Ace of Spades = Minecraft + Battlefield

Ace of Spades is a freeware, multiplayer Minecraft-alike that takes Minecraft’s cuboid building mechanics and drapes a World War 1 setting on top of it, with the end result being a huge, immersive, dynamic game of capture the flag.

On the one hand, you’ve got two teams of sixteen exchanging rifle fire and grenades, trying to push forward and outflank one another. On the other hand, both teams are trying to improve their position by building bunkers, bridges and tunnels. If you want to give it a shot you’ll find the game here and a guide to playing it here. If not, then I’ve assembled ten reasons why you should reconsider your position after the jump. I want to stand up and high-five RPS reader David Lake for sending this in, but alas, this is the internet. What a shame.

    This looks more appealing to me than vanilla.

    Saw the RPS article this morning, too.

    Looks really interesting, though I hope they get a more robust server quickly, as I'd like to see whitelisting/login before I thought about running one.

    They managed to make it even uglier than original Minecraft.

    Sounds like a great idea, but the screenshots alone make my head hurt. I hope it looks better in motion, because that is one ugly game.

    You should see the game when you look straight down *shudders*
