Server: [url=aos://1593071427]SpecialAttack.net Unofficial[/url] (This server is hosted by me, not SpA, so you'll get USA server pings)
Its website is looking pretty shabby atm, probably to deal with the massive traffic they're probably getting.
Ace of Spades is the building mechanics of minecraft in a battlefield scenario. Two teams compete for eachothers' intel briefcases, fighting it out in player made bunkers, trenches, and foxholes with a WWI style semi auto rifle and a couple of grenades.
The environment is destructible, AND reconstructible. It takes a fair bit of team work and planning to succeed. Put up a watch tower and get a few snipers in the top to dominate half of the battlefield. Work out a series of tunnels for surprise attacks and easy escapes. Set up colored block decoys to draw your opponents fire.
The graphics are actually WORSE than minecraft, but it doesn't detract from gameplay imo. It looks like they're using some sort of voxel graphics system. Things up close get a bit rough, but its still easy enough to pick out distant enemies.
Give it a shot. Its a free download and a quick set up. To launch a game, just install and click on one of the server links on the site. The server links launch the client automatically.

Was reading about this on RPS earlier and it looks very tasty indeed. Will be giving it a try tomorrow.

The graphics are sin, but I've actually been waiting for a game like this to come out as spin off from minecraft, so I will deffinetly be giving it a try.
Yeah, gotta agree, Junco. Has potential but the movement is utterly useless. Simply should not take 2-3 attempt to jump up a block. Also, INVERT MOUSE!!! For the love of FUCK who makes a game an does not put that option in? Idiot...
My main concern is that it will devolve into what Red Orchestra did: just a sniper-thon where now one moves for hours on end. It's already like that a bit now as well :

I had these issues, but you get use to the funny jumping, and you have to be alittle clever with mining, and poppping up behind the sharpshooters, if you just walk there alone you will get killed haha
I read somewhere that it's in very very earlier developments, and it's only just been realeased it seems, it's already had update overnight, I just hope it really goes somewhere.
hm I don't think the minecrafters are seeing this post
I think you get more and more use to the movement, I've just come off from playing it, I was getting bored of killing Deuces and stealing the intel haha Hidden tunnels that go to their area's a good tactic, and mark out the way with subtle coloured blocks, very easy to kill people when you flank them, they get confused. As the games new, it's very easy to be a good player on there
We should make a little server, I mean they don't look like much to run, could probably do it off a decent pc.

I think haf had one running for a little while yesterday, it ran fine. It'd be nice to have a server.

Kinda, but almost every server is like that for now....but still addicting

There's too many minecrafters in it actually, my çast team was 18-0 BUT in a 10v10 8 of us where just building a fort around our intel..I'm surprised me and another guy were able to score 18 times in what was like a 2v10

Yeah this games getting quite fun, just rambo'ing it. I think in one life I killed somone, jumped and crouched in the river and collapsed half of the wall they had on the map, jumped out, threw a grenade at a guy inside a bunker, then snook around and killed two guys
Sometimes they'll be those snipers who will just be almost impossible to kill. They just kill you over over o_o all you can do is mine around them and then shoot them in the back of the head hehe one tactic Im seeing is to make make walls just opposite their's this is great it gives you cover, and the war becomes more intimate rather than just deuces marching to their death
Hmm, living in Australia seems to actually have an effect on this game, I've been killed by lag a fair few times, most of the servers are EU or US.

Played it for a bit. Got horribly mauled and beaten. Might go back to it in a few months when I can actually see further than a few feet and there's some sort of damage indicator so I might have a chance of killing whoever is shooting me.

Your health is the number in the center on the bottom. You also make loud grunting noises when you get hit. Headshots are instakills though.

By damage indicator I mean something that notifies me where the fire is coming from like most shooters have these days.
Nothing is less fun than just dropping dead without any indication of what killed you and from where.
