Aw shit yeah lets do this, some Ace of Spades. Voxel powered Team-based CTF with fully destructable/constructable procedurally generated terrain. If you get motion sick really really easy this might not be a good idea but try anyway.
Links
Get the game client here, its the only mirror at the moment.
Head on over to the server list to get playing.
[Note: Only the master server is running at the moment, but the server client is packed in with the installer, if you wanna run a server go for it, it'll show instantly on the server list. (Remember to open port 32887)]
Game Information
Alright so you got the client installed, your in the game, you have 5 items, its foggy, and you want to vomit cause looking down makes you sick. Now What Meta?
Glad you asked, just gonna brief you right here right now right here.

What now?: CP & Intel
Alright so you got a map, that shit is mad useful, check out this modified map that I personally modified modification so you can tell whats buckets from shit.
You got a Capture Point, that is where you take intel, and receive ammo/health/blocks. Looks a lot like the thing in this picture, almost identical.
The Enemy got some Intel you want, but they want yours so watch out cause they gonna get it. Its usually a briefcase with a colored arrow on it.
Now get out there and be a Winner
New Update: SMG is a fucking beast

The Trouble Shoot
Trouble with the Config.ini file on Windows XP:If you are having trouble editing the config, open up Notepad as an Admin first, then open up config.ini in that, and then save it. (Submitted by Marshmallow)
Yeller Belly Bruhaha
Why can't we move our own Intel? This is a concern as to whether or not to be implemented, as it seems allowing players to move the Intel just means they are going to shove it into the corner closest to spawn, but without anyway to recover ground lost, your Intel slowly makes its way into the opponent's CP once they have broken your primary fortification.
Servers are a whole less shitty and the changelog is balls deep, so let me give you a quick skim before dumping the rest.
*There is now auto-climbing, allowing you to walk up surfaces adjacent to you that are one block higher.
*There is a Sub Machine Gun now
*Vote kicking
*Can use custom maps now
Thats all you really need to give a shit about but you can read the rest if you want.

Been tearing it up with loki and a few others from PA, being relatively new its just out there, not enough peeps in this piece.
"I think I can comment on this because I used to live above the Baby Doll Lounge, a topless bar that was once frequented by bikers in lower Manhattan."
Alternate answer: ahahaha
seriously I don't know, but right now I can't assume.

Would like to know more about your computer, and what happens when it fails to launch.
Aight, I can do that when I get home. I can't remember my specs offhand really. The game just crashes and throws up a generic "this program has stopped working" message.
ok actual specs now
Intel Core i7 2.67 processor
6 gigs of RAM
NVidia 460 GTX video card
64-bit Windows 7 OS
Which is unusual, since I normally don't get motion sickness.
Second I think Windows 7 might be your problem Mega? people had problems with the config file due to running Vista, maybe you can mimic what they did.
Graphics cards shouldn't matter in the least as this game uses software based rendering, but I'm no whiz at this stuff so it'd be great if you could submit your specs to me via PM, and I'll get it to the dev for future consideration. Being the start of public beta testing, its not certain we can get hotfixes or much support to many folks, which is a same, but I do endeavor to collect information from those who can't get things running so hopefully everyone can enjoy AoS sometime soon.
Candy Is dandy, But liquor Is quicker
Edit: NEVER MIND I SHOULD READ THE POSTS DIRECTLY ABOVE MINE.
Core2Duo E8400
Nvidia GTX460 768mb
4GB Ram
client.exe has stopped working on launch.
Phooey.
I never asked for this!
Yeah, I've been getting the same thing. With this newer version too.
You're clicking the application?
Pretty sure the only way it works is if you click Play on the website and choose a server.
No error message now, it just shows up briefly on the process list and then disappears.
I never asked for this!
I agree completely but how the hell would building shit work
Is the server busy or is the file seriously just gone?
Well you could put blocks down in large chunks like bricks.
I never asked for this!
when I beat the first level it just loops the level finished screen
is this just one level or what
Yeah it's just the first level of wolfenstein 3d. It's been around forever though so I'm assuming that's all it will ever be.
I never asked for this!
is there anything else done like this?
I never asked for this!
Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun and Red Alert 2 use voxels for their vehicles, rather than sprites or polygonal 3d models. :science: But for the game world? Yeah no idea.
The concept sounds great though. Seems like a good candidate for a WW1-themed game, with trenching and the like.
Edit: Yeah, I think I'm not going to be able to play this. Oh well.

Got progressively more motion sick.
Oh well. Have fun with the game duders.
