Old good Win 98. I had a Celeron 466 running Win98 up to december 2009 (and my brother actually kept thinking of doing something heavy on it), with firefox 2 that simply used to *stare* at youtube - haha.

Tons of useful services in Win8 too as usual i guess? As for the usual Fax, mixed comm services plus some more...i would love to have on windows on that kind of software center that's made in Ubuntu. Like, gimme a cleaner OS, i'll surely be able to mess it up myself later. 

Another feature I like is that there is a simplistic Malware scanning program upon startup/cut

At startup? Hmm did they really learned something over the years...

So, lately i was looking at closely at RO2 both because of personal interest and for AA2 issues (late ones), and then yesterday GetGames dropped the price -> therefore pushing me to buy it - Steam Syndrome i know.

Did someone bought buy the game/played the beta? I'm just giving a try on this game, as i like the more "realistic" approach (you know, less CallofDutish).

On one hand the game looks very interesting, with vehicle support, squad roles attribution, faithful weapons reproduction and such, while on the other hand if you take a look at the official forums there's a bug report section populated with a good amount of reports (yet the average forum chatting is very respectful - not something you see everywhere).



p.s. sorry if my english sounds a little wierd sometimes - I'm italian actually.

Most of the maps in the mAAp Pack are from the guys at aa-maps.net, just refinished, updated and a few bugs fixed:

I can spot the Yeti watching the tv in one of those pics lolz.

Btw, if you let 2.8.5 players know that there's a chance to track and get tracked on 2.5, some might come back. My own opinion anyway is that many server admins kept hosting the same maps for a wee bit too long (many wonderful maps haven't been hosted in ages) but it's just imho as far as for the way so many people used to play 2.8.5 before the services shutdown, i think it wouldn't be an issue for em to play 2.5 (i am actually a coop aficionado but there are really few of us coop lovers at this time).

Oh, and there's a clan called Fair Dinkum Gamers playing from Australia, they also host a couple custom servers i think. 

Have you seen/heard of mAAp?

You reminded me about aa-maps.net (the website doesn't exist no more but a little cache does http://web.archive.org/web/20080309115831/http://www.aa-maps.net/, back in maybe 4 or 5 years ago there was a community that used to make maps and some pretty cool thing like this (by vvaffenpazzer):



And maps like this one (by Spetsnaz, which is still active but on other games).



I've been lurking the thread a little yesterday ^^' i'm not a programmer, i just model some things, but i'd love to see AA2 back and operative aswell.
