Lu Posted November 10, 2014 That was a lot of fun! We did some Deathmatch and eventually got a 3 on 3 CTF match going. Team Red was rad and Team Blue were terrible human beings, but I had fun regardless. A new game has been rolled and it iiiiiis: "Community maintained fork of voxel based Minecraft-meets-Battlefield game Ace of Spades. Up to 32 players per server. Alternatively, the OpenSpades clone runs across Windows Mac and Linux."[/size] It's a free download! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigJKO Posted November 10, 2014 Well that was some excellent Soldating! I think I won it. Reveal hidden contents I didn't, but I think I got ok at launching grenades and lobbing grenades. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dinosaursssssss Posted November 10, 2014 Soldat was neat. No idea if it was intentional, but the kinda awkward character acceleration plus jetpack mean you can kinda do Tribes-style skiing to get good speeds going off ramps. Some of the other physics-y stuff was cool too, like how the minigun pushes you backward, so if you're in midair shooting down you hover a little bit. Little touches like the 2d ragdolls, rolling/backflipping, and ricocheting bullets added some fun and unpredictability too. I kinda wish I'd given this a shot when it first came out, I imagine it would have been a lot of fun to play at LAN parties. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jutranjo Posted November 11, 2014 I remembered the movement system being pretty fun to play but I was sure it was nostalgia until I actually tried it again. Running and running while jumping has a difference in speed but it's easy enough to do that everyone did it. I just saw that jump+crouch throws a flag, that would have probably made even more close saves. Throwing a grenade at the flag stand before grabbing the flag while nearly flying was really reminiscent of Tribes. Also felt great to snipe the enemy flag carrier just nearly reaching his stand with a grenade in the tunnel. We did a few CTF maps, I liked the ones with 3 paths to the flag more than the Crucifix level (flag in a room) and the one that only had a single tunnel (only 2 ways to come to the flag). Rambo (RamBOW) match was fun but it's only really fun when you have the bow. I was surprised when different levels had different amounts of jetpack charge.

Lu Posted December 7, 2014 Alright, tomorrow we're going to revisit Bionic Commando. Just as a heads up, you will need Hamachi as we'll be playing on a simulated LAN, since the master server is no longer around. As always, we meet on our Mumble channel! In hamachi you need to go to 'Network > Join existing network' and connect to the following: (Case and space sensitive:) Idle Ham 1 Idle Ham 2 Idle Ham 3 Password for all 3 of these: games If you cannot join 1, then it's full, so join 2 and so on. Let me know if you have any problems. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lu Posted December 9, 2014 Fun game! Those were a few really intense matches! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dibs Posted December 9, 2014 This game was fun. I didn't enjoy the canyon maps though, i just couldn't navigate them. I did like very so often just climbing a building and finding a hilarious battle raging, and then everyone just dived off the edge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TinKelp Posted December 15, 2014 Is this still around? The last event scheduled in the Steam group was for MNC in October. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lu Posted December 15, 2014 It is! You know, I have completely forgotten to put it in the Steam group event schedule ever since MNC! I'll try to add it to the Steam event schedule from now on. Last week was the last one of the year though. It will resume in Januari. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
