Decide what you want to play,or create it and share it with the ManiaPlanet gaming network. For fun or competition, Storm will be out soon to bring you thrilling games!

I think this looks intrusting, never seen a game like this, may try the beta and learn more about this game.

So interestingly enough now that GRO CB is done, I suddenly got a CB invite for this game from Ubisoft today . Just opening into CB1 now. I will have to download and let you know my opinions soon.

Did you have to sign up before the 2nd to be in the closed beta?

I don't know, I signed up the day they talked about it at E3, which is when it was in Alpha phase. If interested I would sign up and see.

I don't see where you can sign up, help?

FAQ = http://blog.maniaplanet.com/blog/2012/07/06/a-faq-about-the-beta/


Hello everyone,

Yesterday we have sent out the first wave of invitations for the ShootMania Storm Beta. Of course some of you have several questions about the Beta so we made a FAQ about it:

I registered for the Beta on the official site but didn’t receive my key. Why have other people received their key?

That’s normal, we sent the invites chronologically from the time players registered for the Beta. Several waves of invitations will be sent through the coming days/weeks.

Apparently I received a key valid for only 7 days. Does this mean the beta last 7 days and that the game will release after? Am I able to extend this period?

The key that you’ve received is valid for 7 days from the day you use it, you have until 31th July to use it or it will be deactivated. The Beta will last more than 7 days but we wish that every player registered to the Beta have the opportunity to test ShootMania Storm.

A way to extend your beta period will be announced soon.

The key has an expiration date?

You can use your key until the 31th July.

Where can I download ShootMania Storm?

A unique download link will be sent to you by GamesPlanet, use the promotional code given to you by email on the website:

http://maniaplanet.gamesplanet.com/shop/shootmania-storm-beta-pass/

I can’t buy the game/beta access on the GamesPlanet shop.

It’s not possible to buy ShootMania Storm yet. The price is only here for informative purposes.

My Alpha login doesn’t work with the Beta!

For the Alpha we used a masterserver different from the one use for the regular ManiaPlanet players (playing on TrackMania² Canyon). With the launch of the Beta we have decided to bring the TrackMania and ShootMania players together and to use the regular masterserver.

If you don’t have a ManiaPlanet account, please create a new one to be able to play (which will be used for all the ManiaPlanet titles).

I don’t have access to the ShootMania Storm or the Titles Pack Joust & Elite!

If you have a TrackMania² Canyon account, you only need to add the key through the Player Page: http://player.maniaplanet.com (“Account” -> “Player keys”). You’ll have the possibility to load ShootMania Storm in one of your stations at the next launch of ManiaPlanet.

Once you’ve download ShootMania Storm, if the Joust & Elite titles are not present in the titles list, you only need to restart ManiaPlanet to make them appear. Then you can load Joust or/and Elite in a station.

What are the official game modes in ShootMania Storm?

Actually there are 7 officials modes developed by Nadeo for ShootMania Storm:

Melee : Free for All, the player has a certain amount of hit to do to win the map

Royal : A survival Free for All, where the aim is to be the last man standing at the end of the round. It’s possible to activate a sphere which will shrink the playing field via a pole which is generally located at the center of the map.

Battle : It’s a team-based pole capture mode. The goal is to capture the poles of the opponent team or to have the highest capture rate at the end of the timer to win a round.
BattleWaves : Variant of the Battle mode. From the moment where a player starts to capture a pole, a timer of 15 seconds begins for the offender team. The poles can be captured during the time. At the contrary, if the team in defense succed to push back the offender during the 15 seconds they can capture the pole of the opponent team.

Time Attack : The goal is to arrive to a pole located somewhere in the map by passing all the checkpoints as quickly as possible. The player with the best time at the end of the time period wins the map.

Elite : a 3 vs 3 mode. On the field there is an offender equipped with a laser gun (can eliminate an opponent in one hit) with 3 armor points, must survive 45 seconds against 3 defenders equipped with rocket launchers (one armor damage per rocket). Once the time expires, he has 15 seconds to capture the pole or eliminate the 3 defenders (he can also do it the 45 first seconds) to win the round.

Joust : 1 v 1 mode. Players have limited ammunitions. They have to touch one of the poles present in the map to reload their weapons. To win a round, a player must hit his opponent a certain amount of time.

Yet several game modes have already be created by the community!

How can I create a dedicated server for ShootMania Storm (or TrackMania² Canyon) ?

Everything is explained on this page. The files of the dedicated server are located in this forum.

You’re now prepared to join us and have fun!

Feel free to talk about it on the forums

I WANT IT!

Update, I played and recorded 14mins of this game. I would relate it to a poor version of Tribes Ascend, which I started playing the other day. Don't get me wrong the game is very fun, and super fast paced, but your shots do nowhere near the reticule when firing and well since it is in the early stages of beta you will find a good number of guys have already start using cheats. Of course the cheats will be worked out as Ubisoft has done a good job on that in other games.

I will post the video up when I render it, but must keep it private as the NDA is still restricted ATM.

unreal tornemnt style

Sake gave me the code last night so here's a question for Dan, how long did it take to download?

5 mins to download, about 10 to install it is not a big file at all.

they gave me another code today!.... any takers?

ill take it
