ELiZ has been hard at work flexing his skills to see if he can convert AA3 maps to 2.5. I must say, he's doing a damn good job and isn't too far from being done. Because of this, I thought I'd start some discussion on the remaining issues and perhaps to get some feedback on how to release this work.
The first thing you should do is vote in this thread's poll. I'm betting most people would like to see the AA3 maps but the downside is that currently, it would be at least a 250MB download. That does not include sounds which have yet to be worked on. If you vote no, please be sure to tell us why.
Assuming you would like to see these maps, I would like to see if people would like the maps converted as-is or if there's bugs that you would vote to be fixed. Perhaps there's a balancing issue or an area that shouldn't be accessed? Also, in AA3, many things were changed at the engine level and some stuff will have to be created by hand. 2 things I can think of will be the skybox and weather. We will need people to post screenshots on fog color/range as well as any other weather effects. What lighting should the level have? What kind of feel? Where should the spawnpoints be and what weapons should they have? What are the reportin locations? All of this stuff is up for discussion and can be changed as long as most players agree with it and it's tested.
So, have at it!
*EDIT*
Here's a video of the current gameplay:
