Adaptability seems to be the most stressing issue all-around, be it old-players struggling to adapt to a new tactical approach to the map or new-players not getting in tune with the game flow. However lacking as both sides may be it is important to make a distinction between old/pro/comp players and new-players; where the former should have acquired the knowledge & know-how to analyse and prioritise map-mapping and tactical diversity whereas the latter will undoubtedly feel its lack thereof.

It is then natural to conclude the degree of appetence for this game isn't quite universal and unanimous. Regardless of how good/badly a player performs, truth is, some will stand a higher chance where others will fall short. Some will have a full understanding of a map where others will barely get a draft of Ext/Helipad on SF Hospital --or any other map, for that matter-- and so on so forth.

Still, albeit this being common sense and knowledge to all who've contributed [positively or negatively] to this thread, no one's intent and care seems to be on understanding the depth of the above raised subject but rather on how the map shouldn't be untouched/how the map should stay true to the original/how this change gives advantage to players lacking in skill/how this change reveals old-player's inability to re-adapt/etc.

I'm not saying the points brought up so far aren't or shouldn't be acknowledged and of relevance; I'm just saying we should take a step back and look at the full picture for a little while. For instance, it is a fact that removing the G/203 will break the map's current balance --emphasis on the current-- though we'd all fall short for ignorance if we couldn't in the same fashion validate that balance is mostly a matter of choice-making. Most people choose to rush Helipad --often times ignoring by a great margin the existence and utility of Garage. Is Escort suffering too much at the hands of Ambush-Helipad-Rushers? Simple. Rush Garage, time your flashes, combine two/three-man teamwork, play effusive and repent solid gameplay. Even if this doesn't succeed in its entirety, it'll surely give Ambush more to think about so they'll know better than to blindly rush.

The old players I know, those that went from being new-comers to full-fledged competitive players [regardless of whether or not they were active within the competitive scene] would love the thrill of being confronted with newness, the ability to truly have their brains exceed in choice-making. It is important we don't forget --consciously-- that this is what kept AA alive over the years. It wasn't SF Hospital, Bridge, Urban or Pipeline. It was the fact that you had more people defying habits, you had more people re-routing their tactical approach to a certain map...and that made you think more, made you calculate more, made you interact more. That's the beauty in it all.

No other FPS that I've played ever offered me such a profound tactical element as AA has. I am of the opinion our efforts, as a community, should be precisely akin to the revival of the thrill in AA mores than the infamous yet understandable desire to keep AA as it was although the aforementioned is nearly impossible. Things have changed, times have changed, we should too.

Apologies for the long read.
My two scents. Inoffensive, too.

I'm....Wow. I'm impressed, and honestly glad you've taken this action. And to everyone who cries about this, if you can't handle playing hospital without the 203 you're terrible and should uninstall the game at a moments notice. Haven't really read all the comments as I'm in a hurry but I can see no negative about this other than that people might camp a little more at first, which is a win-win for players like me who likes hunting down campers. This will only be good for the community though, so kudos to the admins for listening to reason. And to HT, and every other hospital one hit wonder clan;  I have been waiting to tell you this for SUCH a long time IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, PLAY SOMETHING ELSE

Couldn't agree more.

Downside about this is, when the vote comes, it will go back to the way it was. People wants their easy kills, they want their comfort style like the way it always was. They'd rather stop playing the map than having it changed in such a HUUUUGE manner. Like I said before, you cannot listen to this community when it comes to what's best for Assist as a game, period. This community is retarded, mark my words.

Lol look at all these cry babies crawling out of woodwork like roaches.
Sure 203 is a easy ass kill. Not even 2 days and everyone already crying a out this test. I say get rid of 203 all together and be done with it. U will always having someone crying up any type of improvements to this game
but do these cry babies help assist  Any way I'll answer NO

btw pit how would u know u dont play no more lol.

136 playing, plz dont tell me disabling 203 was a bad option you are really stupid jammax, oh god, i try not to talk to u because you never understand a thing what is good for AA, its present not past...old days were past, look bright...

 oooooooooooooooh, assist pussy admins got scared and deleting posts
deleting TRUTH
you scared of TRUTH you admin-babies

"One hit wonder clan". Thats funny, cause you lost every single time you played vs HT Arsch or whatever you name is Oldschool pro.

Remove all the weapons, I dont care. But it should be on the server admin to decide how the map should be played. With or without 203's. Right Bart? Beta tester for the White house

Fuk server admins, they ruin the game enough already

Kari i wish I could tell you I know what you're talking about, because other than in assist, and whilst I was in Mortiferus, I can't really say I played you or anyone in your clan in any competitive match, I guess we were on diffrent levels and leauges. This is a good call, and it will do people good playing this map without 203, and even better if they get so pissed that they actually swap their servers to another map, so win-win. Good job eliz & co.
