AAPG Is Out of BETA!

Does the server auto update Hoozey or is it manual?

Does that mean anything? Like... does anything change?

After only a few hours today I'm actually really impressed overall with the look and feel of the full version. There has been a aesthetic overhaul of most of the maps and in Downtown the BDX 6v6 south route has been introduced -this allows for better Defensive pressure on market with nades, it also makes it easier to sneak into the extraction half of downtown. There is the new Overload map which is MASSIVE that map could easily have 24 players per side but as players were getting a feel for the different areas it starts to compress in a map that is a cross of redline/coldfront/slums.

They have made the sounds "environment" awesome although the tone of most weapons is tinny soft - like the new flash sounds like a kids cracker but the enemy weapons are beefy.

The player interface, player labels are all cleaner and less arcade like similar to BF4 in look.

I LOVE THE NEW ENEMY WEAPONS!! wait I'm gonna say that again - I LOVE THE NEW ENEMY WEAPONS!!

Just like in 2.8.5 when you collected any enemy weapon you get the OPFOR equivalent of that enemies gun. In the words of Trigger today "Dat AK was PIIIIIMP"

After the whole BETA process I vote it has been worth it, if they can patch the sounds and GFX setting functions they got a good game.

I had fun anyway and our server is already rocking the new version;

I see your already kicking names and taking arses Rhas very nice!!


And last night I again did my please not bridge night on the Gun Runner server but noooo they had to make me play it. 50 lessons later ; ) inluding a choke hahaha!
*(I missed the screenie but here's the server history from the aapg site)

If we can get past the LAUNCHER / GAME JOIN issues I am having right now, I think the game itself works pretty well. But about 50% of the time when I join a server, I get no "join side" box. Hitting F2 (thanks all you helpful people) gives me the "join side" box but it has NO effect! I have to exit the server and come back to get a join box that works.

Of course, about 33% of the time when I exit a server and rejoin (or join another one) the game crashes.

Another 50% of the remaining times, it tells me I'm not logged into AA!

So it takes me, on average, 3 tries to get into ANY server.

Are you still running Vista Hoozey?

Of Course, Ras. Vista Business - it was free and I have install disks for it, so that's what I run. You know I'm too cheap to upgrade....
