So I was playing the CB here, right? Essentially Brick Force is like Minecraft, except it has two different phases - You build the map either by yourself or with others, than you register it to their database so others can play it. Pretty streamlined.
So I got my key today, went ingame, and the maps are godawful. So I tell myself "Hey, I have gameplay experience from designing Halo CE maps, I got this!" So I make my own little 'room', you could say, on the build channel. I put so much excruciating detail, I tell you. I wasn't done with 3% of it because of that when someone popped in and asked if they could help. I said "cool" and he helped. Then another came, and then another. At this point we have 4 people working on this map, making buildings and pounding in detail.
And damn, did it look good too. The last one came in and made this awesome fountain that contributed to the feel of the map a lot. Then as I finished off one team's base (the project I'd been working on for the better part of 2 hours) 'FATAL ERROR -Dg'
My game froze. And I hadn't saved since when I was halfway through. Building is a pain in the butt, and they even make you pay to use certain objects for some reason. The multiplayer is okay, but the aforementioned lack of any good maps makes gameplay sniper-oriented and trying to get a high score painful. In this way I don't believe the game is worth anyone's time and would strongly disrecommend anyone here playing it.
