clearly has the Advantage that eternal Camping and Shrouding are quickly prevented and a Round never lasts more than a few Minutes. This is also necessary, namely eliminated Players have to wait – as in "Counterstrike," for example in "Counterstrike"-to wait for the start of a new Round until they can fully intervene again in Combat. Until this happens, they can watch the Contest live across multiple Camera Perspectives. This is the Opportunity for Newcomers in particular To look at one or the other Trick in experienced veterans.
