I was on Teamspeak tonight and we were all playing Trackmania, and it was seriously fun. The best thing about it though is that it's 100% FREE!!! Here is some info from the Steam site about it:


About the Game:

A free game in the truest sense of the word, TrackMania Nations Forever lets you drive at mind-blowing speeds on fun and spectacular tracks in solo and multiplayer modes.

TrackMania Nations Forever offers a new "Forever" version of the Stadium environment, a solid solo mode and 65 brand new, progressively challenging tracks. TrackMania Nations Forever will unite an even larger number of players than the original Nations thanks to its engaging multiplayer modes, innovative online functions and revolutionary interactivity between players.

For TrackMania Nations Forever, Nadeo studio chose to take advantage of the PC's capacities as a gaming, creative and communications platform in order to allow a greater number of players to share a unique gaming experience:

Features:

* A completely free game.
* A captivating solo mode with 65 brand new tracks.
* Join millions of players online and compete on thousands of tracks on the TrackMania servers.
* One complete TrackMania environment: Stadium "Forever".
* An in-game editor to create your own tracks, video studio to realize your own movies and a paint shop to customize your vehicles.
* Official ladders for solo and multiplayer.
* Compatible with TrackMania United Forever (profile and multiplayer servers).

My opinion of it is,


YOU SUCK :P even oric and i beat you ^^ better luck next time

We should so get a server and replace the CoD4 or TF2 for just a server of that





DOWNLOAD IT NOW

Well...it was my first time playing all of the maps and Oric only beat me by 0.01s :D.

I will look into the server situation, although (as always) running a server on a dedicated machine would be much easier.

Damn my bad internet connection, I've started to download it, but goes really slowly. Sounds pretty cool, I like the idea of having a paint shop. Bit of a shame though how it's only f1 cars.

Where abouts have you looked in the program files?

If not you'll have to host a server and tick the box "Allow download" and get chalex to join it so the map is on his system.

Gratz on 1st post by the way.

Download Darkpidgeon's TrackMania map here (http://www.mediafire.com/?6gr9ykchydx).

I've played it and it's very hard, but amazing for a first map. I highly recomend you download it and try it out, all instructions are in the ReadMe file.

If you can go round the track without seeing 27, I'll be amazed.

This my my first track, I think it's pretty good.

Save it to "Documents/Trackmania/Tracks/Challenges/My Challenges/"

Download it HERE (http://www.mediafire.com/?mcgddgi53x0).

Darkpidgeon, I like your track, but in some places it doesn't flow very well, for example when you need to slow down before a jump to stop yourself flying over the track. It was also quite hard to know where to go sometimes.
