Shootmania needs a ton of work, it's no where close to quake-type games.
I'm so sick of these noob reviewers acting like they know wtf is up.

Looks like the Dishonored port will be very well done. Has just about every option you could ask for and a custom PC UI.
I just got into the Shootmania beta, played it a bit tonight. The engine feels nice enough for instagib (which is the true test of a smooth/reactive engine IMO). I haven't played the other gametypes yet, but the engine is the most important thing for a competitive FPS. Maps/game modes/etc can all be added easily through modding. So far I like what I see. Still have 7 more days to check it out, though, we'll see.
I've been waiting for a really good skill-based FPS since UT2k4. Tribes Ascend is pretty nice, but I really prefer instagib, and Tribes has no modding.

I play Tribes Ascend quite a bit, that and the occasional quakelive (bit tired of playing quake maps for the last 15ish years tho...).
I always hope for the best with these new guys who claim to make a game for oldschool pure twitch, but rarely do they get it right.
This post pretty much sums up how I felt playing it:

The problem with trying to make a modern twitch shooter is that Quake and UT pretty much perfected the genre over a decade ago. If you're going to make something that won't immediately be flagged as a Quake or UT-clone, you need to do something new, like Tribes did.
ShootMania looks like it's set sail for fail. Blacklight: Retribution is a really good FPS, and it's free to play (but not pay to win).
I don't know how it can be played "competitively", but the game as is really rocks the joint right now.
