Regarding FPS, I have been only playing Quake on and off for the last 5 years, which had a pretty nice community, but so far, it seems that every time I play Shootmania, I see people insulting each other.
The game is only in alpha, and for most games I have played pre-release, the community was always much better during alpha/beta stages compared to release, so I can't even imagine what it could be like for Shootmania, maybe some new monster worst than Counter-Strike and Call Of Duty combined ?
I don't know what Nadeo can do about it, I really have no idea, but if it stays like that, there is no way I'll be playing this...

Well i'm not sure what they will do about the community. For myself, i didnt have much truble, but i mostly play with friends, and we have our own server ( it's not hard to set up), so no community issue :p
But lets go to the main point : BETA IS ABOUT TO START
Here is how it works :
- Register for the beta at http://www.shootmania.com/en BEFORE JULY 2nd
- You will receive a 7 day pass to test the game
- If you like the game, you'll be able to buy it in advance, and keep playing after you 7 day pass has expired ( The cost should be around the same that Trackmania)
