but stopping with tracking means stopping aa2. that's for sure.

Wow, so people don't play the game for the game?

If there's something I never cared about it's this tracker thingy, the only benefit it had was the ability to see friends online. I see so many people with godlike fragrates getting totally annihilated in matches. It doesn't matter.

yes, i am sure.
watch back to the time when auth went down.
you had three possibilities to do
1. stop playing (most did so)
2. still playing the game on version 2.8.5 (some players switched to 2.5, most left)
3. playing new aa25assist on 2.5 (now you have on a crowded evening about 200 players, without a growing up)

so, imagine what will happend when you stop tracking? any idea

and with the new 2.8.5 - without linux and mac players, guess 30-50 players less of that 200.

i mean i miss something that would blow up the players to 1000 per night, but i have no idea too

but for sure not stoping the tracker..

Someone should assault the Pentagon naked with a Banana in his Hand and Obamas Face painted on his Butt and shout "I PLAYED AMERICAS ARMY 2.5 FOR TOO LONG.NOW I GOT INSANE IN THE BRAIN AND ALL GIRLS WANT ME AND I GONNAGET VERY RICH AND BEAUTIFUL AND FAMOUS" and a CNN Team should film that.

That would help for sure :-)

I've given it some thought, and come to the conclusion that, to make 285Assist work with Battletracker.com we have to do this......

Nothing..

Since It is the Assist server that handles the Gamespy queries, not AA itself. We can let the Assist Server happily report that it's a 2.5.0 Server to Gamespy, rather than the 2.8.5 it really is.

In my testing, almost the first thing I did, was to modify the GS query to state it was a 2.8.5 server, I will from this moment just report it as a 2.5.0 server.

That's disappointing that you decided to go that route. Tracking brings idiots to the game and even if tracking were good, BT is a horrible way to do it.

The game doesn't have enough players to be able to afford losing the stat whores.
