Oh wow, I didn't realise this map went as far back as that. I started playing AA in 2008... :) I used to really like Blizzard back when I started playing, there was always a good few people on a Blizzard server by that time. Was great to play it again with a good number of people on the server the other night! :D

@@Mr_Gunman-GB This map was released along with SF PCR, SF Courtyard, and SF Watertreatment in 2.4.0 in 2004, when I was in my first year of senior high (I'm now 35...). People at that time seemed to like Courtyard the most, while not many played Blizzard because the gameplay often ended up being very slow-paced. Assault teams were often afraid of attacking because this map was difficult for them. I personally prefer SF PCR, but it's probably the second least popular map of the four. I live in Taiwan, Asia, so in the past, there were never many people that played this game, and we mostly had to deal with a 200ms ping to play on West Coast US servers, as that was the lowest ping we could have on most official/leased servers.

@@uprisingjc_sub6664 Those four maps are great. Both Blizzard and Water Treatment were favourites back in the day, as I like the more slower paced maps. We still play all of those maps now, though I think PCR is probably one of the least popular with players today. People now tend to like smaller maps with not as many camping places or so many places to go for the objectives (Personally I think PCR is great.... lol). That's a shame about your ping, that must have sucked. :( I think even now, there's very few, if any west coast server online.

@@Mr_Gunman-GB I like the 4 maps, too, but unfortunately they ended up being not that popular. Popular maps in the past, to name a few, were urban assault, insurgent camp, pipeline, border, bridge crossing and sf hospital. I liked this game so I had to deal with the ping issue. All the Asian players faced this problem. To compensate for the ping disadvantage, I tended to not rush that much and listened to the enemy footstep as much as possible because my bullets go slower than most other players’ due to the 200 ms ping.

Greetings, Nightmare! You can download America's Army 2.5 Assist here aao25.com/forum/index.php, at the tab at the top of the page. You'll also need to make an account to play, using this link here. auth.aa25.org/register/. Hope to see you in game soon ! :D

Haha! I was sure that you were going to get me, having the high ground like you did!

@@Mr_Gunman-GB you know how noob I'm 😆

@@NoobWithaaGun Ahh, you can be pretty quick! :)

we're getting more and more people online lately. now that it's going to be fall & winter i hope we get atleast 3 -4 full servers soon

Hi Wedge! We’re getting a lot of new/returning players lately, a couple of them have even made their own servers and those have been pretty full recently. It has been at least 20 players in the server every night and with winter approaching, I wouldn’t be surprised if there will be three or four full servers for the first time in years. :)

Yeah man! We play every day of the week, it's not huge numbers of people, but it's still a great crowd! :) These days, we play on AA 2.5 Assist. You can download it here: aao25.com/forum/index.php, at the tab at the top of the page. When you have finished downloading, you'll need to make an account to play, here: auth.aa25.org/register/. Hope to see you in game soon! :)

Hi matey, yep, it's still very much active! Not just at weekends, but we get over 20 people in the server almost every day of the week these days. I rarely have the opportunity to play on EU servers, even though I'm in the UK, but sometimes I will IF ever I get the chance. lol. Even on EU servers and EU time zone, there's still a good crowd. :)

@@Mr_Gunman-GB Awesome thanks! Last time i played on the assist client was 2019 i believe so thats good to hear :D

@@JeipsterMusic Nice! In that case then, you should still be able to login with your old details. If you have trouble logging in, there's a section on the Assist forum for account recovery, and the Assist admins should be able to help you out. :)

You can still make a comeback to AA2, it's still alive! :D You can download America's Army 2.5 Assist here aao25.com/forum/index.php, at the tab at the top of the page. You'll also need to make an account to play, using this link here. auth.aa25.org/register/. Hope to see you in game! :D

It’s a great group of guys on the AAT at night, well worth staying up for, but it was 3:15am for me by the time I logged off last night!

It sure is! We play every day using 2.5 Assist, my latest video of SF Hospital was recorded in the early hours of this morning. lol. You can download 2.5 Assist here, aao25.com/forum/. You’ll also need to make an in-game account to play, here - auth.aa25.org/register/. Hope to see you in game! :)

Awesome! Used to play that, long time ago with . May give it a try ! Miss it a lot. Playing hospital and artic.

Do we need to do all SF missions as well to play sf maps and play as medic?

@@ymakalakata8958 Cool! We play Hospital most days. :) Check out my channel, as I have most maps that we play all recorded. :) You don’t need to do Medic or SF training anymore, you can still do the training just for fun or to get some practice. Once downloaded and your account has been approved by an admin, you automatically have training completed and you start at 16 honor (instead of 10, like in the old days). We also still have an honor points system, as the old Battletracker site was shut down a few years ago, but we now have a new site called AA Tracker. aatracker.net/players. Unfortunately, it doesn’t have the old stats from Battletracker, you have to start afresh (unless you can prove your old honor with an old screenshot, then an admin can update your honor level). Hope to see you in game! :)

Fanks! We did get owned a few times, but am glad that I recorded me owning the VIP. :D

Yes, it does look a little bad on the video. My screen recorder only records at 15fps, then I put the screen recording in a video editor and I save the video in 60fps. Not perfect, but it’ll do. lol. The frame rate is a lot better when I’m actually playing, then it looks in the video. :)

Thanks! :D

@@Mr_Gunman-GB Watch Gunman in action th-cam.com/video/EzIPm0y73FM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=BK3rXK_GgIgmCNnf

None that I'm aware of. I THINK there might still some people that play it, but I haven't heard anything about AA3 in years. :)

@@Mr_Gunman-GB damn, its such a legendary game

Nice! Glad you can join us again! :D Right now, it's a little quieter than normal, as it's summer and people want to get out more, but it will certainly pick up a lot when the Autumn arrives! At the moment, it's about 15, maybe 20 players in the server every night. Autumn/Winter time, there should be enough to fill two servers (or more!). People play most of the day, but the normal start for the most amount of people is evening time, where ever you might be, around 7pm Euro time for Euro players and 7pm EST for US players. I'm literally just about to open the server up for an evening game right now, hope to see you in game soon! :)

I know, right. Such nostalgia! I haven’t heard it for a long time until I sourced it for the video. lol.

@@Mr_Gunman-GB me either it's been over 15 years since I last played it I use to be in a clan

@@JackBowker-c5t Nice! I used to have a server back in the day called Go Get Some !!!, which played 24/7 SF Snakeplain. :D You can still play this, I only recorded the gameplay in this vid just yesterday. :) Most of us play on the AAT server, which has a Discord group; discord.gg/3YDcXwVMbN Official 2.5 Assist Discord group discord.gg/yvF9H2Hknh There’s a new site that was created last year by the owner of the AAT clan, Hellboy, which tracks players stats, called the AA Tracker aatracker.net/players You can download Assist here; aao25.com/forum/ Hope to see you back! :D

@@Mr_Gunman-GB nice my favourite maps were SF Hospital or bridge crossing and not sure if you've heard of the spetnaz clan known as [SPZ]

@@JackBowker-c5t They are great maps, especially the Hospital! Yeah, I remember them! There used to be some [SPZ] guys playing until just a couple of years ago, then they seamed to have disappeared. Unless, of course, they've taken the tags off.

Awesome! It really is an awesome game, a lot of modern games still fail to compete with it. This game is still alive, it's not dead yet!!! All of my game play videos on my channel I have recorded over the last year! These days, we play on AA 2.5 Assist and we play every day.

@@Mr_Gunman-GB I actually downloaded it (wish it was 2.8.5 tho) but it does not feel the same for some reason. Guess I gotta tinker with some settings. I remember playing it on an old CRT monitor, now I have QD-OLED so ofcourse it'll be different. Any way to increase refresh rate?

@@jaho543 Awesome! I'm glad you are able to join us! :) I guess it would be a bit different when compared to the old fashioned monitors. I think most of us have had to fiddle around with the settings, myself included. I usually do this by joining a server, press ESC > Settings in the bottom left corner > Settings again, then you can fiddle around with things like the brightness/contrast, etc. I'm not sure how to fiddle with the refresh rate, though. If you have DIscord, you could join our AA Tracker server Discord group with the link in my previous comment, we have some great guys that can help with the more technical stuff. :)

Nice, longer than I've actually been playing (since 2008). lol.
