Build and Shoot

I remember that, many years ago, I had fun in this game.
Before jagex came in, this was a really fun game. I remember playing CTF. CTF! I don't see this anymore in AoS or BnS. We had a much bigger freedom in what or how do things. We could build towers and bridges, dig tunnels, camuflage a sniper spot! We had more dimensions to face. Now is only up, babel. Building towers is fun, but I miss the strategy, the stealth, the challenge, the rush, of stealing the intel. We had all this things to face with, enemy tunnel, ambushes, and a huge map til safety and secure the intel.

This is one of the reasons most of the old community had left. Also because of no further development. Some have changed their total attention to other games, LastofAce is now on Tribes Ascend for e.g., Simon might had moved back to Killing Floor. Others realised they just need to grow up, or lost all their hope in this.

I know these days will most likely never come back, but I wanted to share this thought with you.

I was never an active forum member, infact I believe this is my 1st post. But this account is quite old.

All I wanted with this post is to see if there is anyone that shares the same opinion with me, or counter offensives me. Either way I fell much lighter because I've kept this thing in my mind for a long time. Maybe this will enlight some minds to come back to what it used to :D

most of the forum agrees with your assessment. we just can't seem to convince the people on servers to change.
(99% of the in game community is not on the forums btw)
on the plus side, push is pretty popular.

I agree with both posts ! i miss the old AOS days aswell.

being part of the actual testing via IRC. I remember that one youtube video about that deployable heavy machine gun video before jagex took over. The build and Shoot community needs a leader that is actually in charge of a game. I'm really gratefull for the community leaders like Izzy ect for keeping build and shoot alive. But we need some serious directions. Right now we have been standing at this crossroad for years.

Some hard decisions need to be made, And what decision it might be it will have a short negative outburst. But in the long run we will profit from it.

We need one game that can be developed on without jagex Interference, I think the openspades client is a good succesor for it. But it needs further developement, and in the long run opensource closed.

I agree with the current server map loadouts are not to speak off. Only hallway on 4 bloody servers and that bridgewars/counterstrike mode. We need versatile gameplay i miss the gamemode TUG (Tug Of War)

ever heard of ad revenue yeah that's the only reason this site is still up and why mods poke their face in here once a month.
Essentially everything that starts with 'we need to' or 'its time to' can be answered with 'no because noone gives a shit' for the 892841239751397th time

because it's a crime to like another game and I mean actual finished game

been around this long and still didn't see the hundreds of threads on this same topic that start and end the same way

You have a mental breakdown ?

I don't see how relevant is this right now. Also my name is not Reuben, I came up with the name Ruaben way before I knew there was a similar English name(not all 8 years old knows English) and kept using the same name ever since.

I do not disagree with this. It's better stick with a game that is actually finished and fun. What I meant by that is that some people that had much influence in the developement and community of the old AoS have now vanished, leaving no one with the same legacy behind.

I have to say that quite some thing have been tried (and I do know what I'm talking about). Sadly, the interest is too low, despite the opposite impression coming from all these "we have to ..." demands.

Because most people prefer to sit back and be the always-correct critic than to do it themselves. The ratio of people who came and said "this thing here sucks but do what I said and it'll be great" and then left, to those that actually engaged in solving something is astounding.

However, there's no reason to complain about these people, if one won't have success the other way. Even IceBall is struggling, because nobody plays it. If every single guy complaining about AoS did an own game or something, BnS would be spammed by tons of dead projects.

To make projects like these, not only you must have to knowledge to do it(obviously), but you also need people's support and/or attention.
Why create a game, or simply a server, if no one plays it?

Hey Ruaben, why dont you shut your whore mouth? Let him do him

I see. There is no much room for discussion in this forum.
I shall do as you say, and as he said earlier , I'll now just disappear. But I'll not because of him that pissed me off(because he didn't, he actually used some legit arguments), but because of you and the position you stand in this community(and the 1st bad impression you gave).

Peace.

Peace. Sorry to see you go.

+1 MrFritz

Pff this is exactly the reason why the build and shoot community is falling apart.. Bunch of kids being rude to another poster for a open discussion.

Keep on going folks it really helps the community... .. MrFritsz/Noobofspades.

I wont bother anymore either. It's a dead end.
