Well, Totalbiscuit made a WTF Is of it, and while that isn't a review (its a first impressions), he pretty much nailed the problem with it: Jetpack negates building. Without the building (or time to setup the building), its a rather plain voxel shooter, the animations haven't improved much, and theres not much else that seems to be notable in it.

Well, I got it. can't run on my computer though goddamn it

[Flying Dice]

The above, pretty much. The retail version follows the traditional Jagex model of "Take good idea, cock it up".

Why the hate guys? Have you read any reviews or played it and not liked it? (Not a rhetorical question)

I bought it and regret it.
I haven't yet found a server with less than 150 ping, which is unplayable in this game.

[Absolute Niro]

The fact that Rocketeers get a jetpack is so stupid and overpowered. Basically ruins the whole building aspect.

 ... Unless of course you build an underground base!

[Criptfeind]

Underground base? I saw TBs video, and although he is a pretty suspect source of information on games often, didn't he mention like. A time limit on rounds? Do you even have time to build a good base?

I dunno. If there is a time limit at all I think that is a bad idea. I recall the best memories of the first ace of spades was like on servers that have been running for at least a few hours. Because THAT is when the maps get interesting.

[Absolute Niro]

Yeah, I watched TB's video, that's really where most of my skepticism stems from. Underground bases are likely very difficult to get working.

I too played the original Ace of Spades and had a lot of fun with it, although it was pretty laggy on most servers and the client was horrible. Jagex doesn't honestly have a history of being great developers, especially with the addition of microtransactions that basically ruined the last bit of fun to be had in Runescape.

Well, I like how all of his complain are basically all the things Jagex added over the old AoS.

Don't fix what isn't broken, I guess. The whole class thing does feel really gimmicky.

Now, I must say, the drill cannon does look nifty. A wholly underground map with that (Just have contant airstrike on top or something to keep people underground) could be fun.
