Where do you take your illusions from ?
Official AS support was pretty much dead even before the 1st bonus pack from Epic.

I have always intended to do AS for Unreal II / UT II and began some research into the problem and ideas for it. I even have the *cough* source *cough* and began to look at starting work on the project (as did GRZ).
But there exists one big problem. Building a straight AS conversion to U2 would be easy and wouldn't take too much time from a coding standpoint (although maps would still need to be developed). But would this work, and would people want to play it? I doubt it. A rehash of Assault with the new Engine and Weapons isn't gonna inspire much and with a new weapons set and gizmos designing maps is gonna be next to impossible since the currect weapon set isn't finalised![:\](/images/smilies/submitted/smark/ohwell.gif "Oh Well :\")
You could build maps based on the UT weapons but those maps would likely not play at all well with the new weapon set.
So whats needed is to build a complete mod, from the ground up with new map, mods, playing style and everything. All well and good when there are only 3-4 of us acutally supporting AS in any serious way. We have 1 coder (me), 3 mappers (GRZ, Opti & SteelHORN), and 1 modeller / skinner (Opti). To pull off such a project we would need at least another reasonably experienced coder, preferably another well experienced mapper and 2-3 modellers / skinners
Unless we can find more people to form a larger team to work on it, AS for Unreal / UT II is gonna have to wait until its released before work starts and we're gonna have to work something based on using its default weapons etc.

why new models ? If i read the thingie right it mentioned ctf as a game mode which means the standard models will have some way of displaying side. Most of us use the standard models now as it ? or am i being a stoned tit again ?
i think assault with new weapons and models will be fun I think ,you can discover many things and isn't it the adrealine that is pumping trough your vanes with assault. i think the spirit of assault will never die, cuz even I am trying to come back after 8 months of no connection.
