AA used to be exceptional (3 years ago) when it was first released; however, over time it has shown its age. New releases like BF2, Doom 3, HL2, etc have all made it look a little old. The 2.5 version has seroius issues with lag right now and the DEVs are working on a server side patch to correct it and it should be ok after that...I played it last night after quitting in 2.4 cause of all the cheats and the lag just made in little but frustrating...
