Has anyone got the invite to betatest B-F

I registered, but apparently beta codes are being released in "waves".

[CalenLoki]

Old news... registered 14.01, but still no access to beta.
And to slightly decrease amount of doubled threads, it could be merged into existing one:

Also - from the posted video we can see it's nothing like AoS - It's just shooter that use blocky maps and have incredibly easy map editor, while in AoS building and destroying is very important part of the actual gameplay.

It's a perfect Facebook game. Nothing more. I played for several minutes. I went straight to AOS, LMAO. it's jut your regular shooter. whit japanese sounds in it atleast in my version. Killing somebody takes several shots.

I hope AOS is not tunring into a mainstream game.

Just wait until we get OpenGl...

[UNDERCOVER]

Yep, I played it, still playing it right now, actually.
Opinion?
Awesome game, way better than AoS, both graphically and gameplay wise.
I really don't see in which aspect AoS could be better than this game, like, seriously, B-F has an even bigger community, over 100.000 people registered for the Beta, and their servers are overloaded, and they have two massive server bases, one in Frankfurt, Germany, and one in North Carolina, USA, so the game is practically lag-free.
And please don't start flaming my post with "THE GAME IZ COD WITH BUILDING, RIP OFF, COD SHIT", this is just my opinion.
If you want to talk, just quote my post, don't hate.
BTW, the reason why they are releasing players in several waves is because their servers are WAY overloaded, and letting EVERYONE into the servers would crash them. xD

well you kind of answered your own question right there didnt you?

The servers were (and I say were because they are not overloaded anymore) overloaded due to unprecedented traffic, they are currently spreading the channels around a larger number of servers, so that they can send more Beta invites without problems.

And the fact that the servers were overloaded is a good thing, it shows how popular this game is.

And those servers aren't small, this is a picture of the servers in North Carolina, USA: http://cdn.infernum.com/tumblr/Assets/D ... erRack.jpg

B-F = Game for Kids (Just like COD)
Ace of Spades = Game for cool people.

Personally I don't like that game style and visuals are horrible. I'd rather play Battlefield Heroes than this.

You can't exactly prove any of those, but I do agree for COD, however.

The game is made in Unity 3D, and yes, I know that the visuals are horrible, the game was made in Korea originally, so it DOES look a little bit kid-ish.

The current German makers are going to consider reworking some of the facial textures.

And what do you mean by "game-style"?

You mean gameplay or...?

@UNDERCOVER - one question: from what we can read outside the beta, there is no building/destroying and fighting at the same time. Is it true? If yes, then comparing BF to AoS is pointless, because they are two different type of games
AoS - build/destroy/fight game.
BF - fight only, with kid-friendly map editor.

And one aspect I'm not sure about: how big are maps exactly? in AoS it's 512x512x64, what about BF.

BTW. 100.000 registered players means nothing when you advertise game on facebook.

They're going to add destructible environment in a later update, but i'm not sure if you'll be able to add blocks during a battle, like in AoS.

B-F maps are 64x64x64, or something, I can't really recall their size, but the maps are small because the game is in Beta, they're still experimenting with bigger maps, but, according to a dev, when open Beta starts, the maps will be really huge.

This game actually concentrates more on building than fighting, it seems, since you can make maps on pretty much any smarthphone or tablet device, but you can't fight with other people via an iPhone or tablet, but support for that will be added.

[CalenLoki]

Destructible environment was shown in gameplay vid: you can destroy glass blocks.

Game as "game where you play against someone and can win", is only about fighting. Building (which is multi-platform, as advertised) is more of sandbox/editor than game.

Anyway - we'll see how it evolve.
I'd be happy not to see fanboy (both AoS and BF) comments here, like "xxxx is game for pussies"

[danhezee]

B-F is a different game all together. There is more than enough room in the voxel world for both games to succeed.
