Spanky, I have posted quite enough suggestions (download mirrors, website suggestions, banners exchange, affiliates, and so forth) to spread the word 3 times more than before LOL. But it is not about 1 person, it is about the community working together to spread the word. And at the end of the day, one has to think outside of the box.

By the way, out of the above, banners exchanges and/or affiliates listing is the easiest to get done and I did post the needed mod for that. It involves for Assist to discuss with other gaming community and/or clans and exchange banners. The clans/gaming communities showcase our Assist banner, while Assist showcase theirs.

Wouldn't you say that for the past few weeks, the numbers of players online almost reached that size?

In the end what kills the game is the lack of players which consequently leads people to play the same maps on the same servers. I saw that happening during the last months in 2011 before Auth. shutdown aswell.

Lack of feedback and lack of players using custom made maps sums up the situation. I personally still find the game entertaining to play, although by now it's harder to see the tactical (and teamwork) gameplay the game is supposed to be about, and most of the people plays a map without caring about objectives at all. Which is a shame considering that every map is a mission and such it is meant to be played (but today Call of Duty has a better feeling for most).

To make a simple comparison, n Unreal2004 in a mission mode like Onslaught you have to conquer path nodes in order to gain terrain and get to the enemy Main Core. That is a mission objective-like set too but designed so that you have to do your job along with others (and actually building path nodes with others fasten the process) in order to succed.
On AA2 such things do not exists so today the average gameplay aims more toward a Call of Duty Rambo shooting bullets in the air than what it should be (or either camping corners which again is dead stupid thing...you're supposed to play and not to investigate how interesting concrete is).

Hey now, this thread is starting to lack drama. Do I need to start banning some random users and start giving myself admin on servers?
