played it, love it.
I can only play goalie good though.
Also, does anyone else have trouble registering an account?

Yeah, one of the most fast paced games i've ever played. Getting really good at boost/hooking and getting my paths down. My record is a score of 84 pts in the goal as a forward. Hanging around all the public servers. Usually FD/HB.
There seems to be a lot of servers up.

Well, I was playing it within the first few hours of it being released and there were little to no servers that had open slots. 
It is a very challenging game that might take a while to be a pro at. And the lagging is a very bad problem. :facewall:

Werid, I find it to be one of the most fast paced heart racing games ive played, gives you the same feeling as real sports. Once you get fluid at grappling and boosting right you never touch the ground and can rip through the level. So much fun.
Old School Video General Game Review of smashball
General Overview:
This mod is free requiring HL:2. It is a violent sports game (most similar to Rugby + La Cross). The match consists of 6, 3-minute rounds There is a single ball that each team tries to run or shot into the opponent's goal. Run is act of a player possessing the ball going into the opponent's goal. A shot is when a player shoots the ball from outside the goal into the opponent's goal. Runs are worth 7 points, shots 3. The team with the most points at the end of regulation is the winner. In the event of a tie. One sudden Death match is played lasting 3 minutes. If still tied... well I've never had that happen :E.
There are 4 different positions: Forward (FD), Halfback (HB), Fullback (FB), and Goalie (GO). Each team is allowed one goalie and unlimited amounts of other . Forwards are the quickest and most fragile, Halfbacks are more offensive sturdier but slower Forwards. Fullbacks are defensive and strong but slow. The Goalie isn't that mobile and tends the goal. He is very strong and is really hard to take down.
OSVG's Pros and Cons
Neutral:
Very fast past easily 3x as fast as TF2. May or may not appeal to certain people
Pros:
Unique FPS Sports game.
Plenty of servers (many more than initial launch)
-Although currently bugged, you will earn xp and stats are recorded
A tutorial to give a basic feel for game mechanics
Cons:
Not noob friendly (b/c of this newbies tend to not get the ball)
Buggy (Some random lag issues and crashes) Smashball is still technically considered a beta.
Team stacking occurs frequently
Some weapons spammed get very annoying
There are other things I'm failing to cover but yeah it's just a general review not really in depth.
OSVG's BIAS score: 9.478 / 10
Smashball = TF2 to me fun wise
OSVG's objective score 6.75 / 10
This game has flaws and bugs. It is still in the beta; however, there is promise and it's a truely unique game.
