What is Ace of Spades?
It's a free to play FPS currently in beta. It is most easily described as Minecraft with guns.

AoS takes place on a map with blue and green teams, both trying to capture the others Intelligence. Each person has a shovel for digging tunnels, a pickaxe for precision work, a standard issue Rifle, and 25 blocks to place. You can collect more blocks by destroying other blocks with your pickaxe. Each team builds, digs, and assaults the opponents base, WW1 style.
It seems a little cheesy at first, and the servers are not the most stable, but it's great fun. I'm working on getting a server up here in the next week or 2 myself but until then I am normally found on US west servers under the name Charizard.

It's impossible to get on a server for this game. Or at most, half an hour on one before it crashes.
That said, incredibly fun. Saw it about before RPS did a post on it and now I'm sure it's going to become too popular for its own good.

Yeah, server connection is a problem. It is just about some of the most fun i've had in a while though. As bad as it seems, some of the most stable servers are the 4chan ones. Block ops, Ditches and Ores, and Propane are almost always up and rather consistant.
The games only been out for a week and it has gotten rather popular really fast. I see it going through a lot of problems that Notch went through with minecraft.

As bad as it may seem I heard about the game from 4chan, so no surprise their servers are fine. Part of the problem really is that their servers are the only ones that can stay up but are also the most popular ones so good luck getting on.
If more servers pop up now and he can actually get the game to connect properly, this is going to be gold. It's already the most fun I've had in a shooter for ages.

Just played a bit of this, 'tis excellent. The nausea cam is a bit irritating at first, though.

Tried for a while, haven't been able to start a game. Maybe I'll try back when it gets further along and easier to use.

This game is so immersive, even though it's like a pre-alpha.
I love it, can't wait for more options like machine guns and stuff, I kind of hope it keeps the WW1/2 theme though
