i've tried it. it's great lol. And works very nicely, but it's a free for all, with no objectives (at least not so far)

Is it available on PC/Windows? I have been out of the recent gaming news these days.

It's ONLY available on PC. It's a non-official patch or mod. Here's the site: http://www.jc-mp.com/
Try it It's really easy to install.
Quick note: If, like me, you have the game on Steam, and the mod launcher doesn't seem to do anything, it may be because you usually launch Steam as Administrator, so you need to launch the mod as administrator as well, and it will work nicely.


Oh wow. I thought it was a console only. I will have to check it out whenever I get free time (that's a problem these days). I hope it runs well on my old PC with ATI Radeon 4870 video card (512 MB of RAM), Windows XP Pro. SP3, etc.

I can't believe they went through all that trouble and didn't think to do something about the noise from the ball launchers. Kinda ruins the whole thing.

you really shouldn't be hitting <Q> and <E> when trying to aim with a bow, mini guns or rocket launchers are fine though.

I don't mind if a game is simular to another game or only a slight tweak , I just find it annoying when one is fincaily rewarded massively over another one when the other game accentually put the ground work down.

In the case of notch at least he admitted it was largely taken from fotress craft but the same would apply I would hope that the origonaters of an IP get rewarded fincaily to a fair extent.

my piont about changing the art work over is that focuses things on the game play and physics , if you were to come up with a bullshit % chart of how close one game is to another , I think angry birds would be very close to crush the castle be like 5% difference in game mechanics and that being only the launcher , its a bit like me taking doom replacing the guns and all the textures but keeping all the other mechanics and level designs exactly the same , where as a game that innovates properly would change the guns the ai the levels and the textures.

as I say I don't think things should be automaticly blocked or copping something largely is inherently a bad thing , the aspect I dislike is the lack of fair reinbursment and the lack of things being attributed properly , its like when you write an essay if you incoperate someone else's work into your work you attribute them.

saying that I bet ethical Developers probably don't attribute because if they did they would probably get sued for copyright infringement.

there are plenty of Games where I have enjoyed copying unreal toruniment - from quake 3 , mashed - from micro machines , worms from - original tank game. peggel from pachinko , plants v zombies form desctop tower defense.

in most of those examples sugnificant changes were made , more so than crush the castle to angry birds.

looking at plants v zombies as a good example of what I dislike you can have a very large company that has the resources to exploit a game more than the small developer and then they accentually steal the potential for that small developer to develop an IP to fruition. unlike back in the 80s when developers could come up with a new IP or mechanic typ and then gradualy develop it and build in size whalst coming up with new IP.

oh well i will stop blathering on , we probably agree on most things anyway.

Put it this way , if you replaced all the art work in crush the castle with angry birds most people would think it was angry birds.
... with catapults.

I'm just saying that if you put them side by side, the gameplay is different enough for me that I can prefer one over the other, as the catapult adds a timing aspect. The graphics are secondary for me, and not the core of what makes a particular game.
Yes, the targets were a rip-off. Would you be satisfied if the makers of Angry Birds recognized Crush the Castle in the same way Notch recognized Infiniminer, which he totally ripped off and made a mint? What about Fortresscraft, which is a huge ripoff of Minecraft? Who's at fault if one's game isn't popular enough to make lots of money? Gameplay, marketing, luck, timing and just the intent of the developer all play a part, and any one of them can sink an otherwise quality title. Crush the Castle is free to play online and only 99￠ on Android. How much money have you given the developers?

Now Imagine an arsenal of a GAU-8 cannon, 2, 50 cal's, rocket launchers, flame thrower. and anything else the military will attach to the damn thing. Look out Wall Street!

AK 47 is a relatively weak rifle to test it with. Compared to a 7.62 NATO which is far more common in the United States it has a maximum 1260 ft-lbf of energy at the muzzle to the NATO 7.62's 2500-3000. And 7.62 NATO is not a heavy load either. A .50 cal BMG (as someone suggested) has 11,000 - 13,000, ten times the 7.62 Russian's energy.


what? i have no idea where you would be using this glass, but i can guarantee you that an AK47 is likely the most powerful HANDHELD firearm you're going to be facing next to an RPG launcher or something. everyone from detroit gangbangers to iraqi insurgents to rebels in the congo have AK47s. the next step up for most of those guys is likely a .50 cal mounted machine gun, and at that point you're boned regardless of your GLASS, because that shit can go through relatively thick STEEL.

You're right -- I can't imagine. I thought it was amusing, but those who like it? They are passionate!

My favorite bit is the bamboo ... rocket launcher? Bazooka? That cracks me up.

Took forever to sift -- glad it is now in the light of day, due to your SILVERNESS!!!!!!

You would not imagine how many times I've watched this video, it gets me every time (my best friend became a fan too, and now we'll occasionally exchange an "action packed-eh movie!" and "movie movie!" to the bewilderment of our entourage )

I remember playing over a 56k modem with a friend from school and using the football field level and those rocket launchers, hahahah brought back memories.

I agree with everything. Also, I need to point out that 99%of movie explosions are bullshit. Explosions do not have gigantic fireballs. I was fucking SHOCKED to find out Bad Boys 2 was a Bay film, specifically because the explosions (at the end, in Cuba) were so realistic. No giant flames. Just an explosive force demolishing shit. I'm mainly talking about the part where Will Smith shoots the guard post with the AT-4 rocket launcher. >> ^Jinx:

Actuaaallllly I really liked the way Firefly was shot. And that part of the movie where they rush the blockade with all those Reaver ships on their tale was class.
DON'T SUGGEST JOSS HAS ANY FLAWS AGAIN.
ps. Does anybody else find movie explosions terribly underwhelming? Oh, they set fire to some gasoline again. yawn. How about some actual shockwaves Hollywood, how about making explosions that look like they take people lives, not just eyebrows. Thx.

Maybe it did land in an upside down silent/stealth lawnmower!

They have grenade launchers and rifles. Geez, you'd think they would know how to secure a discount.
