He is a man doing a job. His job is to make a game. In order for this scheme to work the game needs to make money. One has no legal right to use other people's work (including - but not limited to - graphics, sounds and map design) for their own monetary gain. There can be exceptions to this (e.g when the same people make a sequel or the rights are bought), but I'm fairly certain the US Army is not interested in selling (nor giving away) the stuff they've paid to be made.
What KAEPS is doing is developing a new game. He's getting inspiration (and not actual details) from AA2 (and other sources, of course). He might even have some maps that are similar to what we had in AA. But he cannot just copy a map and use it in his own game.
Think of it this way, if Picasso made a painting and signed it. It sold for a million dollars. Then you come along and copy the painting exactly, except you put your own signature under it. This would be called forgery and is obviously illegal. It's a similar situation here.
Furthermore, as has been discussed on this topic before, the game cannot be exactly like AA2 was because that's not what people expect from a modern game. Just because you and a few dozen other people might want to get AA2 in a new "skin" or something like that, doesn't mean it's actually commercially viable. Let's face it, the current AA2 community is the vast minority of (FPS) gamers out there and you don't get far selling a new game to such a small amount of people.
