Advertising AA2.5
« on: Wednesday, March 07, 2012, 17:40:15 PM »
Hey all

I am sure some have already suggested that, but didn't find any thread about advertising AA2.5, so here it is.

Personally I like AA3, however I also love the AA2 game. And I am happy that there is a community continuing to support AA2. I do think it would be worth to explore advertising possibilities and ways to get more players in here. So here are a few ideas:

-Mac and Linux Players. From what I can tell, Mac and Linux players don't have as many nor as good FPS as PC gamers and as such AA2.5 would still be very attractive to them.
-PC gamers unable to upgrade their computers for AA3 or not interested in playing AA3 or AA2.8.5
-ads in gaming community forums
-paid ads on gaming sites such as mpogd.com and/or mmorpg.com
-word of mouth

As far as i am aware, every buck that comes from donations goes straight into the running costs for the Assist authentication server.

Anyway everyone having a blog, a website or a forum with freedom of choice regarding banner advertising links could virtually contribute.

I also believe there's a matter of using the Assist logo strictly, as every part of the 2.5 game client including logos and the name itself falls into the specific Terms of Use that you accept when installing AA 2.5 . But it's just my opinion.

P.s. also, i understand your point about performance regarding older hardware. But i'd rather throw an advertising pointing out the best points that AA still has to offer (e.g. free to play, tactical gameplay, ability to run your own home server, custom maps availability, etc).

The community advertising for players is definitely what is going to work the best
But in addition to that, I think it would be great to get AA25Assist listed on Mac and Linux gaming sites. A few Mac sites that I found on google:

mpogd.com
http://www.macgamestore.com
http://www.deliver2mac.com/
http://download.cnet.com/mac/games/2001-2012_4-0.html
http://www.macgames.info

I will try and submit the game to a few of those

Just submitted to http://www.fpsguru.com/forum/thread/9322

Hey avguste, we do a lot of work to keep 2.5 alive and fresh with content & bug fixes. You seem to know a lot about where to advertise, why don't you do it? :) It would help us out and it would be your contribution to the whole project. I'm sure we could give you a special icon in-game to show that you've helped out.

Might look bigger, but it aint.....

LOL. I can definitely help with advertising.
I am also thinking about bringing my unit in AA2.5. I am the commanding officer for 3rd Brigade, 82nd Airborne, United Sim Army Teams. We have been supporting AA for many, many years.

Talking to my commanding officer about that. We will host our AA2.5 server and do a test run before we decide whether to jump in fully or not.

I just posted a request on the Raptr forum for AA2.5 to be added and tracked
http://raptr.com/forums/showthread.php?t=19083

If you can, it would be great if you would post your support on that thread as well.

I don't feel like registering an account there but you may want to tell them that the files are located here:
ANSWER WINDOWS XP: C:\Documents and settings\USERNAME\Application Data\25Assist\
ANSWER WINDOWS VISTA/7: C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\25Assist\

and the ArmyOps.exe for the game is here:
ANSWER WINDOWS XP: C:\Documents and settings\USERNAME\Application Data\25Assist\armyops\system\ArmyOps.exe
ANSWER WINDOWS VISTA/7: C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\25Assist\armyops\system\ArmyOps.exe

Done.
One thing that will help I think is having Battletracker show the AA2.5 banner on their site or something.

I also just posted at http://www.macgamestore.com/forum/index.php?/topic/2063-americas-army-25-for-mac/

Talk to Homey. Find his house and ring his doorbell if you can, he almost never responds to anything else.
