Idea: We could strip-down maps and modify them to cater towards tournaments and competitive playing BUT make them a separate version, not overwrite the original. Win-win?
I guess. Nobody would play the stripped down maps though. A competitive community isn't going to magically appear due to more comp friendly maps.

I agree.

I still think most pub players are already within their opinion about competitive players before even knowing what it exactly is. The thing is that most competitive players have played the game in more perspectives: as a pubber and as a competitive player, they usually looked through maps and thought out strats in way more detail compared with the majority of the pub players.

You can call them no-lifers for this, arrogant people or anything, but the fact is that because they looked at the game from many different perspectives and that because they played the game in a different way as well and thought out strats and tactics they think about more factors which influence the game, and balance the game compared with regular pub players.

This is why I do think the opinion of a competitive player is based on more variables in the game which leads to the fact that the chance of them calling the right thing to do is higher compared with a regular pub player calling the right thing to do based on their gut feeling.

They just have more experience, whether you like it or not.
That is such bullshit. Him wanting to make the game better for comp players won't make the game better in general. You have 2 different styles of play. Why should competitive play outweigh pub play? It's stupid.

He wants to dumb down all the cool and fun maps so they're better for comp play and not as hard on FPS. That is not going to happen and only benefits competition, not pub play.

A lot of competitive players always have this "holier than thou" attitude and it's pathetic.

Right. This is why 127 people are playing the game. Still going to download it and im sure I'll be called a cheater for pressing the crouch key too many times, if anyone who used to really play this game sees this pm me.
You know what? Fuck you. If your goal with this thread was to look like a complete douche you pulled it off wonderfully.

It must be difficult to talk to all us pub peasants from way up there on competitive player mountain.

Go ahead. Change the maps and kill the game for some ploy to get more competitive players.

The project was supposed to preserve America's Army so people can play the game they loved. Since when did competitive players start taking precedent over those that play the game just to have fun? Hell Spanky, everything you hate about AA is what the competitive scene is. Supped up sound hardware, sound camping, glitching, custom visual settings to see farther, ini tweaking, and all that shit.

If you guys want to, go ahead and start changing everything, do it. See what happens. I hope it turns out well, but I doubt it will. You'll have to find some more people to change the maps though, I doubt Spanky would be willing to put in all the time by himself.

The new maps are part of what killed this game before it grew in the first place. Sf maps are shit. Always have been shit, too much graphic demand... Escort missions are terrible for competition.. Etc.. The only thi they did do right with SF was the silenced m4. If there is any chance of getting this game out of the grave it's going to be with original/updated versions of orignal maps. Mout McKenna, insurgent camp, weapons cache, pipeline, hq raid maybe river basin or mountain ambush. Maybe modify those maps to simplify objectives to make the maps more evenly sided. Game needs to be dumbed down so the average pubstar can understand how to play at a competitive level. Game is too small to divide the population with 20 maps...in its peak it was too small to do that.

TL.DR;    don't make the same mistakes the devs made by adding shitty maps before perfecting the great ones the game already has.
There were 2 things that were promised when this project started. The first being that we would never do anything to change the core gameplay of America's Army. The second being that we would never change any of the original maps that people love. We made that promise to the community and I doubt they will turn back on it now. You're the first person in favor of editing the regular maps I've seen so it is not going to be done.

Look, AA is an old game. News players are going to be hard to come by. Most of the people that play this game now are old timers that just want to play the game they have always loved. If we take that away by changing the game a bunch, what are we left with? No players.

Killa, I agree with you until the bit where you say "if the waste is disposed of properly". Has any nuclear waste been disposed of properly? That stuff has half-lives of thousands of years and we've only been doing nuclear stuff for what, 50-70 years? We can't "dispose" of it, we can only manage it and moderate it.

All energy sucks. Coal and gas cause air pollution, nuclear will kill us all from the inside out, solar is inefficient and made in foreign markets, wind kills bird habitats, dams require tons of maintenance. Geothermal's aright but it's crazy expensive.

We're all gonna die.
That's why I said "if." There has been many cases where it isn't disposed of properly. By dispose I i'm not talking about getting rid of it completely, but properly containing it to where it cannot harm anyone.

But yeah, it's sad how almost every way to create energy harms something.

... and you think that radioactive water simply disappear?

Not to mention possibility of nuclear disaster.
Yeah, there's a possibility of a nuclear disaster. Just like there is a possibility of getting shot in the face walking down the road on any given day. The only difference is that nuclear disasters are MUCH less common.

Nuclear energy is very safe when handled by the right people. Chernobyl was a flawed design being worked on by unqualified people. That's why it happened. The thing about nuclear energy is if the waste is disposed of properly, it's very clean and causes very little pollution for how much energy you can get out of it.

it is One Music a Day, not A Music for the entire day Killa :P
lol. It's a great song. That's nothing though. Their song "Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence" is 42 minutes long. :P

Dream Theater isn't for those hyperactive kids with nonexistent attention spans. Even their more mainstream songs are like 6 minutes or longer.

Not as nice looking as some other people's but it works for me.



22" ASUS 1080p Monitor
AKG K240 Headphones
Nintendo Wii U
Wacom Bamboo Splash Drawing Tablet
Microsoft Sidewinder X4 Keyboard (cheap and nice)
Razer Deathadder 213 optical mouse.

Normally I avoid razer stuff as it's usually a rip off, but I heard good thing about the mouse and for $50 it wasn't all that expensive.

Admins; Do we subtract the ROE points from total score or is that already accounted for?
It is not accounted for. You must subtract ROE.
