Well, it would be like changing a pizza you've ordered. Sure, you can add salt, pepper, hell even ham if you like, but the main part will still be the same.

Yep. I used to be part of aa  community in the past when I was a nolifer, helped with anticheat things etc, and got to know some private hack coders who never released their hacks to public, and learned a thing or couple about unreal engine coding, rendering changes, server side and client side modifications. Nowadays I dont remember much but still remember pretty much that what is and what could maybe be possible to change.

Unreal engine is pretty much as flexible as you said :)

How about staff staying with the rules they make.

Words are great possed but the tune is crap. A condeming fear strikes down
Things they cannot understand. An excuse to cover up weaknesses that lie within Lies
Laying your guilt and pain. On people that had no part in the molding of a life
That creates its destruction. Lies. Right before your very eyes
A reflection of the mistakes. To the end you will deny. Your part in the demise of a life
Lack of comprehension. Thriving on your cliche. Compelled by self-resentment
Reaching into the minds of those that created. The depression in which they
In which they drowned their flesh and blood. Lies. So easy to blame the
Everlasting fear on a pathetic attempt. To justify the ending of life. Lies
Right before your very eyes. A reflection of the mistakes. To the end you will deny
Your part in the demise of a life
Lack of comprehension. Thriving on your cliche. Compelled by self-resentment

They have ... believe me, just ask. Biggest problem here is the trust ... Moreover, this community is not in position to negotiate - sometimes you need to take the risk.
In case to speed up the process, here is the quote from BU of the rules of recruitment - how to ask.

You have to convince those people that your mod team is worth joining and putting time and work in. You have to assume that the more experienced a mod maker is, the less receptive he or she will be for an unprofessional recruitment posting.

Some articles you should read before posting here:
Unreal Wiki: How to Recruit a Programmer (also covers general items on recruitment posts)
Unreal Wiki: Mod Startups (a general view on recruiting people for a mod)

So to get back to the topic:

- Have you tried to contact and come to an understanding with the original creators of AA. AA was always a free game so perhaps they are willing to give a free pass to keep this game alive. If so advertising would be a lot easier. I know there is an ('illegal') version of GTA San Andreas multiplayer which is huge. Rockstar doesn't really like it though (due to mods etc) but they did not shut it down.

- Have you tried to create a general fanbase using social media without advertising this site. By creating a general fanbase, people might start to search for a version of AA 2.5 which would lead them to this.

- Who of the players is active on other game forums? What you can do to advertise this game very subtile is by using AA 2.5 signatures / banners / avatars in those accounts. Most young players won't know what game it is and might start looking for it out of curiosity. And some older players might see it and think: "Good old times, I want to play it again".

Trust me admins have tried a lot of things to improve the playerbase

100% true.

At one point they even installed Trojan in the assist client to hunt the cheaters, so that the playerbase can improve. No idea though if this succeeded.

But to alter this game gameplay (better AI, vehicles even interaction ...) you can simply extend its base code.

Good idea. Now you can stand up and start writing the code.
