Rant on Reddit about AAPG, some good takeaways

Twitchr.Carbon8

Lots of good conversation guys, i appreciate hearing everyone's point of view.

Numbers can be misleading because just having launcher open counts. I do see a lot of people leaving their game open when not playing but the numbers are probably somewhat close within 500-1000 players or so off.

Brb going to do some math.

EDIT:
18 full 24 man servers = 432 players
2 @ 23 players=46 players
3 @ 22 players= 66 players
1 @ 21 = 21
3 @ 20= 60
2 @ 19= 38
1 @ 17= 17
2 @ 16= 32
3 @ 14= 42
2 @ 12= 24
4 @ 11= 44
1 @ 10= 10
7 @ 9= 63
2 @ 8= 16
5 @ 7= 35
3 @ 6= 18
2 @ 5= 10
1 @ 4= 4
2 @ 3= 6
4 @ 2= 8
4 @ 1= 4

Total= 996 players

According to steam charts= Current Players = 1318

lol nicely done Colts... I just counted @3:45pm Est a total of 1,015 players !

which is actually more than I though.. I guess my problem is this

12 servers under 100 ping
21 servers within 130 ping

50 servers from 130-230 = 100 ping difference
6 servers with slightly higher ping

so out of 89 running servers only 12 acceptable :disappointed:

this may be Americas Army, but I guess its the Europeans that are keeping it alive

Euros have been keeping the game alive for quite some time.

=IK=Doba=

yeah but its early for NA.. the activity for NA picks up later in the evening

Saccho

USA does its share

=IK=Doba=

its 9:45pm Est.. 7 servers with ppl in it under 100 ping..
hit refresh and its 10.. woo hoo

TONS higher. AA was one of the most popular FPS games of its time.

And I'll tell you why. Maps and grenade launchers guys, you heard it here first.

Must have been the noobtubes

SSKnecabo

Sorry apple but it's my spotlight.

K!Dz.applePIE

Lol you beat me to it.. I think we typed it simultaneously

K!Dz.applePIE

But jokes to a side. I still think the difference comes from map variety and good design. All other things that many complain about is not the real issue here.

Plus when you read the hot topics seems like everyone wants to go back to aa2 mechanics lol

SSKnecabo

The best mechanics are worthless if the game is not advertised. I'm glad it wasn't in this state though.

Didn't they already say that it was advertised?

SSKnecabo

Yes, a week or two on steam. Not that anyone would care about it. Look at how the numbers changed with release. Even the worst game gets way more players initially with proper advertisement.

During the 2.4-2.6 period it was about 25k in game at any time.

ohh good old times..

=IK=Doba=

Ohh forgot to mention the worst part of having only ~15 servers available under 100 ping.. 12 of them are playing inner !!!

Can we remove inner from the game for a few months so these idiots can learn to play other maps?? Please
