I tried downloading it to Maps folder, and opening it with ArmyOps.exe, but opening this map from ArmyOps.exe just gave me errors.  Other maps load fine.

"Ran out of virtual memory. To prevent this condition, you must free up more space on your primary hard disk."
I have an SSD with a really small page file (400m).  I'm guessing something about the size of the map vs the pagefile?  I didn't know AA required alot of VM but seems to work fine for other maps.

bDeathMessages=True in aa25.ini, aa25srv.ini, /server/aa25srv.ini
for that server Mixk.  I dunno why it shouldn't be showing death messages unless it should be bDeathMessages=False, counter-intuitive lol

Agreed.  Just flash an admin message when joining the server.  PB messages that you have configured in ServerMessages can do the reminders if the admin wants.

My thing with 'mutate' is that it's a funky word/command.  With the mod, you can't create new commands available straight from the console but there's a Mutate() function available that reports whatever you combine Mutate with in the console.  But like pickaweapon, the 'Say' command can be intercepted  from BrodcastText() as well, and it would seem more natural to hit your talk button and type 'mapvote pipeline' 

So, typing 'mutate mapvote' by itself might give:

AA3_Airfield,AA3_Alley,AA3_Bridge,AA3_Impact,AA3_Pipeline
AA3_Ranch,Border,Bridge,Bridge_SE,Dusk,FLS,HQ_Raid
Insurgent_Camp,JRTC_Farm,Mountain_Ambush,Mountain_Pass,
Mountain_Pass_SE,MOUT_McKenna,MP_Aztec,MP_Berg,MP_Breakout
MP_Bridge_Construction,MP_Bunker_Crisis,MP_Canyon,
MP_City_Block,MP_District,MP_ESLDusk,MP_Glass_Kill_House
MP_Ice,MP_Interdiction,MP_Monkey_Island,MP_PBall,MP_Petrol
MP_Pipeline,MP_Pool_Day,MP_Residence,MP_RiverVillage,
MP_Rooftop,MP_SF_Contingency,MP_SF_Floodgate
MP_SF_Office_Assault,MP_SF_OldTown,MP_SF_Refinery,
SFoasis,Pipeline,Pipeline_SF,Radio_Tower,River_Basin
SFarctic,SFblizzard,SFCourtyard,SFcsar,SFDockside
SFextraction,SFhospital,SFPCR,SFrecon

Since futures maps being added would add to the length of this list, it would scoll past the end of
what the user might see in the long console.   Another possibility is to have:  'mutate mapvote [map or category]'
So, if the mod doesn't match the map name, it then looks thru an array of categories and offers a list based on that category. 

'mutate mapvote'
Response:
Categories:  AA3,285,mAAP,

'mutate mapvote AA3'
Response:
AA3_Airfield,AA3_Alley,AA3_Bridge,AA3_Impact,AA3_Pipeline
AA3_Ranch

'mutate mapvote AA3_Airfield'
Response:
Shad voted mapvote AA3_Airfield

The 285 category is large though.  If you wanted to make the categories conform the the 'Mission' categories from the tours.ini, you could break it down smaller. But because those categories have spaces in the names and we couldn't expect anyone to get it right, you might have to have a scheme like:

'mutate mapvote'
Response:
'mutate mapvote 1' lists mAAP CIty maps
'mutate mapvote 2' lists 172nd Sep. Infantry BDE  maps

'mutate mapvote 2'
Response:
Border,Bridge,Bridge_SE,Mountain_Pass,Mountain_Pass_SE
Pipeline,Urban_Assault

URLs might be difficult since you can't click on links, you have to remember the whole url and alt-tab out of the game to get the list, then remember the exact mapname and switch back into the game

A few suggestions.

1.  mutate mapvote by itself should list maps choices.  Probably you will have to form a string array to show map choices in horizontal space like:
mapname mapname mapname mapname
while the line length is <=60 characters (I think that is the cutoff limit without color?) because not everyone remembers the correct spelling of all the map names and a vertical listing would be to long

2.  The list of mapchoices should be compared with user choices without regard to capitalization.  Maybe convert the user map choice and the available map to caps for comparison. Lots of opportunity for not getting capitalization by user input...

3.   Notify joining users that mapvote is enabled on the server.  Something in ModifyPlayer() along the lines of
HC=HumanController(Other.PlayerReplicationInfo.GetController());
HC.NotifyAdminMessage("Vote for a new map:  mutate mapvote [map]");

These stats correct?  I thought we were at 8.0.3

Awesome.  Much needed as admins can't turn them off in 2.5

SF class requires this file, so it shouldn't be banned.  I don't think there is anything really hackable about it other than having a custom rifle (with a bipod attachment, without 203, ect)  whenver SF is used causing admins a little grief, but they can easily kick players as well.
Ammo availability/counts are still SF (look at AGP_Inventory.Weapon_M4A1_Rifle_Mod) and are controlled by the maps.  There might be the possibility of using another AGP_Inventory section, but I doubt it and if so, that information isn't widely known to people that still play.
If you HAVE to overwrite WeaponsMod.ini, at least allow the normal stuff. 

I researched this info just to bring back the flares  which was allowable when SFRecon came out
