Hello Folks,

We have made a new Instagram profile for 25Assist. (Credits to NOOBSLAYER)
Instagram is used by a lot of people nowadays and we want to try to advertise there. Follow the new instagram and try to reach your old friends to bring this game more alive :style:

https://www.instagram.com/americasarmy2?igsh=ODNrZ292OWw5cnN2

Also we have made a WhatsApp group. So if people want to play for the evening, you can write to the people in the WhatsApp group if they want to play. The link to WhatsApp can be found on the instagram profile.

Let’s keep the game alive! Hooah

I don't personally use Instagram but I think this is a good idea. Thanks for posting and thanks for advertising the game!

I don't think I've logged into this site since probably like 2013 but it's actually wild that you all have kept this going. Legends! I saw a video of my old map SF Office Assault and now I may just hop back in some games for the nostalgia!

Thanks to Hellboy, there's even a tracking system along with honor gaining feedback back to Assist!
(NOTE: We lost those after Battletracker went down a few years ago if that wasn't clear)

Yo I haven't see you around in a while! I know it's been forever because your signature has an xfire username and an imageshack link. lmao
The Thursday night game night is still very much a thing (previously started by iL and still put on by Dewman) and I hope to see you around there.

It definitely has been a minute! You were Killaman in the past correct? I'm pretty sure I remember your tigers logo haha. I think you, spanky and blueblaster were probably the first dudes I met around these parts back then. Looks like mAAp is pretty dead these days. Is anyone still trying to do any map editing? Stills blows me away this is all still here

Yep, Alex == KiLLaMaN.

And as far as I know, there's noone working on maps nowadays.

Yeah that's me. I got tired of the childish name. lol. Nobody is really doing any more map editing for AA but I have been doing level design stuff in Unreal 5 so the experience creating maps for AA in Unreal 2 didn't completely go to waste. :P

Great stuff, I've just followed the Instagram page. Looks like it's already gaining a bit of a following!  :style:
I would join the WhatsApp group, too. But I'm still living as if it were 20 years ago and don't have a smartphone. :oops: :cool: lol

Best regards,

Gunman

Can you also edit other stuff with UE2 like for example uniforms?

Yes. You might have noticed, but the uniforms in Assist are actually from AA 2.8 and were backported by Eliz to work on 2.5.

Yes i Noticed that. But it's converted from AA2.8 to 25assist right?

Correct. It was back ported from 2.8. The editor we have is actually only compatible with AA 2.4. So something like the random spawns on SF Dockside or SF Courtyard we can't maintain if we want to edit the map. We updated most maps just to increase the player count. The only actual map changes we have made are on SF Hospital and Pipeline. The Pipeline change was just a wall fix because previously you could fire off 203s through the  wall at defense spawn in main CP. The Hospital change has been more controversial but a poll at the time requested we remove the 203 from the SF guns. We added a few RPG slots to compensate.

True, the change in the hospital was very controversial!
And there were a couple of polls, and only the one that was shit was recognized!
Since the introduction of rpg, hospital has not been played for years as it used to be.
And what's more important, those who don't even play hospital voted.
And even more importantly, assist admins who don't play hospital changed it.(and originally proposed at the assist admin's own request, I don't know why, but I won't name which one was from the assist admin, he will recognize himself).

As he proposed, let him now return 203 ;)

I've played hospital a ton after the change. I would love to play with you in a server although I'm mainly available to playing during NA night times (so like GMT -6) so not great for Europeans. I do appreciate your feedback though, even if we don't always agree.

This is difficult given the obscurity of the editor as well as the difficulty in actually updaing the game with a new map. We used to have a lot more traction to do things like this but it's been many years since a map was edited. The challenges have been listed out here:
https://aao25.com/forum/general-chat-90/hospital-9683/
I'd be open to looking into it, but it'd be an uphill battle and we would need a new poll to see what the rest of the player base thinks.

Post by: General_alkos on Monday, July 29, 2024, 05:17:32 AM
It is not necessary to poll again,we can see from everything that it is better with 203 in the ten years since the map was changed.
And so far there have been so many unfair polls that there is no need for a new one :)
according to all indicators from the player to the playing of the hospital itself "screaming" return 203
