Is this game still popular?

As the title says, "Is AA still popular?" I had not played in probably a year and had thoughts of redownloading it and maybe playing some. I am just unsure cause I never see any real post in the AA forums for TG.

At one point we had maybe 15+ AA players and we would have some sweet rounds friday nights. Then they started to mess with the stability of the game and server installs. We started to loose a few players a week and most of us tried to stick it out, but it was jsut to much crap to even be worth it.


Its a great game. We could get some CSS like rounds going and really make it fun. If they woudl fix things and admit they borked it up i for one would gladly come back to play.

This game always appealed to me because it was realistic and free (as in beer). I'll be happy to download it again if anyone wants to get a game going some time. Warning: I suck at this game more than I do even in CS:S, so playing with me isn't going to be very fun.

It's a great game and they're constantly improving it (although dl mirrors suck, ahem!) I usually fire it up every couple of weeks.

Ednos, please advise on location of realistic and free beer, standing by for the standby.

"Free as in beer" is a figure of speech used in reference to software. "Free as in freedom" software is software you can obtain the source code for; "free as in beer" software is software you are not required to pay for.

Actually, it's "free, as in speech". Straight from the GNUs mouth.

Back on topic, though. AA is probably one of the best games in line with the TG mission statement. Realism nights were totally awesome! Too bad the coding doesn't quite live up to the promise.

Re: Is this game still popular?

Well, if not many are playing this game then I do not think it worth the effort of downloading it. I had heard they made some improvements since I last played, which I think that was v2.5 but could be wrong. I stopped playing at an honor level of 40 or somehwre around there and I checked my account about a month ago and it is still active.
