Voted NO. I think we should be working on the current community and players rather then bringing in new maps to stretch out the servers even more thin. Been nice to see some new maps filling up over this weekend. examples are MOUT/PCR/Extraction.

Great news!! One of the main reasons why people kept leaving was because the boredom of Hospital, Pipe, or Bridge, i always see people talking about attract the old school players, im my opinion if you manage to get one or two servers full every night with maps like JRTC, SS, WO, RB, SR, HQ, MA, MP, WC_SE, players would definitly come, im not talking about 200 players, but it would make a difference.

That's not a valid argument. A lot of people play AA cauz it's very very very easy to install, and it doesn't take a lot of space. You don't want to be 'like other games' cauz AA is not gonna win this. It's popular because it's not like other games.

I voted no, because there are already a lot of maps that are never played. I have to wait 1 hour on a empty server with original map till someone joins. Hospital, bridge, pipeline, urban for the win, so i don't see what this is gonna bring to the game.

I'm with ya Froster but as you can see, others don't feel the same way so that's why the poll was made. Let the community decide. Course, it will get voted in and then people will come here and rage because they didn't bother to come here and know what was going on with this game.

1- A computer that don't have a free 250 MB is not functioning computer. No one talks in Mbs anymore since 2005. No one talks in Mbs anymore even when reffering to RAM. I've been too cheep to buy a new gaming computer since 2006 (!) and I still have tens of Gigabytes free.
2- I can understand raging when you add something like SAI and it has lots of bugs and critically affects your gameplay no matter where you play. But how can new maps possibly hurt your gameplay? If they are bugged- don't play on them, that's all.
I really fail to understand what there is to discuss or argue about.

It should be 'yes' or 'I don't care'. But nobody can say no, if you wanna add maps, go ahead, but they will probably not be played

Probably not BUT, ELiZ wanted a challenge and wanted to have some fun with converting the maps. Now that he's mostly done, I get to have fun and do what I do best. Really, it's not like we hate doing it, we like creating content. It's just more enjoyable when other people like that content :) It was a real fun challenge to make mAAp Pipeline. Nobody wants to play it? That sucks but I'll still work on it.

Yes, it's so great he is so involved. It's really cool to see such a smart guy devoting his time to such a niche project.

BTW, Hope his private business is going well.

Honestly if you can't handle others giving up their free time for the  :censored: of it, then go elsewhere. I don't understand why you have to be such a hater, give it up and get another life playing and hacking COD.

I think it's a great idea, leave the map selection to the users, if they populate then they populate. If they don't then oh well get over it. I'm sure at Mafioso that we can get some of these new maps populated, even with some of the mAAp maps we'll get those who don't know them, but after a while they're diggin it.

My thought with all these newer maps to 25, is the possibility to bring others who loved those maps, to us here at 25.

If you're going to sit there and talk shit about it and that we're going to die as a community, well do something about it, go advertise and help bring people back to the old school America's Army that many loved at one time. There's still quite a few who don't even know we exist! So do work, and stop being little anal  :censored:.

We're only here now because of this community, and speaking from a clan point of view who is still getting newer members each day approaching us, well I wouldn't exactly say we're dying, we're still thriving just slowly.

Yes one of the best things about this game is how many can play with very low resources, computers, laptops including don't exactly come with high specs for RAM and video card specs, but space is coming out of our ear, almost to a point, no one should have a problem with this little increase of space. I don't even think they make 250MB thumb drives anymore, that's so small and pointless now an days. Stop crying, it's just more options for gameplay at the cost of a very small amount of space.

I say continue on with your plans to expand this game, I'm sure those who leave, if any, will be replaced soon enough by more, loyal and true fans.  :cool:

True: it's not about the HD space - it's about the performance. AA3 maps are more complex (static meshes are more detailed, textures with higher resolution, sounds with higher quality etc.) and this will have direct impact on...
...Yes one of the best things about this game is how many can play with very low resources, computers, laptops including don't exactly come with high specs for RAM and video card specs...
...those people.
I not worried about me, my PC is one level up than Hi-End, but for most people even the middle-high end pc is beyond the reach.

If AA community want more maps, then there is many good Tactic-Ops UE2/2.5 based games - i.e. Rainbow 6 have very good maps - so why not convert these maps..? Same engine, same climate and very well balanced.
Besides, devs should publish AA2.5 editor and let the people be creative. Take example from UT community... Start new Contest thread with two Child Boards: Betas and Release. I assume that purpose of these two is known... At the end, only the best maps will be added to the official map-pack.

BTW: Shame - almost 5000 users and after 48 hours only 36 votes...
