    Hey folks. Wanted to bring some variety to you strong-willed forgers out there.

    There's Creation, Destruction, and a lot of Headshots.

    Thought you guys might be interested.
    This game was just released a few days ago. One of my friends showed it to me.

    It's in Beta 0.22 so there are some complications and server issues.


    Here's a video of the game:

    I think it's interesting to see a minecraft-esque game hybridized, but I'm at a lost as to the point of the hybridization. I've seen LP's of a game called infiniminer, which was a precursor to minecraft and game play revolved around two teams trying to gain more resources than the other team. Now, I get the point of an fps, to kill the opposing team. I also understand minecraft as a game, where in players build there own experience. I feel like your friend is on the cusp of something but not fully realizing the potential.

    For what reason should one team build? (I understand the value in creating a fortress, but many casual players want to simply "get in" on the action, there needs to be a reason to build, defend, and venture out to the other team)

    I would suggest exploring a mechanic where teams must build up there base to protect their 'flag', but they need mineral resources, which requires players mining and other players to watch their backs. Miners become high profile targets for their wealth of resources, but would also be a valuable asset for the team, if they can 'dig' their way into the enemy base. This would require the same class that watches the miner's backs to venture out to scout out the location of the team's base. The locations of the 'flag' spawn could be randomly generated in the levels.

    Miner's could also gather resources to create underground sensors to detect enemy seismic activity, harvest plants for medkits or revives, and the resources necessary to create a well defended or disguised base (building a hill over the flag spawn).

    Idk, I think what you're friend is doing could be better made by modding minecraft than starting from the ground up. (Minecraft's graphics are much better, no offense)

    Anyways, food for thought. I just felt like, when I watched the video that your friend added guns all willy nilly without thinking about where he wanted to take gameplay to.

    Well, for one, my friend didn't make the game, he found it online.
    I played it and it's really good. The point of building is you can build a fortress around your intel and then go for the other team's intel.

    The only problem I ran into was resource hackers and griefers. The hackers got infinite grenades and threw them at people's fortresses.

    Plus, if you dig around the intel or build on it it will just pop out over the blocks.

    Honestly, I think you should just play it. I had no idea what it was as soon as I started playing. I didn't even know it was a Minecraft parody with guns. All I knew was it was a new game to play and I tried it.

    I liked the idea. Plus, it's only in the beta phase. There's still a lot more stuff the producer is going to do with it. I'm hoping he puts in fixed MGs.

    But yeah.. At least try the game. :/

    I like making a pillbox-thing and building a perfectly straight tunnel all the way to their base that I can look down.

    They think it's a shortcut, and I just headshot them all.

    Good to see there are some positive comments. I thought this would be a good game for those who liked Forging and matchmaking in Reach.

    It's a really small file and easy to play. Plus, it's not even about the graphics. Minecraft has **** graphics and people love it. AoS has even shittier graphics but awesome gameplay.

    The producer just released a new Server Hotfix and Beta update.

    "LATEST NEWS: 4/13 22:50 EST
    BETA 0.26 is out! This is a mandatory upgrade for servers and clients.
    It features anti-cheat measures, votekicking, and better connection error handling.
    You can simply install over an older version."


    EDIT: Also, here is his Facebook page if you want to add him.

    lmao this game is ****ing awesome. building tunnels from one side to the other, run into a dirty blue doing the same thing, stare at eachother for a half a second, then all out warfare. being that the game is getting alot of attention now I hope the creator adds new elements that keep it fresh, but still its hella fun.

    This sure would make dealing with creepers in Minecraft easier.

    Lol me and my friend just set up a server, I used a mod to build unlimited blocks and ****, and we built this kick ass fortress wall and ****, but then some griefer totalled it. Guess it servers me right for using "Hacks". Though I really hope in the future we can see a perma-ban, or admin-ban feature. Votekicking takes to long, and by that time the griefer is succesful :(.

    You use Cheat Engine, right?
