Will TM2 be able to hold players for 9 months?

Hi everyone!

Yes, the new lighting system is great - the tracks look incredible with the soft shadows.
Yes, I'm sure with ManiaScript we'll see some great tracks and new ideas.
Yes, there are many small improvements which make TM2 a great game.
Yes, Canyon is a great environment with a large variety of blocks.

Still I find it unfortunate that Canyon will be the only TM2 environment for the next ... 9 months (if all goes according to plan). Apart from the nice scenery and all the different blocks one thing doesn't change and that's the handling of the car. For me one great thing about TMUF was that I had the choice between completely different approaches to driving in the 7 environments.

Of course you can argue that I can still play TMUF if I'm looking for diversity. But still, couldn't Nadeo have managed to put at least 2 environments in the initial release of TM2 after 3 years of development?

During 3 years, Nadeo had working on QM, SM and TM2 and not only TM2. They began 2 environments of TM2, 2 of SM and 1 or maybe 2 of QM.

The next environment of TM2 is for 6 months and not 9.

will the modders have freedom to improvise and provide their own texture packs?

Where did you get this information from? From what I know it's 3 months to the release of SM then another 3 months to the release of QM and then another 3 months to the release of the next TM environment.
