what version of aao did you start playing?

alirght, so i tried aao out in v1.5, but i was dial up, and by dial up, i dont even mean 56k...was like 20-something on a good day, when internet first started reachin people in the country...

anyways, pretty sure i got owned or somethin, and quit playin like first time...lol, so 1.5 doesnt really count

I started actually playing in v1.7, and by this time i had full 56k, i was tearing it up (when grandma didnt need the phone).... been hooked for long time since..eventually got dsl and played twl n cal, best gaming days ever... but after 2.6 i didnt play as much, and eventually quit for like a year or somethin... came back, 3.0 sucked and 2.8.5 was still somewhat aliveand you know the rest...

n here i am today ;D

Started about the time the Version went from 2.3 to 2.4, was on dial up until V2.7 came out. I have played all version's over the years and have most of them downloaded so if anyone ever want's a game old school.

2.3 without honor for three years or so, now 2.5 for prolly going on four. Joined Ak4 in January 09 after like eight months in SwAT in 2.5.

i don't even remember. started playing 2.3 on my mac, then realized that 2.5 was available still, then started playing that as well. 2.3 died out and i started playing 2.5. never played 2.8.5 before.

started 1.9.. 2.3 was the best and quit after aa3 came out. now it seems like 2.5 is trying to make a comeback.. Miss playing AA without all the drama. i appreciate what aao25 has done for the revival of an older AA2 version. THANK YOU.

I started in 2.8.3, back in spring 2008. I played some time, quitted for almost a year, came back in 2009, at the end of 2010 work drew me back from AA, and i came back in mid-early 2011.

I still remember the first time i've played, i was impressed by the amount of players and the gameplay skills (it was a Bridge Crossing public server i think).

6-7+ years... wow.

I started on 2.3 because I saw a TV advertisement for a free Army hat, they said go to the website and ask for some information. I did. I was excited to receive the free hat but it never came, instead a stupid CD with a game I couldn't play because my Pentium 3 computer at the time didn't have internet. So, I sat on the CD for a while until I got use of the internet on a DSL connection, popped it in and met a few people. I swear the first person I met was Crusade... Me and another guy were trying out to be in his clan {SA} Shadow's Alliance. Course, he was hacking at the time but it was 2v1 and we took him a couple of rounds. I think I lost contact with Crusade for a little bit there then met Jared and v2.6 came out at about that time and we went there to hack. So yea, I probably came around when v2.5 had just came out but I had an old CD and was on v2.3.

I should write a book about this huh.

the 1.x days were pretty epic, no medic, no bleeding and crazy bugs... like i remeber there was a point on doors that nades could be thrown through...but it was more like 50-50 shot, so ppl who tried it some times succeeded, other times the nade bounched back off the door and killed em... thats when they were first making doors able to shoot through... and ill never forget the bug where you couldnt use teammates guns, they just wouldnt fire lol... kinda miss the 1.7-1.9 days, before sf was even thought of.

It's kinda sad that I never got to enjoy any of that. The fists weapon was pretty cool too from v1. I downloaded it a while back just to try it and it was so fail but it's amazing that Pipeline never really changed from v1 to v2.8.5.

sf mod is ruining the servers nowadays - just like in the dying breaths of 2.3. Seriously, the only US servers I see have people in them other than spanky's server are the HeadHunters one on IC with SF mod and the GOW serv with SF mod. It really grinds my gears when people think they're good because they can play IC with SF mod.

meh. I had a 2.4 CD, I don't remember how I got it. Played it a bit and then stopped for almost a year. Found it again and updated to 2.5. Not much of a story.

Launch a server of your own then

I like SF mod but I know a lot of other people don't so I try to setup my server to appeal to the masses. The only exception is that it's mAAp only.
