Therein lies the problem.
CS, BF, CoD, etc. every sequel is similar in most respects to the last. People know what to expect when they get one of those games. Not so with AA.
You joined the world's greatest army to become a graphic artist? Outstanding!
That's fine and that's one of the reasons you won't seem me playing AAPG. I will always check back every 6 months and hope that things change but I'm not going to hold my breath.
I want AA to be successful. I've been playing since 2003 but I just don't see it happening...
On the bright side, the Devs have said that a classic AA remake contest is something they're looking at doing at some point. So, hopefully that happens after the current contest finishes. IMO it should have come first, but what can you do.

@ Dudash.dfl, What would say if I told you, I had the perfect server for you? Playing lots of the AA2 remakes, and many more newer AA2 types of maps. Nice and slow and long
No run and gun Rambo style, more team work oriented with players talking on ts...coordinating attacks. Not being rushed by anyone in the server as much time you want to take. You can camp, pitch a tent, make marshmallows, you have 6 to 10 minutes to finish a round. About 2 hours to finish a map. And you gain everything you get in the official server. stats, progression, unlocks....on and on.
Would you be interested, and this server is almost full 24 hours. at least from early afternoon till about midnight pst.
Would you be? It's not a server, think of it more like the old aa2 community. So what you say....you and all your friends? They are putting up new boxes to host more servers soon. I think you should at least give it a try. you will find many of you favorite maps there, you won't be disappointing in selection, trust me.

TBH, not because CSAR, but I think the AA2/3 contest should've been done first before any other contest. This way you would've kept the masses busy with those maps for long time and "MAYBE" the player base would be different? Thoughts??
It seems that actual devs hate AA2 and its big successful life... ...i remember when aa3 was in w.i.p. and the entire community (it was REALLY a big community) requested only one thing: aa2 with updated graphic. Same gameplay, same game mechanics, same missions, all old maps plus new graphics and new maps. I think is time to give back to the community some of old fashioned bells: at least all the old maps with new assets, V.I.P. mode and some other perks. i think that the new contest for aa2 maps shouldn't be limited to 3 maps but open for choosing for every old aa2 map a new revamped aapg map. I.e. for CSAR we dont need a contest, because CSAR2 by Wolverine is ready to play and should become official without doubts.

No run and gun rambo style? I can easily do that on that server. More team work in this server? No, it all depends on the team you have.
My point is that server is just like every other server aside from the fact it has custom maps and some old school AA2 maps. You can play on an official server and get the same gameplay no problem it all depends who is playing. It just so happens many good players are not allowed to play on that server so as a result you get different results. If I take 12 comp guys and go into that server and go my 12 guys vs 12 guys always on that server, you would see.

I don't think the devs hate the success AA2 had. Personally I think they just follow AA3 dev's footsteps too much. Instead of creating an AA2 Sequel they created a brand new game. Along the way they realized many of the users playing AAPG played AA2 a lot and have since gave us a bunch of AA2 features. You can't expect an AA2 remake of the exact same layout and design map in AAPG because the games are vastly different. Character model height, vaulting, supporting, sliding, so many things change how an AA2 map plays in this game. You simply cannot get the same exact same playstyle out of a map AA2 had on AAPG. Another big reason for this is the way you spawn in AAPG vs the way you spawned in AA2. Yes you can make custom spawn points in User Made Map, but can you select the spawn point you want VIA gun choice? No you can't so it's not the same never going to be the same. The sooner people realize that the better. A lot of people seem to think AA2 was slow and 10 minute rounds. It was not you could still run and gun. You could still finish a round in 2 minutes or less. The difference was you had the ability to take 10 minutes. You still have run and gunners in AA2. All run and gunners are in any game is someone who vastly better than you not trying and just sprinting around out aiming people. You will not catch anyone doing such a thing in an equal skill match.
Colts I am learning to bite my tongue. It's tough, but I'm doing. I call it rehab.
I got what you were trying to say though. You are correct in how people play on that server. But you could have that gameplay in any other server as well even on official maps yah feel me?

pipeline: run out of main ent, nade in hand, throw, get 2-3 kills
pipeline: run out of west door, to north, pre nade, get 2-3 kills
dont get me started on the vent rats.
ohhh the memories, sweet memories
I like that AAPG is not AA2, its 2015 i dont live in the past.
I just think we need more maps. NEW MAPS. and more players killing the same old clans and people get boring after a while hehehe.
'Almost' as dramatic as some of these forum disscusions lately.
