ace of spades (build and shoot) (not the jagex one)
some dude made a game a couple years back like 2011, jesus christ, where you are either green (good guys who build bridges and fight for your freedom) or blue (dirty tunnel digging scum, probably smell from all the dirt they dig, hide in holes all day) in what was basically the most fucking traumatizing block game ever made
originally (or, well, early on, I don't remember the update timeline) you had a rifle, shovel, pickaxe, grenades, and blocks the map was random every time (though it maintained some consistent elements, like a river on green's side of the map and mountains on blue's), the fog was super fucking thick (still is), and you had no idea if you were doing to hear the sound of your head being blown open at any time while you tried to grab the other team's intel and run back
this game actually encourages tactics like camouflage or building trenches because if someone domes you with a rifle you're done
later updates added a SMG/shotgun and custom map support
I think the game has lost a lot of its purity thanks to the custom maps because most servers run tower of babel (the intel is on a platform in the sky so both teams have to make a fuckhuge tower/staircase to it)/other shit, and the maps often aren't as open to creative play
there's some decent popular maps out there, and sometimes hallway/pinpoint can be fun, but otherwise there's basically one classicgen server and it needs a shot in the arm to get a game started
jagex bought the game while the dev was working on a patch with some new stuff and released an entirely new, different game on steam that didn't really resemble the original - I thought it was fun enough, but it completely missed the point of the OG game and it didn't really catch on
to their credit it later got a classic ctf mode that's essentially a recreation of the old game (0.75) and a map editor and shit, which is cool, it's kinda unfortunate that it died
also when the game was originally picking up steam there was this awesome quote unquote roleplaying people did where they made propaganda posters and shit
dirty fucking blues keep digging holes and shit fuc kyou remove stinkyl blues
we should play it some time, it's like -4MB and can run on literally anything
the download page has a launcher which can be used to download the "official" clients (0.75/0.76, the ones the original dev was working on that run on voxlap) or openspades, an opensource version with fancy graphics (fucking volumetric fog and shit I kid you not) that connects to any server - i'd personally recommend the OG client because it has a LOT of charm/atmosphere and i'm not kidding when i say it'll run on anything, plus it's fairly easy to mod if you want to powergame and make your rifle ironsights just a dot
most people play on 0.75, I think there's like one 24/7 0.76 server and i've never even played 0.76 so who cares
pretty old and memey trailer here if you want some gameplay, unfortunately it was made after custom maps got added so the atmosphere isn't really there

this is like wurm in that i would shit my pants if we got a bunch of people to play, but this is far more viable because it's a. free and b. way less commitment, you can download it and be up and running and having fun in less than 5 minutes
images:
^ is old as fuck, there's only a shovel now - pickaxe was used for single blocks, shovel was slower but destroyed the block above/below as well (this is just relegated to lmb/rmb now)
tips:
-like I said with the shovel above, use lmb and rmb for digging modes, but keep in mind that only lmb digging refills your blocks (you have 50 of them)
-you can walk into your HQ to capture intel and be fully healed/rearmed
-the rifle is the best gun in the game fuck you if you disagree the rifle can one shot anybody, is accurate on the first few shots, and is also the coolest gun
-green is the best team in the game fuck you if you disagree
-blocks that are not connected to the ground will collapse - don't build a 1x1 tower up into the sky and then put a bunker on top
-you can shoot blocks out to destroy them, along with the obvious grenades/shovel - the rifle is able to destroy a block in 2/3 hits and the shotgun shreds them up close
-being a sapper is a legitimately good idea, along with digging trenches, building bunkers, etc. - thinking about where people will come from and how you can use the terrain/buildings to your advantage works amazingly well
-you can change your block colour with arrow keys, and if you hit E while aiming at a block you'll copy its colour - this used to be the pro strat for building invisible bridges over water (since the colour is the same, it's not visible on the map, which lets you sneak around better) but it also works for camouflaging the tops of buildings
-if you dig a bunker into a hill, copy the colour of the ground and build a wall inside that faces the hole with that colour - it makes it much harder to spot the bunker as a result
-for whatever reason the resolution options in the launcher are limited, just press "view on disk" and open the config to put in your resolution

Why did jagex have to ruin this gem so badly
Color changing blocks was the greatest thing ever instead of being forced into blue or green.

Re: ace of spades (build and shoot) (not the jagex one)
love ace of spades build n shoot version. one of the few games I can play above 60 fps on my pc...
personally I love the version with smg, rifle, shotgun. even though the only server with people online is hallway 24/7 which tbh is just not fun at all in anyway imo. Even though everyone uses the smg as a better rifle I prefer the shotgun because generally i spend the whole game autisming the base with fortifications.

I never got why people claimed the SMG was OP or better than the rifle. It does tickle damage and the projectile travel time makes it kind of useless at long range. Hell, even in close quarters anyone decent with a rifle can fuck up someone with an SMG no problem. All it takes is one good headshot and that dude's done.

I agree but every time I'm on the hallway 24/7 server it's pretty much smg only, mainly I think it's because hackersJacough wrote:I never got why people claimed the SMG was OP or better than the rifle.

0.75 made smgs better at destroying heads by adding rifle spread
0.76 made smgs better at destroying blocks but at least removed rifle spread

obviously you don't hit every shot at extreme ranges thanks to it but i've never had extreme accuracy issues

i just find it annoying as fuck and heresy and a further buff to the "whoops one lucky hit to the head now one of the 15,000 other bullets flying at you only needs to gently kiss your nipples and you're dead" smg

I don't think it's as easy as a config change, but I know for a fact that server mods exist and are relatively common (some of the more degenerate servers have airstrikes and shit) so it probably wouldn't be impossible

There was a .75 AoS server hosted by /v/ which just disabled SMGs entirely, removed map tracers, and a few other tweaks to make it basically identical to .54 that they wank over endlessly but people still refuse to move past .54 despite not being able to play windowed or remap keybinds.
Shit was fun.

No I mean even with the changes to make it as close to .54 as possible, there were a very large group who reeeee'd in unison that they had to stop playing .54, so they didn't and kept playing .54 and shitposted violently at any mention of .75

how the fuck did they keep playing .54, wasn't the master server still a thing then
