To end on a more positive note, Build And Shoot is being built per the suggestions by the community as the focus is on improving the game experience without modifying the client. Objectives planned and already reached were to create an independent community, master server and game server. With that out of the way, the Build And Shoot team are working on “Ace Servers” which come with added functionality and protection. In the near future they’ll be releasing versions which contain better ways to interact with friends with a “friend system”, have new game modes and in-game functionality, and they’ll of course be continuing to host their official and user-driven events that made Ace of Spades so popular in the first place. They do all this while being aware of intellectual property rights and are trying their best to respect them.This is a paragraph from the Indie Statik article on BnS. It says that there will be a version with a friend system. If this is true, I can't wait! It also talks about new gamemodes and in-game funcionality. What do you guys think?
