I know we have a few Minecraft players here, and someone linked this on another forum. When I saw it, I immediately thought of you guys here.

Ace of Spades is a Minecraft knock-off with an important twist: a WW1 setting. Players carry rifles and grenades, can build defensive structures across a huge map, all while playing a game of CTF. The shooting "is more akin to Red Orchestra than anything else" according to RPS. So it's very lethal. While the game is still in early beta, it's free, and I hear good things about several hour matches where players build trenches, fox holes, bridges, all to defend their flag, while simultaneously undermining enemy constructions (like knocking out the bottoms of walls causing the whole thing to collapse.)

Read the RPS article, it goes into much more detail about what's possible. People are already salivating at the prospect of future features, like artillery strikes and such.
 
Well, this certainly looks pretty cool, might have to try it out at some point! :IS2:

I stress the "beta" part. Bunch of people have problems connecting to servers in general, or connecting to specific servers.

I lied about installing. I cant even download it off mediafire because the download never starts. Some people are having trouble getting it to work in Win7_64 too. And the game run through a browser and firefox isnt supported?

The guy making the game wasn't expecting it to get so popular so fast. It seems he was expecting it to be a small beta test, but 4chan's video games board (which was where I found it) caught wind of it and it spread like wildfire.

The master server was overloaded, causing the problems people are having joining servers, but he's slowly fixing it. The games been updated like 3 time in the past few days.
