Here I'm gonna tell you guys about one of my favorite video games.

Ace of Spades Classic is a voxlap run first person shooter with sandbox building. Originally developed in 2011, it provides an old fashioned sense of bad pixel quality and gameplay from run and gun all the way to sittin' and snipin'.

You might be thinking it's exactly like Minecraft, but besides for the graphics/blocks, the gameplay is very different. Not only because it has guns, but it's also completely PvP.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Moddability

The best part about Ace of Spades is that it's extremely moddable, the weapons you saw in the video were completely default. If you really get into it you can mod scopes, gun skins, bases, player skins, grenade skins, spade models, intel, and even sounds!

I personally use pixel scopes for my rifle and smg, with customized skins, and a spas 12 model shotgun with an ironsight.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Weapons

As you can see in the trailer, there are three weapons: rifle, shotgun, and sub machine gun.

Rifle great for all distances, but plays best at a medium long range. The weapon most players snipe with.

SMG made more for run and gun and taking down enemy structures with its fast bullet spray. *cough* noob weapon *cough*

Shotgun beast at close range, obliterating all the enemies and blocks it hits. Love to use this in arena.

In addition to these three choices, you automatically have a spade, grenade, and 50 blocks.

Spade you can use take down buildings, dig through the map, or brutally savage other players.

Grenade just what you think it is, pulling the pin and exploding everything around it. Suicide charges are the best :p

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Game Modes

Most of these servers are available at http://aloha.pk

First team to reach a certain amount of kills wins.

Grab and capture the enemy team's intel the designated number of times to win.

Two teams that fight to the death with no building, destroying, or respawning until one team wins the round by defeating the entire enemy team.

Build a tower to the heavens, grab the intel, and hurry back down before being shot.

Capture the only intel which is placed in the middle of the map for both teams to grab.

Capture the only intel and take it to the enemies' base for a nice twist on ctf.

Capture the flag, except you can play as either a zombie or human, zombies have 10 times normal health and can jump extremely high, but are limited by only being able to use spades, unless you capture the human team's intel and turn into a human-zombie that is!

Four different teams play with one intel on specially designed maps.

Everyone man for himself!

Capture enemy bases in order until they have none left.

Capture all the bases for your team to spawn in until there's no more bases left for the enemy team and your team emerges victorious.

One team attempts to defend their base without respawns against the enemy team coming in waves to try and take it until the time runs out.

Grief your way through the map to try and recover the intel and reach your base inside a completely ground filled map.

Fight with shotguns and grenades through an unbreakable net in between the two teams.

Capture and hold the designated point of the map for the given time limit.

One team attempts to breach the enemies' fort, grab the intel, and rush quickly back to their base, while the other team defends.

'Kick' the base into your teams designated net or touchdown area.

Capture the only intel to gain various powers.

Equip a block to choose a power. Capture the intel to level up your powers and unlock new ones, which can also be done with high kill streaks.

Choose a 'class' to help you defeat the enemy. Each class contains unique powers to help your team or defeat the enemy players.

Also known as mode or rpg.

Build your way to your base while undertaking constant enemy fire.

Shoot, spade, and grenade without damage to knock enemies off the map to certain death below.

Reserve a sector and show off your artistic talent by building magnificent artwork.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So, anyway, hope you guys enjoy. Ever since Jagex took over we hang around and play the classic version at http://buildandshoot.com . Thanks for reading!

Seems interesting to play. I've been looking for a FPS to play after TF2. My PC can't really run pretty much anything unfortunately, so low graphics like this and Quake Live are what I play. With many modes, there's no doubt I will get bored anytime soon. How active is the community by the way?

Pretty active if someone starts a conversation. There's been a lot of clan break ups recently so the time is ripe for somebody to start a new, mature, skilled clan.

I was sitting here ready to rant about how much Jagex screwed over this game, and then I saw the classic part.

Thanks for making me have to play this again.
