Maybe AAO25.com servers can adjust the maplist to include only official army maps?
It's a frequent complaint - especially amongst new players - who are sorely disappointed when they won't get the original AA experience they are looking for. You have a full server, and then suddenly you are thrown into a poorly performing, primitive looking custom map...

The original AA experience died since the start of assist... they decide now.

Thank you for the positive message.
If you don't like what Assist has done, you can either do it better or not participate.

What would remain of the original AA experience if not for Assist? Grainy 360p YouTube videos with no ability to actually play the game?.
Custom maps existed when the army ran the game, as did the ability for server owners / admins to swap to them. Seems to me the most notable difference is accessibility seeing as several custom maps ship with the game so players have the option to stay or leave (as opposed to not being able to load in at all) should the server switch to a custom map.
Finally, the game released 22 years ago now (or thereabouts?). It's no surprise that returning players would want to play the maps they are most familiar with. Conversely, it comes as no surprise that some players who have stuck around may prefer some variety. Rather than advocating for the removal of choice, I would suggest taking initiative and trying to seed one of the many empty servers on a 'classic' map or firing up a server where you can control the map choice. (If memory serves you have a Pipeline exclusive server, anyhow).
As for poorly performing, I mean.. it's 2024 and the game runs well (arguably too well) on modern hardware. Most maps will perform fine on integrated graphics which can't be said for most 3d games of today.

well it's NOT THE SAME as "ORIGINAL AA". and that's MY opinion...
I can agree you ASSIST-admin do not agree...
I contribute ( with servers, teamspeak,even this website since I knew about it) to this game since 2004 because I love the game. Not the way it's managed... and that's also an opinion. :up: :banned:

Original servers are 4 minute rounds... where did you start? at 7 minutes on mout mckenna?
so I totally understand and agree on Leopardi's question.
