Hello all,<br><br>from my point of view you guys are talkin about two seperate issues ?<br>Tackling both i will at least hit one right topic =)<br>I think Stuart was talkin about the game client, if thats the case then maybe the auth. server "was" down<br>
and the game is far from burried because there are more servers ( honor) up and running then i can remember having seen<br>in the last years. Those downtimes take hours and are very seldom. Besides people started writing funny mods for classic maps<br>
( artillery , gravity , killing sprees and teleporters and what not ... )<br><br>I guess Ryans reply was about the linux server released with AA 2.5 which is unable to be seen when trying to go "global" right now.<br>
Some folks spend a huge time coding a GUI to help people play and host 2.5 servers : <a href="http://25assist.com/">http://25assist.com/</a><br>You will only "need" it for hosting global servers , and it will "help" you play the game of course you can still play without it.<br>
<br>Let's just hope the best for an AA 3 native linux/mac client. It has promising ideas, let's start a petition ? But i guess with <br>the army getting a big budget cut no extra money will be spent =(<br><br>--str<br>

Am I correct in assuming 2.5 (online) is dead and buried?<br>

The master server is gone; <a href="http://simplembs.armygame.com" target="_blank">simplembs.armygame.com</a> was pointing at my GoDaddy dedicated server, which has since been deactivated. It's fallout from not having the GameSpy license: I wrote my own master server to replace it, and the Mac and Linux clients talked to that instead.<br>
<br>
I could host the master server elsewhere, but I don't control the DNS entry, so it wouldn't help.<br>
<br>
Honestly, it's probably time to move on from ArmyOps, unless the Army decides to revisit it with 3.0.<br><font color="#888888">
