Bang Howdy! Gets Public Beta Spittoon

bhowdy.jpg Good news, everybody! Three Rings, the creators of the excellent casual MMO Puzzle Pirates, have announced the public beta for Bang! Howdy, a multiplayer online tactical strategy game for the PC, in which "players face off in the steam-powered Wild West, using casual strategy game mechanics in a variety of gameplay modes."

The game, which has a Beta blog and is "a hybrid between turn-based and real-time strategy gameplay, and is played in short fast-paced rounds", looks very neat indeed - and it's going to be 'play for free, pay for items' when it launches, just like a whole bunch of Korean titles like Kart Rider that have been super-successful.

Also, damn, it's steampunk, and has a great press release quote: "We been diggin' away in the mines for a good long while and we can finally report that there's gold in them thar hills," said Michael Bayne, director of "Bang! Howdy" and Three Rings' CTO. "Hitch up yer wagons and get ready to ride, because yer not gonna want to miss out on all the fun."

i like bang howdy but i got banned by Dwyn waterfall

I need to upgrade my computer to tiger before I can play it. :(

It's a really fun game, you get to join or make your own gang, etc, but the only downside is that not enough people are playing at the moment.

How do u make a gang?

To create a gang, you need to have the Cowpoke badge (play 50 ranked games) and have the amount of money required. If you're in a gang, quit and it should ask if you'd like to make one of yer own. Click yes if you meet these requirements and get to it!

If everyone's waiting for boom town to be ready, IMAGINE when the city of gold will come out, or even ghost town.

how do u enter cheat codes or get free gold?
