Brussel's, imagine being the man behind the revival of AA2. Both competitively and public. All you need to do is spare enough dollar to fund some good coders.

Think of it as an investment, when the game is bigger then AA4 and the USA want to buy the code back you'll make a ton of money.

It's not as simple as that. There is no way in hell we would be able to get the source code for AA2. It just won't. happen. We can't make any big changes without the source code.

heh, i know its not that easy it is doable. 2.8.5 would attract a huge amount more players, and its more fun to play!

I'm not sure why people prefer playing 2.8 its almost an identical game with a few minor changes.

2.8 has better graphics, more FPS, updated engine, more maps, AI and a few things like that.

Killa, I wouldn't rule out getting the source code. It's unlikely and what could we possibly do with it but I wouldn't say it's impossible.

Like I said, I doubt they would ever let random people use their brand name for a game. Hell, some game companies shut down mods for using their brand name. I doubt they would even consider it.

Back in the days i used to play Cooperative and that was a really different gameplay. Loads of fun with next to no rage, as it should be.

I seem to remember that the co-op maps were seriously laggy and glitchy as hell.

Hmm glitchy, Snakeplain perhaps? Interdiction and ES2Border were about fine (well, if you were to die while carrying the object on Interdiction it could disappear). Snakeplain bugs were mostly related to vehicles, especially collision glitches. ES2Border was a "report and extract" mode if i recall correctly, i can't remember of any awful glitch of bug that was part of that mission only.

About performance, the higher the amount of bots, the lower the overall performance. And to be honest, i've played several custom made maps that were perfectly up to par with PvP maps. I think the issue was mostly related to bots amount, if you're to spawn several little amounts of AI entities during a relatively wide timelapse you get a much better performance than when you're going to spawn a huge amount right in once. Killing Floor approach is pretty much the first one, and it provides a very usable performance even on old systems.

If you have a 2.8.5 install you might try starting Interdiction offline, looking at the framerate, then command-kill all the bots. Just a matter of "garbage collection" isn't it?

about the accounts often changed. why not
something like this:

- bind the computers mac address to the account(s)
- you can have 3 accounts binded to one mac
- make a page where you can unbind your account to this mac and bind it to another mac (read this automatically)
- you can only unbind and bind 3 times a year this way

so if someone do fake his mac, it doesn't matter anymore. only be sure you can handle the way someone would like to catch another real mac from already registered player. so once binded, only with good reason you can unbind, like a ban appeal.

I guess this is the most easiest way to have control about all that - maybe with a bit of work at the very beginning, but...no paypal, no credit cards, no ....

Well I have word from the AA dev team... To sum up the answer is no! for legal reasons.
But they suggest we keep doing what we are doing because we are doing a outstanding job.
I will make 2.5 the best and cleanest game it can possibly be and hopefully one day eliz will come back to continue his work on 2.8

That's a shame but completely understandable .Assist is doing a fantastic job and to be honest the fact that we still have over 200 people playing this game is astonishing. Keep up the good work.
