It's pretty much obvious that at this time most of the mAAp maps and many of the official maps aren't played nearly anymore. While it doesn't take off the gameplay itself, it surely takes off of variety. And lack of variety is what ultimately drives to boredom. It's much healthier to have a certain amount of players that play different maps than a handful of those that will only jump on a single map which they're terribly fond of, because the former will most likely keep on playing even if their favorite map is not available (and in the end that is the key to have a good average amount of players during the day).

So, considering that there are some worthy maps (mAAp Pipeline, Breakout, Rummage, Sandstorm, JRTC Farm Raid, etc) that aren't played at all, i think there might be some things that could be done to improve the variety, by promoting those against the majority of the few that gets over-regularly played every single day.

Among the first things that might be effective, hitting hardcore as much as newer players, might be points assignment: we can decide the amount of points assigned for each map and especially for each objective, so we could easily increase the amount of points given once completing a round successfully (not just by standing idle) in those maps. Of course the difference shouldn't higher than about 30% to 40% in comparison to others maps, to give a premium but not to create a huge inequality.

Some other ideas might be assigning badges or achievements in a Steam way, which already was a feature of the former America's army profile when the website was still online (the Jacket).

Any other ideas you'd throw in?

organizing a Mix like TNF or Chickens Farm Mix it's the best way IMO, ppl on AA dont care about such things( thats whats  I think) so we'd better schedule games on those unplayed maps , TS3 or any other VOIP tool would NOT be a requirement to play in those games.

2nd: if server owners/admins enable map rotation players will ALWAYS face a new map, in 'every' server, but that's Hard lol, if pit could DENY most of the servers from the Auth
I've been playing COD (2, 4 and MW3) and on Cod only a few servers keep running the same Map, most of the servers use map rotation.

I got a new UK server and TS3 server with enough slots to do a ONC like there used to be. I was thinking something like every Monday or any other day make a competition for EU players with like 6 maps each week, and the winner on that week would be carrying a in game icon during the remain days till the next event. Of course i will need some help for this, a site would also be awesome, just like the old -> http://www.onenightcup.net/

You could play as a clan or a mix of friends or even those without team could join one on the selected day.
Any ideas?

Koden I dont even want to mention Bridge and def with SF!  Is really unplayable.. But how about tryin chagnges about u said( I mean changing points). If we wanna change anything we have to do it as soon as possible or our loved game will be keep loosing players, the new ones as well as old school.

You all should give up on Assist. The new AA is underway and from what I know it's going to be legit. I would say just ride it out till the new stuff comes out.

New AA will take more than 1 year to come out

in 'development' doesn't mean that it will be released tomorrow. look at assist...
4 July 2014, that's the day xD

I didn't say it was going to be released tomorrow.

you got the point.

Glad to see all these fantastic ideas took off.
