April 30, 200322 yr I can't cause of my dumb video card.And Mike, America's Army is nothing like Firearms, AA is all realstic, you can be killed in 1 shot(most of the time you are). Doesn't even look like Firearms.
April 30, 200322 yr I played it for a while..till I hated it...It's the only game where you can get killed by "Fragments of a Grenade" and it's most people with mgs camping and shooting each other.like on the bridge map or the night airborne assult...
April 30, 200322 yr servers are so bad its all sniping and spamming i give it one thumb up(for the graphix) and one down for the game play
April 30, 200322 yr -Kamikaze]Ok, guys, I'm gonna point this outit's based on actual warfareSO for crying out loud, during war, snipers wll camp in certain spots, and so will machine gunnersyou can get killed by fragments of a grenade (they are called FRAG grenades for a reason)and most often, you can and will be killed in one shotdon't like a game as realistic as this, then don't play itBesides, it's only a giant arse advertisement/recruiting tool for the Army Yes you said it yourself, "Actual Warfare" etc... This is just a game, its to have fun. And its not fun dieing in one hit. Knowing the difference between reality and just videogames is a big thing to know.
April 30, 200322 yr I don't like it...period.I did play it for a while..and it was fun! But I find that alot of players are getting access to this sniper hack which lets them use sniper rifle even if they didn't get into Sniper School...I would play it again if they made sp missions.and it does just put another option in the "All's fair in love and war...but this is a game" argument...
April 30, 200322 yr AA rocks when you are in a clan, have a clanserver and play friendly's or wars.Also do the regular update's rock (today the latest one... they try to give an update every month for the next 4 years) and the communication between the dev's and the players. (fe I have 4 dev's in my icq and talk often enough with them)AA is a completly different game from FA, much bigger, there is money involved, it was made to recruit American soldiers, made by the American Army, there are much more servers (around the 650 right now), much more players, way better graphics and a completly different game style.We have our own server, we joined the TWL (a ladder, same as clanbase fe) and already exist 10 months now as an AA clan.Our FA clan had 12 members and it took a lot of recruiting to find a new one if/when someone left... this one has 20 members and without recruiting we could easily have the double amount. (we are a Dutch speaking only clan)For us it rocks, for someone else it wouldn't.Thank god there are so many games and so many different likings.Things would be boring if or when everybody liked the same
April 30, 200322 yr Well i played for a little while and just hated it. Its a great game im just not a big fan of "Lets make it as realistic as possible". It needs to still be a game, or else its not fun anymore. Realism has a nasty habit of killing the fun element, for me anyway. My opinion, you guys are certainly free to like whatever you want.
May 1, 200322 yr The installer is a jerk/idiot.Everytime I DL it and run the .zip or .exe or whatever it is you DL, it runs the Soldat extractor, not the AA extractor... stupid AA.See... the Polish are trying to take over America!

May 2, 200322 yr http://militarysim.homelan.com/modules.php?name=Content&pa=showpage&pid=134A great site for downloads, questions etc.
May 2, 200322 yr what do you mean?All I know is that it up since the day AAO got released and the founder of that site is an old Dev (Skorzeny)a tiny part from my icq history:17-10-2002 20:13 Skorzeny: Get hooked up with Psicotic1, he runs the ladders on that site - he also works on the staff of www.militarysim.com (my site)17-10-2002 21:59 Skorzeny: Hey, how come you're not registered on the forums at www.militarysim.com ?It is quick updated, it got lots of information and the forums (with 279 Registered Users) aren't as huge as the official forums (with 83128 registered users)arf speaking of it, I have to register again (new url and new forum since I regged), haven't been much active at the AA forums during my FA fiasco.
May 3, 200322 yr It is a completly free to download game, made by the US Army as a recruiting tool.Almost every month a new update for 5 years in a row.The thing I like the most is that you have to complete a training before you can play.So no more questions online like: how do I prone, I do I use the parachute, how do I snipe, how do I cook a grenate?here the official site: http://www.americasarmy.com
