Nothing much can be done if you talking about improving graphics since the engine is used a bit out of date ^^
That's an understatement.
It would be possible to update all the maps with HD textures and better meshes (if we found someone to make them for us) but the game would be unplayable due to engine limitations. The engine has enough trouble as it is with Petrol and that's all stuff that came with AA 2.5. The fact is that the engine is too old to be able to handle better graphics. In a modern world of quad and hexa core CPUs, the version of UE2 that AA2.5 runs on uses only one CPU core, that's how old it is.
Look at Shantytown. I can't even play it with an i7 4770K and Radeon HD 7950 without dipping into the 20's for FPS.

Don't really get what you mean, but the problem is serious. Spying is oviously there, your PC desktop is snapshotted.
I don't think it's technically spying since the user knows it's happening, but that doesn't make it right. I agree with you. I'm going to try to get it removed, but it's not really up to me.

It's the same what happened when johnny the one that started Assist was in charge, he was spying on people their desktops, he backed of when people were taking steps to take him to court.
That was very different because people didn't know it was happening. Hell, I didn't even know it was happening. I didn't blame people for their concern then and I don't blame people for their concern now. However, it's clearly stated that this happens in our ToU now.

Kinda agree with others, if I have assist running, I minimize screen by going to check my bank or paypal in web and screenshot is taken its a bs. That's to much going into privacy, maybe there is another way around with this anti cheat? Even games like COD or battlefield or other game doesn't have this.
That's actually a very good point. I'm not exactly defending this, just stating that the ToU clearly states that this occurs.
Of course you are 100% right. And then you have issues like:
- "where are SS stored?"
- "for how long?"
- "who can access it?"
- "how it is protected?"
etc.

I can't answer this as I don't deal with any of that stuff.

Vanoke,

Ofcourse your bank account is not robbed lol (yet... kidding lol)
It's not about that, it's about they are breaching the law of distributing a game they are not allowed to do and earning money from it through vortexservers.

The next point is that they can spy on you anytime when you have Assist running WITHOUT you knowing it.

I am going to say it again:"I really appreciate the work they do to keep AA alive but i do not appreciate to be spied on and i am sure alot of people stand beside me on this point after the hassle with johnny.
We are not earning any money from it. Vortex servers is a separate company that just hosts our site and we advertise for them. That's a fairly standard deal for websites. The only money we get is from donations and that is just used to pay server costs.
Also, vortex servers DOES NOT host Assist, just the AAO25 website. Assist and AAO25 are hosted by different people in different parts of the world. You're trying to act clever but you have no idea what you're talking about.

Also, epicGoat isn't even banned...

Weird that when I asked players on the hospital server today if they like the change. The majority was against the decision and only a handful approved it. Looks like an awful lot of bridge players voted on this... And Bollie with 16 accounts :D
That's a valid point. Perhaps those that played mostly Hospital liked the 203s. However, we don't make votes just for people that play certain maps. Maybe more people that didn't like hospital before because of the 203 will now start playing it? I don't know. Look, we simply just did what the majority wanted. Your anger is a bit misguided. Are you really going to get mad at us for simply acting on a vote? The vote wasn't even close either...

Oh really? Weird, I never heard their opinions on the servers. And trust me, I played Hospital a lot. Maybe it was just a ton of people in the admin channel on ts.
If you think it was just the admins explain the outcome of the vote... People wanted this, whether you want to admit it or not. Your attempt also fails because I already said I don't like the change. Also, just because nobody has told you that they didn't like the 203 doesn't mean nobody told us. After all, EliZ has the power to change the game, not you, so why would they tell you instead of us?

I am serious on this.

They are earning money through Vortexservers, this website is registrered to Paulo Sergio who has ties to vortexservers.com

Domain Name: AAO25.COM
Registrar URL: http://www.godaddy.com
Registrant Name: Paulo Sergio
Registrant Organization: AAO 2.5 Assist
Name Server: NS1.VORTEXSERVERS.COM
Name Server: NS2.VORTEXSERVERS.COM
DNSSEC: unsigned
AAO25 is completely separate from Assist. Even if you wanted to try to take down assist, AAO25 isn't going to get you anything. It's just a website.
I'd also like to point out that Sergio has nothing to do with vortex servers. Vortex servers just hosts our site and video game servers. They host our site so we advertise their game servers. Not sure what getting this info is going to get you.

I'd also like to point out that being an admin on AAO25 is also completely separate from Assist. For example, I don't make any changes to assist. I don't have any code or ability to change any code. I'm simply an admin on the website. I mostly deal with community crap like this.

What data can be more intrusive than screenshots of desktop at any random time?

The only time Assist can take a screenshot is when Assist is running. So it's not any random time. The feature is so that we can see what the user is seeing when playing.

You still don't get it. If the community has voted that there should be only pistols, would you implemented it?
I repeated it many times: voting and "democracy" are most often not the good way to judge things.

That's a valid point. However, we've had a ton of people ask for this, so we made a vote and it won. Nobody has come to us saying they want pistols only. Not a single person. We don't create votes just for the hell of it, it has to be clear that a lot of people want the change.

Like I said, I don't like removing weapons from an original map either, but I respect what the community wants.

The problem is

- TOS does not stand above the law to get spied on, something Assist is doing.
- The next one is that the creators of Assist are using an illegal copy of Americas Army which is also not allowed by the law.
What exactly do you mean by an illegal copy of Americas Army? We do not have access to the source code, thus cannot change the actual game. The only thing questionable is redistribution, which could easily be solved if the creators of AA2 wanted to stop us. Again, they know about Assist.
I'd also like that some programs such as web browsers keep much more intrusive and private data than a PC screenshot.

In this case, that changing original map like this is just pure idiocy.
That's an opinion, not a fact. A lot of people disagree with you, get over it.

Also, you still didn't answer my question, but I give up on that.

Again, I would like to emphasize that this was a COMMUNITY VOTE. The amount of hate is ridiculous.

Yeah that's what i was thinking about aswell.
I remember johnny stepped back because a few others were taking steps to take him to court because of his spying activities.
Yes, it is true that there was a big incident about what Jonny put in the program. Jonny left and the awful feature has been removed. What happened is regrettable, but we've moved on from that.
If you don't like the fact that Assist can take screenshots, then don't use it. That's why the ToU is there, to let you know.
