Smashball Beta Release

Postby Blink on Wed Dec 17, 2008 10:37 pm

A new mod on the scene known as Smashball has just released a Beta for everyone to check out:

Smashball is a fast-paced, ultraviolent first-person sports shooter. Two teams use superhuman maneuvers, a real-physics grappling hook, and high-powered weaponry to try to get a single ball into their opponent’s goal.


Check out the Smashball website for details on how to get playing.

Ultraviolent? Not just violent, not even super-violent, nay, not even the forces of mega-violence could stop this because it's ULTRAVIOLET ULTRAVIOLENT. (Seriously I can't wait for them to make that mistake :-D

It does look like it could be fun, might even beat Griffball.

Hey guys! Thanks for trying out Smashball, I'm glad you're enjoying it! I just wanted to drop a couple of quick notes:

We have a little promotional video up on YouTube:

What parts did you find confusing? There is a lot going on, but we tried to make it as clear as possible. Some pages have a lot of content, but that's because they have to, like our match results page:
