Well, Assist has been on Sourceforge since 2009, I know it was "Deploy" before that and it wasn't hosted on Sourceforge at first. I would guess that mAAp has been a part of Assist (and thus 2.5) since 2008. If that's not enough time for something to catch on, then I don't know how it would ever catch on. Even if we're talking just from January 2012, that's almost 6 months of it being a mandatory download.

Another "test" I did recently was run my mAAp only rotating server (changing maps every 40 minutes) for 2 days. Guess what? Not a SINGLE user joined it. I checked the logs, twice. I also ran the server twice, once for a day, the second time for 2 days. No users.

was actually thinking about this. I used to play F.E.A.R. a lot and was kinda thinking of that game but i wanna keep it true to americas army and i dont really think you would find blood all over the walls lol.

I don't think you are understanding the point. If they are too stuck in their old ways (playing maps like pipeline or Urban Assault) and they're not willing to try new things, that's being narrow minded. It has nothing to do with whether they like the new thing or not, but whether they're willing to try and accept the new thing. This is a topic we never really discussed. If the players tried mAAp maps and didn't like them, then we can't call them narrow minded. Also, there is a difference between suggesting changes and complaining about the current setup saying we need changes. I will say that Spanky seemed a little defensive to the suggestions, but really he's had to deal with a lot of people complain about his hard work he did for free.
