Hi guys,

Has anyone seen this FPS that uses augmented reality on your phone to allow you to fight battles in real life, using GPS tracking and location-awareness to alert you to friends and foe in your vicinity for you to team up with or take down as appropriate:

https://queueat.com/tracking?campaign_url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.father.io%2F%3Freferral%3D274fc587%26src%3Dreferral%26utm_source%3Dqueueat.com%26utm_medium%3Dreferral%26utm_campaign%3D274fc587

Looks like a more fun version of Ingress.

They're taking pre-registrations at the moment and the launch is said to be imminent. :)

Looks fun, but I can't help thinking that behaving like that in any city or large town would get you SWATted pretty quick.

Yeah, that was my first thought, but then I thought "what the hell, it looks like fun!"

Looks fun, signed up to see how quickly we get arrested or taken away by men in white coats!

Now this would be a great app for glass. Shame they've shelved it for now.

You can buy the attachment now, not sure about this yet. It really depends on how many people play it worldwide.
