In the above picture, you can see the resulting explosion of a laser striking a rocket in ShootMania, the newest title we are covering here at IGN Pro League. Lasers being able to destroy rockets is one of many new features that the developers at Nadeo are starting to experiment with to raise the skill ceiling, decision making, and variety in normal ShootMania games. At the moment, lasers being able to destroy rockets is merely an option that anyone creating a server can toggle on or off. Experimental Elite ran with this new feature for a while, in addition to some slightly modified movement and wall jumps.
Shooting down rockets in a server with this feature enabled will of course save you from being struck and losing a point of armor, but also recharges your laser nearly instantly so that you can strike back at the person attacking you very quickly. This and other features being implemented will improve gameplay by creating more unique situations and separating the truly skilled players from your run of the mill casual fraggers. Keep an eye on the patch notes in the ShootMania beta to see when features like this are implemented.
