Hi everyone,

Please look to see whether a question has already been asked.

Ben, do you ever think this game will gain at least half as much popularity as Minecraft?

Will the rifle's cone of fire be removed (not lowered, removed)? I think just about everyone is awaiting an answer to that question...

Edit:

Lol, two other people have asked almost the exact same question that I have. It was not an exaggeration when I said that the community is looking for an answer.

Mr. Aksoy, do you think in-game registration is very far off in the future, and when it happens, will it be a one-time payment of say, 5-10 dollars?

Coolface, what things do you have planned for this game? (Engine stuff, vehicles, weapons, features)

Do you ever intend on enforcing "this isn't a free Minecraft"?

Can we expect any more experimental changes to functions of current items in the game like with the rifle's accuracy?

Are you looking into an intel capture reward system? It would really increase the pressure to make it across the map.

If you adjust the rifle again, *can* the rifle's cone of fire be removed (not lowered, removed)? Or is it intrinsic to the new weapon code to always have some sort of cone of fire?

Will there ever be servers with more than 32 players?

Blue or Green?

When can we expect a more user friendly map editor?

Mr. Aksoy, What were you thinking about future developments to the game? Do you envision things such as an array of weapons, melee weapons, improved textures and the like?

In your wildest dreams how do you picture the game in its perfect state?

Do you ever plan to have acquaintances in development?

Do you plan of having two layers of png (smg or semi) files where the front layer would stay still and the back layer would delay slightly so that it was as if there was the front of the gun and the back instead of a still image?
Also do you have any ideas for making a reloading animation, maybe a stop motion vedio which would run throough several kv6 files?

I have two, both already asked: Can we please lose the cone on the rifle, and can we please get e-mail registration?

I know were not supposed to comment on others so i will ask a question as well.
Winston, we can already do that when making the graphic, people just choose not to. You can make a layer under your scope and put the barrel there lined up under the firing point.

My question
As it has been stated many times, its important. Do you plan on giving us email registration to cut down on a ton of issues?

Will there be semitracer.kv6 and smgtracer.kv6? It would make the game a bit more moddable.

I have a few;

- Will there be support in the future for variable times of day/weather for maps?
- Is there a possibility of having asymmetrical map edges? (ie the map maker could make the map larger than the map boundaries, and this would remove the "mirror" effect we get at map edges that make maps like D-Day ugly at the edge)
- Will there be support for different sized maps? (Smaller/more tactical, Larger/open warfare)
- Are there any suggestions from the community that you especially like/may implement or test for feasibility?

Devbossman, what is your take on vehicles and will we have them? Also, do you plan on having things like killstreaks?

Last one, do you see artillery, mortars, HMGs, and others like that coming into the game?

To be, or not to be?

Ben,

This game is still in beta, so what do you envision to "final version" to be like.
What DO YOU want to add to the game to get it to its final release?

And do you have an estimated time of arrival for a "final release"?

Thank you,

- D.E

Do you plan on any BIG updates anytime in the near future?

I would like to help out with the AoS community and game by providing media support. I am at a professional level with After Effects, Photoshop, Blender, 3DS Max, etc. I have sent out a application to your email, not sure if you received it yet. I would look forward to helping developing the website and such. I would look forward mostly to making a official AoS promotional video.

Has it been stressful working on the AoS project? Are you satisfied with the result that came out?

Will there ever be a ingame server list with easy nick change?
Also,will there ever be a singleplayer campaing with AI's?

which gun will you put in .55?

Really appreciate this, thankyou. My question is about Autoclimb. Can we have an option to disable it?

the only ways to get points right now is to get intel or kill people, will there be any more ways in the future.

HOW ABT A SECONDARY, WEAPON, A SMOKE GRENADE , VEHICLES ?
