I've played a few rounds and it seems like Assault & Def always rush main. There's gotta be more balance. I've NEVER seen anyone use the extra tunnels...

There was a version of Pipe I had made with the truck closer and defense spread out throughout the building to make it realistic like they were guarding it. I'll do that again.

It always seemed to me that Pipeline is easier to rush than to slowly assault through the tunnels. Perhaps, if tunnels were to lead closer to the spawn point, more players might be willing to invade the facility through them.

Here is the message from the dev what jonny talked about:

I have some bad news. There are two layers of legal hurdles that we'd have to miraculously jump through in order to release source for AA2. The first layer is Epic - they expressly forbid the release of source content as part of the licensing agreement.

Though I don't think it would be impossible to get them to allow it somehow (that licensing agreement was written a long time ago, when we were Epic's first licensee, and I'm willing to bet they'd relent), the next part would be impossible. Army legal. The full might of the bureaucratic machine would have to be brought to bear on the question of whether or not to release official US Gov't property. That would take years, if it ever did actually happen. IT would absolutely be easier, better, cleaner, and faster for a team of modders to make AA2.9 from scratch at that point.

So, we are left with few options. One is to hold out hope that we can get our [TOS Violation] together and maybe AA:PG will be close-to-worthy of it's legacy at some point. Next build should be removing the accuracy cone completely, for instance, among other things. Another is that maybe we're able to get AA2 supported again through the channels we have with Steam, given the precedent set by 3 and PG...we couldn't convince the purse-holders last time that it would be worthwhile, but maybe we can try again and get AA2 back on line...though I kinda doubt it. OR - and this is a big 'or' - enterprising modders can take tools like CE3 and UDK and just...kinda...make AA2.9ish. A long shot, but it would likely come together far sooner than any approval process on our end - if that ever did, in fact, come together.

Sorry it couldn't be good news, man.




But I have an idea maybe we could have a chat with this dev and as he mentioned they might open AA2 section again.So I was thinking might we could offer some help then that coders from here could help making new patch for AA2 or something like that.Also im in contact with a guy who has a coding team maybe we could team up with them also?There are many ways we could make this work again

That is by far the most exaustive and complete answer i've ever read from a developer about America's Army 2 future. The Steam part is far more interesting, might make the game far more visible. Anyway, at this point even Proving Grounds is looking and feeling quite refined enough to believe they will release it later this year (and it will "take" away some players from AA2, too).

I seem to remember that the co-op maps were seriously laggy and glitchy as hell.

Hmm glitchy, Snakeplain perhaps? Interdiction and ES2Border were about fine (well, if you were to die while carrying the object on Interdiction it could disappear). Snakeplain bugs were mostly related to vehicles, especially collision glitches. ES2Border was a "report and extract" mode if i recall correctly, i can't remember of any awful glitch of bug that was part of that mission only.

About performance, the higher the amount of bots, the lower the overall performance. And to be honest, i've played several custom made maps that were perfectly up to par with PvP maps. I think the issue was mostly related to bots amount, if you're to spawn several little amounts of AI entities during a relatively wide timelapse you get a much better performance than when you're going to spawn a huge amount right in once. Killing Floor approach is pretty much the first one, and it provides a very usable performance even on old systems.

If you have a 2.8.5 install you might try starting Interdiction offline, looking at the framerate, then command-kill all the bots. Just a matter of "garbage collection" isn't it?

Did you guys intentionally break the signature image feature on the site? Because it seems like it...
It won't allow you to use the img code.

I took a look at the Features and options and nothing seems wrong. I also did a brief search at the SMF support forums, haven't found anything similar yet.

Fixed. Don't rely on ImageShack for image hosting, use Imgur instead.

Lets see how receptive they are to the idea? My guess is they would prefer people stopped playing aa2 and moved onto 3 or 4.

The amount of players is negligible, most likely they simply don't care about.

I'm not equiped to become I pro I see
Portable pc, not even headphone, 2 little ears, 25 FPS max ...

A Creative branded card won't do the trick, and what matters the most is placed between the chair and the keyboard so, if you can play as good as i recall it has to mean you exceed those limitations.
