Americas Army is now -snipped-


Recommended Posts

Ahh, so that's why it's free.

that and because you cannot purchase something built by the government. It's against US Law.

Training ffs, training.

Special ops training !  :angry:

E & E was the first attempt at real AI in the game. Don't blame it becuase its not absolutely perfect. It took me 4 hours to accomplish the mission and I tried really hard. So you can't say the AI is horrible.

The DoD and DoA have stated many times that this game wasn't meant for recruiting purposes; no matter how good a geek can be in a game, would he really do well in the actual battlefield? My guess is a big fat no.

So, ruling out that possible reason for the development of this game, my only guess is that the Army uses the results from certain games/missions for gathering intel on how participants react to certain situations. Seeing how some players, be it a geek or army personel with actual training, end up at the end of a round would provide a ton of stats that the Army could use in some way. Don't ask me how.

My $0.02.

Great game though; always tough at first (maybe tougher than others due to ROE and closer realism), but thats the way any game is at first. This is one of the few games where I can go and play and have a great day one day, and a horrible day the next; great replay value.

i doubt it's used as a tool. i thought it was a marketing tool, to bring attention/possible recruits to the army.

although, yeah, you could use the stats to learn about people. like, they say you can't really get better at golf by playing links or tiger woods, however, you can train yourself mentally, by making the right choices in the right situations.

Funny you should mention that on my way to getting the patch I found this

It's not funny at all. whats funny is that you're making something of nothing.

What you're looking at is for the cd material. If you cannot download it yourself. the game is free. All your paying for is shipping and handling.

You can go to your local best buy and pick the game and walk out with it. its Free.

What patch are you looking for? the 2.0 --> 2.0a Patch?

or the 1.9 --> 2.0a Patch?

job? no when they'll pay me then it'll be a job. 'til then I want a marker on a minimap!

stop crying and go find another game then. This game aims at realism. When you are out in the field in real life, you do not have a little flasher pointing out what your team mates mean when they say where they are.

I remember playing the 1.0 version on my system and couldn't make it through the training because my video card wasn't up to speed. I have a Radeon 9600 Pro and I'm wondering if the 2.0 verison is worth playing. The special ops sounds pretty cool.

Are there a lot of SP missions? I'm all for MP but I tend to play SP a lot more.

if you were playing @ version 1.0 then 2.0 will be a nice welcome for you.:yes::

America's Army doesn't have any Single Player Missions. America's Army tries to teach teamwork. This game is a MP only.

We have 5 Current Special Forces Maps

Pipeline SF (SF Exclusive, Stop the Oil Supply by shutting down 3 Maintence Valves or Shutdown from Main CP)

SF SandStorm (Indentify the 3 Explosive boxes)

SF Recon (Protect the 3 Viewpoints from Enemy Breach)
