Moooo`s at Caracol!! :m00:

Yeah it is very much still alive, it`s not what it used to be but we still have great fun with the game.

But you gotta deal with the fact that it is mostly the fi community that runs the show now a days.

Its about time you guys stop playing aq2 and let it rest in peace.
AQ2 is what, 12-13 years old, in dog years thats like 65 years old, perfect age for retirement.

Yeh, I think the same, the chilean community is also in its last breaths, most big clans are retiring or have already retired and "quality" gameplay is long gone.

(I still have my 5GB AQ2 folder though...)

For me AQ2 will never die. I love the game. :)

There must be plenty of neat features to code. Achievements, facts at the end of a game about best/worst players, highlight the last frag of a round.

Nom nom! :hop:

After a small break, AQ2 tastes good again.. But it is not the same!
Would be interesting to play in a multigaming-clan thou, that plays AQ2 to keep the option open! (Join Cups if arranged and cw's if people are up to it).

WizardExt suggestion of Achievements would get oldschoolers to play for awhile at least. Most cool thing would be that Players would be graded according to their achievements.

Like I remember this fine day playing pier on public, got 3x Excellent! (36 frags without death). That's probably my greatest achievement in fragging without dying. 8D

But it would go like, Achievements by map, by type of kill etc.

Humiliation Achievement after gutting 10 persons or so
Super Achievement after 30 persons. Just to keep it like, going and going so some just might hunt for these achievements to keep to scene active ;)

But all the amazing coders have probably gotten a job, wife and kids!

Jump achievements on maps could be nice also, but I think it would be hard to implement to the current server codes. But Location Achievements is possible, if forexample, urban3 you grenade jump to the highest roof you would get something like "HEY HOW DID YOU GET UP THERE?"-Achievemnt ;)

Yea Yea, AQ2 lives for now but suffering.

They should make a AQ2 Team deathmatch mode.


like CTF. when u die u wait 3 ore 5 sec then respawn @ other site of the map. (dependances on how big the map is).


total frags team 1 totalfrags team 2. the team with best score wins :).

achievement should be recorded @ a stats page ore something.

so if we have any money it is no problem. :).

minch :/ it is pretty much dead :(
aq2 will always be the most enjoyable game to play nevertheless!
there would be needed new people to increase the community, and some changes to the game itself, since it's very old, but unfortunately, all of the ppl who could do them don't give a flying fuck about it anymore :(

would still be nice to have a lan every once in a while with the ppl we met from aq2 !

i'll always love this game, <3
