That was really unexpected 😆 Happy that u liked the map, that really helps out mappers keep mapping.
For the start line, yeaaah i was kinda sad when i saw Sake drifting before first grass for a better setup/speed but thats a lesson for the future 😎
Don't think the neo saved much though, akul was pretty close w/o it
@@man_imbored171 yeah the noslide might not be that fast either, ive had better starts than mine and im equal on 2nd cp soooo yeah hard to tell
What about making a bed?
@@djabski7306 What he is talking about with pro players complaining about taking risky lines, that is all self inflicted by the player. Obviously you are going to push a map beyond normal limits to get division 1 or WR. Yes you can check for alternative shortcuts/routes to adjust, but a player being able to take different lines is not necessarily a bad thing. In my opinion it makes a track even better when speedrunning it has different lines and small optimizations over a basic gold medal run. High skill celling is what makes a lot of tracks legendary.
@@Quade12Xyou have a point, but they are mostly talking about when a map has 1 ultra risky section that can seem random. its not fun to be able to play an entire track quickly and throw it all away every attempt because 1 section is too hard. that is often factored in with people's opinions of the map, even though it's not what the mapper intended
He cannot help himself with the analogies, mapping is like writing a song, cooking a lasagne, and building a sand castle
but it is.
im boutta start writing a lasagne, cooking a sand castle and building a song
It wouldnt be like driving a track to get a world record otherwise.
This video just seems like he came up with a lot of analogies one day and decided to use them all
@@WirtualTV someone should make you a level made out of lasagna and sandcastles with musical elements.
10:39 this is why we need green timer, editor too slick with it
That was such a slick transition holy how did you even notice that
Good catch!
goddamn right
23:14 as well
Something about the car just stuck out. Never even noticed it was an edit at first and thought I was going crazy lol. Crazy good edit.
wow i cant believe my map made it into your video!!! (map 2) thank you so much for playing it, giving advice and showcasing it to the world! I cant wait to build more...
Unfortunately, I cannot allow you to hold world record on my map, so I respectably took it back :D
That's crazy impressive for a first track, how much time do you have in the game and how long did it take you to build it?
@@Chizypuff thanks! I have around 600 hours in game and it took me around 10 hours to build the map. Half was spent working on the route and the other half was spent placing a million rock assets for scenery lol. I haven’t gotten the itch to work on another track yet but I hope I do soon
"I think 'not bad' is not necessarily a nice compliment"
Germany wants to talk to you XD
it's our highest praise
The quiet game audio kind of threw me off the entire time I won't lie lol.
On a side note I love these off stream productions. Different type of quality and I love it.
ive never played with game audio haha cause i listen to music when playing, so i didnt notice it lol
@@MariJu1ce it's weird listen to him talking about gears and not be able to hear them
Just saw Buckley's tweet about Wirt forgetting to record game audio, but they recreated it for a run 😂
Blueberry!
Got interested because of your vids on trackmania record history, and got really interested seeing you and the community having so much fun with it on this channel.
Still super rough at the game atm but getting better! You talking through why you drive / play in certain ways like you did in this video has helped a lot!
I am loving the new content direction, not necessarily the fact that it's off stream but casual hunting, playing fun things and especially highlighting other community events. 10/10
10:40, that transition was almost seamless, very impressed
I didn't even notice until you pointed it out. And even then, I had to watch it several times before I saw the timer skip a minute.
Blueberry 😂

"Blueberry"
Honestly picked up the game cuz of you, and been lovin' it so far.
Kinda becoming an on and off addiction now XD
Blueberry - i actually started playing just 3 days ago! I've been your viewer for quite some time now, probably about 3 years. This channel is also how I discovered Trackmania! Love it and i'll hopefully Upgrade to Club version soon!
Blueberry.
I’ve been a viewer of the channel for a long time, and my first day playing Trackmania was the second day of this current ongoing campaign as of April 22nd, 2024.
I have 4 more author medals to go! Lol but I did take a break from this campaign and went to try out other campaigns to get a good idea of other mapping styles.
I think ice slides and drifts are the two things I need to work on the most. I find myself constantly misjudging when to start and stop them or when to hold accelerate during a drift and whatnot.
You should almost always be holding accelerate during drifts. You only release if you have a really bad angle and need to adjust it to survive.
yooo, we just started 3 days apart, i started on the last day of the campaign that came before this one, it was funny cause i played like 30 minutes of the campaign trying to understand the game and then stoped for the day and then when i came back next day it was a totally diferent campaign and i was really confused
@@Tilt_TM
Yeah I still just don’t comprehend.
It’s hard to explain, but there are some things I need a combination of multiple learning styles to understand. Like I can visually watch somebody on Bobsleigh and I’m set. Don’t need anything else but a watch.
Drifting? No matter how many times I watch people drift, I feel like I can’t fully comprehend it.
I’m sure I’ll get it eventually!
I’ve been practicing on whatever green map has two drifts into the big grass section into the uphill finish, and I’ve been getting those drifts a lot better. The “nearly” full speed red map with the drifts and the ending wood section is still kicking my ass drift-wise.
Long time viewer, first time blueberry here. Started with a free account in the Autumn 2023 campaign and finally bought a membership this campaign. Your videos have taught me a lot about thinking about your lines and how the physics can work. Thanks, Wirtual.
Blueberry here! (Which is quite funny, that's also what we call new players in Destiny 2, the game I play the most). I have about 30 hours in Trackmania so far, spent almost entirely in the Royal game mode with 2 friends of mine. My biggest gripe with the game so far is all these little tricks that SEEM like bugs to a new player like me. Bug slides, speed slides, whatever the heck a quantum slide is that you said on that cup-of-the-day-like map lol. When going straight with full traction is slower than turning and sliding, that's just strange to me. Feels like to get faster, I now have to look up what tricks are used and where they're put, then look up how the heck to even do said tricks.
I was waiting for either him or someone else to make the destiny connection 🤣
I'm 38 y/o and have watched vicariously through friends and TH-cam channels what Trackmania is. I'm excited to actually give it a try after I get through some of my other games I've never played on Steam. Wirtuals content makes me want to dive in even more so. I will be fully immersing myself very soon in this great game.
"A chaotic assortment of sand grains"
- Wirtual, 2024
Blueberry! Literally picked the game up last night, I've seen a fair share of your content for the last couple weeks and I've know you as the "Trackmania documentary guy" for a few years now 🤣
I'm having a blast playing and trying the things I know are possible to do with the car without any advices, not a single AT so far.
I've been really enjoying the not-streamed content!
They both have their benefits, with the streamed vids getting highlights of hilarious chat interactions (if not for that we wouldn't have gotten the pyramid videos) but these have the advantage of Wirtual getting to grind things he enjoys, but which twitch chat might get bored of, so we get more satisfying results.
It'd be really cool to see these kinds of videos keep getting made, occasionally, once Wirtual starts streaming again.
Blueberry, just found your channel a month ago and started playing TrackMania again. I played very casually almost 20 years ago when I got the game as a promo with the purchase of a graphics card including some old school “3d glasses”. If you remember the once with a red eye and a green or blue one. Pushing 40 years of age and just picking up this wonderful game again. Thanks for the content.
Similar for me, started following Wirtual a few weeks ago, now working on getting gold medals for the spring season
Blueberry.
I won’t lie, I’ve been watching this channel for a little over a year and I probably watched everything from old videos from TMNF records and the TM 2020 content. I love it and I only downloaded the game last year, and it’s a lot of fun. Thank you Wirtual for showing me the path to this game. (My English is bad)
Your English is great actually!
i lowkey hate it when people type in perfect english and then end with "( excuse my bad english )''
Welcome to the game none the less brotha :D
Wirtual:
Like you just cannot crash that...
Huh... clearly you havent met me
10:40 love those smooth as hell cuts, nice one buckers
16:35 for some of the less experienced viewers, here's some extra trivia: it's not because of what he says, it's the banking angle and jump direction as well. If you exit from the right side with a wiggle to the left, not only do you, in this scenario, reduce airtime by jumping diagonally, but also by exiting with downwards momentum, as you go from a higher point (right bank) to a lower point (middle of the block). It's the same reason why the previous WR showcased at 18:52 ends up with more speed upon the quarterpipe transition. You reduce airtime by diminishing travel time, as well as getting a cleaner landing which allows carrying more speed by providing more acceleration time and less wonkiness.
when he said “so many of my viewers aren’t subscribed” i was like “well that’s dumb if they’re recurring viewers” and then i realized I myself have not subscribed somehow. i’m the problem
Lol I never noticed myself because I’m subbed to his other channel.
Rotten blueberry. I really started playing in the middle of the Winter 2024 campaign. Your videos were the reason I downloaded the game about 1.5 years ago, then I played for a single day and got busy with work and had to drop it (hence rotten blueberry). Recently, I got into it again and started watching your videos and decided to give it another go. I eventually purchased the subscription (also because of you :D, in a video where you broke down the value of TM2020 vs AAA games). Have been enjoying it a lot so far and want to try my luck at map building some time, but still will wait a bit and play more maps after seeing this video, because...
My thought process:
- Ohh, there should be a lot of speed and a big jump in my first map
- I should throw a curve ball (bait) at one point in my first map
... ticked off 2 boxes already. The only thing I wouldn't have done is a sharp turn at high speed (played quite a few maps that had those and am not a big fan).
Since I am still new, I still have a lot of official campaign maps to go through, but I want to explore some more user created maps and get better at this game.
I appreciate the great content you create, keep it up!
Blueberry!
Thought it was worth a try as I have less time in the day for simracing, haven't tried with my wheel yet but I see the potential.
It's always crazy to me watching streamers who seem so casually great at the game, often competing for 1st globally, what I maybe don't see up front is the dedication behind the scenes and the hours that have gone into learning the physics and 'quirks' of trackmania, but as long as I can find good rhythms in the tracks and get the odd author time, I'm having a fun time. As a Canadian it gives me a sense of pride seeing CarlJr on those leaderboards. I think the challenge of self improvement is just as good as the challenge of other players times. One day I hope to have the honor of joining the leaderboard with the names I watch on Twitch and YT
I used to play TMMF with my dad way back when I was probably 6-8 years old. I didint really under stand how to properly play the game but I always had fun. Eventually I left it behind and kinda grew up. But then one day (12 years later), TH-cam recommends me a video by “Wirtual”… I honestly don’t think I’ve enjoyed content as much as this in a long time. I’ve recently started playing Track mania again, not only 2020 but revisiting TMNF and imagining playing with my dad again. To say the least, thank you for everything you have done for the Track mania Community :) 🏎️
i really love these kind of videos. really simple, lots of room for wirtual to speak about the game. it feels more personal like watching live on twitch :)
Blueberry!
I've been watching you for a few months now - I believe almost a year. But I just didn't have time IRL to start a new game, so I waited until when the time was right. I don't play that often nor that much, but even just a few hours of experience made me look at you from a completely different way. Thanks for introducing to me this beauty!
Hello Wirtual, i started watching ur content maybe around 6 months ago.
I remember playing trackmania waaaay back when, in like 2013, playing on online servers.
I installed the game recently and played a little bit on the campaign, chasing the Author medals. But after getting frustrated at my own skill at driving and learning i quit again shortly after not being able to complete the Author medals on the later maps of the campaign (especially ice).
I was actually gonna record and document my whole journey of the campaign as a total new player but i never did anything of the footage
Anyway, i might dabble again here and there but for now i label myself too bad even as a complete starter by my own standards.
Blueberry ... kind of. I played it when I was a literal child in the early 2000s, quit until 2020 when I played for a week, and then started again about a month ago. But I've been watching actively since 2020.
haven’t started playing yet, but i’ve been binge watching your documentaries and will have to give it a go some day
I just downloaded the game a few weeks ago. I'm a couple medals away from unlocking black tracks which I'm really excited about. I've been watching your content for over a year and is why I downloaded TM!
Blueberry here! I played Nations Forever when it was released on Xbox Live Games with Gold some 8 years ago, but hadn't played any Trackmania game in several years until a week or so ago. I'm really enjoying TM2020!
Blueberry! I guess. Technically.
I played TMNF a million years ago, for like a couple months, but did not find the greater Trackmania community and so only had the tracks the game came with, which were fun and all but did not hold my attention. And then I started watching your videos back during the blindfold era, and _finally_ decided it was time to install TM2020 3 days ago, and I've been working on the seasonal campaign author medals since. It's been a lot of fun, but I do wish there was a bit more "beginner guides to getting started in Trackmania" out there, because I've picked up on a lot of stuff from watching your content which has helped _a lot_ which would be nearly impossible to have learned on the fly, and I'm sure there's still a lot I'm missing only just getting started in the game now.
Blueberry here! I had played summer 2020 campaign for like 5 hours, but I started doing COTD and random online lobbies recently. Started playing after seeing your offline video series, showed me there's more than just the campaign and div 1. I feel like I've been improving pretty quick but it's TOUGH. Very fun to get author times, and the plugins make things very satisfying too. I love stats so having all those is probably what has kept me around.
Blueberry. I found you one time in my recommended, and it was about the history of a map i think, and i loved the game instantly. I have played TMNF for about a week now, and i am planning on getting TM 2020. Thanks for being cool youtuber to watch 😊
Blueberry. I played Turbo when it was free on the Xbox some years ago before 2020 came out. I didn't play it for long. I've been following your main channel for a couple years now but only within the last month did I actually started playing 2020. Honestly the most fun part for me is seeing all the different players driving the map at the same time lol IDK if I'd play the game without the community it has.
Blueberry! Hello Wirtual! I've been watching your content for a bit over a year now (probably) and I have NEVER played Trackmania until two days ago. I wasn't sure if I'd even like it, I haven't played any racing games since I was a kid, and I never did much speedrunning/time attack type gameplay in general. But, you always made the game look interesting so I gave it a try. I'm playing the free edition and my first goal was to get gold medals on every training course. That turned out to be pretty easy, but author medals were a LOT harder. I only got two so far, but I'm still happy with that result. Even these training courses that are less than 10 seconds long feel like they're teaching me a ton about how the car controls, how to carry speed, racing lines, etc. I'm having a lot of fun with it!
That last map felt so relaxing to watch. I don't know if it was the contrast between last few maps, might have been. First time I have re watched a part of the video just for the map.
8:50 blueberry!!!
Bought the club pass and started playing this week actually, haha.
I've been watching your vids for a couple years now. I've had the game for a while but never felt like it was something I'd have the time or dedication to get into.
Not sure what changed, but its a funny coincidence.
Blueberry.
I tried out trackmania a couple years ago, when i first started watching Wirtual, but only for like 10 minutes. I was so bad. I've been gaming my whole life, but I've never really played racing games. Anyways, I didn't get hooked on the game, but Wirtual stayed in my youtube roster for when I wanted something relaxing to watch late at night. About 2 weeks ago, I suddenly got the urge to try trackmania again. I decided to just go all in and buy the club pass, so I could get the full experience of the game. 2 weeks later and now I'm addicted. I've been playing every evening for at least a couple hours, sometimes way more. The feeling you get with the car, especially when switching surfaces, is so satisfying. Even something simple like, going from a drift on grass to a straight line on asphalt. I've learned to embrace that I'm trash at the game, and I'm cool with never getting really good. I just want to have a good time and beat my own PB. I have no doubt that trackmania will stay in my permanent roster of games I'll play obsessively for weeks, then take a break, and then get obsessed again.
By the way, I'm on keyboard. I tried controller, but I just like the feeling better with keyboard. Probably because that is what I primarily use in general.
i LOVE these types of videos. like not super played maps and just hearing you talk about them. big fan. my comfort character is wirtual just enjoying himself
blueberry 🔵
technically I have been aware of trackmania for a long time, I remember ancient youtube videos of really long and crazy hold-forward maps, and I remember hearing about Canyon and Island when they came out. but I never actually played any of the games until about a month ago, after a few weeks of seeing your videos here of discovering maps and chasing world records, i am really intrigued at how strong the community of this game has become!
I'm a blueberry that doesnt have club plus, so I can't play all of the campaign, but I actually have all author times from spring 01 to spring 10, thank you for showing me this game, and about how "then, Halfest got this run". Love the videos!❤
blueberry
I've been watching you for a year or so, just picked it up the day spring 2024 season started. I'm having a blast. My 6 year old son has been playing the training maps and loves them.
"blueberry"
i started playing mostly because i saw the video karl jobst made about trackmania, and went to look for the concurrent video you did with him. idk what it was abt it (since i never play racing games) but i was so enamored with how you played that i started playing for myself
Blueberry! Downloaded 4 days ago! I've been watching your impressive skills for 6ish months. But after playing the game, I've realised your skill to control the car is absolutely off the chart!
I love these new kinds of videos being made! Also, thank you for the Streetpass 3DS music at the beginning! These both make my day!
I have never watched so much of a game that I've never played before
Blew Barry
omg me too!
Pause
@@t19040▶️
@@hishamb5730 Barry is a lucky guy.
really like this offline videos, makes it feel more personal and centered. hope you heep it up!
So I started playing trackmania right after Christmas 2023 and so far I have managed to get several top 10 results in washington state. I have also managed to get a number 1 in washington state on track 14 of the winter 2024 campaign, which was just over 60th in the world. I think I'm doing pretty good but what do you guys think?
wow
Blueberry. Been a viewer for quite a while now. I have just recently decided to actually give the game a go.
Awesome! Welcome to the game :D
@@WirtualTV where is the engine noise?
Blueberry!
Have had it downloaded for quite a while but barely played it in the past. Started playing more frequently and have managed to pick up quite a few author medals which I'm proud of
Blueberry - dabbled a bit with the winter campaign and I'm hunting my last gold medal in the spring campaign (24 is killing me). After that I'm hoping I can improve my 17 author medals to 20, although there's no chance I'm going to hit author times on the last couple of tracks. Love your videos! Thanks for all the great content, I've learned a lot
7.5 on the second map is criminal, it flowed so well
Bro literally got skill issue and gave the map a 7.5. That map was hard and almost everyone here would never get that author medal, but... its a hard map, just that, not a bad map because its hard. That map was insanely beautiful with not that much of scenery. 9.5/10 and I'm being conservative.
@@luiseduardosilvaaraujo7362 agreed, 7.5 was way too low especially for a 1st map
And what's with the title being a blatant lie?
Blueberry!
Finally decided to give it a shot after a while of watching your videos, I started ~5 days ago and only played a few hours total, I am only missing 3 author medals from this campaign although I didn't try those tracks yet, And I've placed in the top 100 for all of canada on two of the campaign tracks! Having a lot of fun so far :)
Car: *Takes spectator's head off*
Wirtual: Sorry~
Blueberry, in tdrms of this trackmania on pc, before i have played trackmabia turbo for 3 years on my ps4 until i looked up autoher times, saw a video about it on your channel, and thats how i found this channel
Cool to see im not the only one who got into the main community more
Pls never stop doing the off stream vids. I enjoy them alot.🙏 Also love the on stream ones ofc.
blueberry. my friend aswell. I brought him aswell just like you said one time, you brought me, I brought him.
blueberry, i've been watching your channel for probably a year by now, and I downloaded the game yesterday. you make it look so so easy
Blueberry, just began playing TrackMania two weeks ago because of a really nice youtuber named WirtualTV. Thx for introducing me to the game and keep up the hard work!!!
Blueberry.
I played some trackmania2 when that first came out but I had maybe 10 hours at most and hardly remember any of it. Trackmania is a lot of fun. Club access feels mandatory, the free version is more like a trial imo. My main problem is that most of the more advanced mechanics are hardly explained at all and there don‘t seem to be great maps to learn them, like bugsliding. Going for the author medals on the spring campaign(which is my first) is pretty fun but also really frustrating because half the time I don‘t know how the wr time got so much speed seemingly out of nowhere. All in all great experience tho.
blueberry? is that a destiny reference?
clearly a planetside reference smh my head
About a year and a half ago I discovered you channel and when I got my gaming laptop I downloaded trackmania and I really enjoy the game so thank you
Well, I'm a clear blueberry then XD
Although I started playing TMNF and still like it more because it's not riddled with "Here, play this map! Oops, you can't do that without club access!" parts. E.g. playing older campaigns. Nothing tells you you can't do that, until you click on the map to actually start playing it. Or playing past the first two columns in the current campaign, also doesn't say "You need club access to unlock this" like the medal requirements, but just when you start to play it tells you you need club access. At least ranked seems to be free and I actually managed to become "Most valuable player" in one match.
10:38 another transition masterpiece
You got me into this game, but it was almost a year ago, right after summer 2023 came out
blue berry.... you got me back into it xd i used to play alongside frostbeule and karjen back in tmnf like 2014..? around that time. your videos made me nostalgic, go back to the game and win some online rounds but simply for the publisher being ubisoft i had to stop again.
Blueberry!!
Been watching your videos for a long time but finally picked up the game in the last few weeks and got author times on the free access campaign! Thinking of picking up the club access soon so I can get the full experience and enjoy the rest of the game. Not sure on what peripheral to use but just playing whatever I feel and loving the game so far!
Blueberry and I got two other blueberries to come along with me
Lovely video! I miss engine sound tho! So quiet without it:(
blueberry,
I started playing Trackmania 2020 like 2 month ago again, i played a bit of tmnf back in 2012. I enjoy your content and it made me start again.
Blueberry gang👇
The sheer AUDACITY to use Toontown music in the first 20 seconds of the video
Right?! Hearing that immediately sent me back 15 years
I have never played Trackmania in my life, nor intend to do so, I just love your videos! So I'll keep watching Trackmania as long as you keep making Trackmania videos.
I think the reason you mostly get high speed into sharp corners, is because that is the best formula for a track in real racing. A long straight, followed by a hard breaking zone, allows one to overtake
OK that was weird. I just clicked on a wirtual clips short and this got uploaded. It was like I summoned it xdd
bro had the wrong cam settings again
🔴
23:16 such a smooth transition. I was confused for several seconds.
I'm a very mouldy blueberry, Wirtual got me into TMNT about 6 years ago and then I've played TM2020 since release. Still here and still a big fan! Welcome to all the fresh blueberries!
Blueberry! Just started playing about a week ago
last map got in totd rn lol
knew i saw it somewhere
i was about to write the same thing lol
I am one of those who started playing trackmania from watching your videos of the few people doing the wr's for on and off. Where I just downloaded the game instantly bought the full access of it like a 2 weeks ago. I am not even close to any world records set by people in this current season but I proudly have all the author medals in all 3 sections of difficulty (I forgot the colors) and my biggest achivement is owning the 50th place in the records for the countrywise leaderboards where I dropped to 60th and I just cant gain time with my own current skills now but hey its fun
I love how many WTV-videos got released in the last couple of days.. I had to enable the bell, to not miss out!
Well ... Blueberry here too. It's this video that finally motivated me to start playing !
I've been really interested in this game for more than 10 years now. I think it's time to give it a go!
15:18 "Checkpoints were cut prevention" that's what Nadeo's campaign tracks in tm2020 feels like, they just pack maps full of checkpoints: in the middle of turns, immediately before hard to aim jumps, etcetera. Placing checkpoints that easily result in you not being able to complete the map without a hard reset
When mapers are still young the old ones used to tell them storys. Storys about a creature called Wirtual. It is said to lurk in the depths of the Reddit in constant search for prey. This legendary creature will hunt their maps to the extrem, exposing every fault.
I’ve never played track mania, for some reason you were in my recommended and Ive really enjoyed your content 😀
Blueberry 😂 I’ve watched your channel for years and I’ve played track mania at friends houses but downloaded the game and have actually been playing the campaigns trying to get author times it’s been very enjoyable!
Blueberry, ive started with TMNF like a month ago, got all the gold medals except for black tracks, literally 4 days ago started with Trackmania 2020. I love both games so far, I got into them after a AI Trackmania training video appeared in my main page, it was really good, and then I found you. Tomorrow I'm buying club access, Im excited. Wish I had a bit better pc tho
I do love some Wirtual Videos with Blueberry cobbler... But really i do think its your videos that are bringing people into the game. Great job as always.
Blueberry
Been loving it so far. Community is great. Progression feels linear. Been watching your videos for a long time. Glad I finally started playing.
blueberry
been a viewer of you channel for a longtime and finally decided to just give it a try and my man you make it look easy lol
blueberry ... i started trackmania and was so struggling with driving anything fast at it , its pretty difficult. I came back after playing Trackmania on the WII , so a long time ago , i was WR Holder in one of these WII Tracks it was one of these wooden Tracks , thats still one thing that i remember well.
Started playing this spring! Got a few author medals, havent bought the subscription yet but im definitely going to once im bored of the trial maps
Haven't started playing yet, but I'll probably start when I take my summer break. The game's free, so I don't even have to wait for a sale like I usually do!
EDIT: Blueberry, but not really. Got excited, decided to install it and start playing already. The Ubisoft Connect and additional account I needed to make should have been enough warning. This isn't a free game with an optional subscription for bonus stuff, it's a subscription game with a free demo. Spent two and a half hours in-game (including about 20 minutes to figure out why sound wasn't working (you have to replace game files with separately downloaded replacements to get that to work)). Finished the training (which _was_ fun, tbf), then couldn't find the campaign maps I had seen in some other Wirtual videos. Decided to play the seasonal campaign, then quickly found out I was only allowed to play less than half of it without paying. Paying _monthly._ There is no option to _buy_ the game. The various setup steps before even getting to play the game killed my excitement before I even started, and then being blue-balled by the (second choice) campaign made me uninstall the game. Sucks too, was really looking forwards to making my own maps once I got better at the game.
