Americas Army is now -snipped-

Yes pretty much. Like the two SF training levels, if you don't pass them you can't play SF maps online. As with the medic training, if you don't pass it you can't play a medic class.

after reading this thread, i decided to download the game and give it a try. well I tried to join a game only to find out I needed to do training. ok no prob. I went and did most of the training. Boring but looked nice. So then I went to go play again...

long story short, after 4 days of trying to connect to different servers, any game I try to join gets me either 1) you need more honor 2) you need more training or 3) connection reset

I'm sure its a great game... it looked nice in the training but unfortunately thats all i ever got to see. it shouldn't be so difficult to just join a damn game to actually play. Uninstalled. have fun guys!

Spyder You need to login every time you start the game, unless you put a dot in Remember UserName/Password.

What happends is the game authenticates your login and username against the master server to retreieve your information (returns honor level, and training completed and your name) which tells the game what maps you've succesfully trained for and what you can and cannot play. That and not enabling punkbuster or having an outdated punkbuster will not let you get on either. This is a problem sounds like its on your side.

You must complete all of Basic Training to sMarksmenship, Obstacle Corse, US Weapons and MOUT Training.g. Then you can play the most basic of maps like such as Bridge. If you want to play maps like Radio Tower and Weapons Cache you must pasAirborne Training.g. A min honor of 15 is required to play as SF after you have completed both SF Training and Airborne Training. It is recommended that you do all the training to be able to get to all maps. I really would like to get you to play.

Contact me via MSN if you still want to get going. This game is g(Y)t. (Y).

Thanks for the explanation. Just to show you why I was frustrated...

First things I did upon installing the game:

1) I checked the remember username/password so it logged in every time i started the game

2) I enabled punkbuster

3) I completed all of basic training. I made sure my results were uploaded every time.

When I got the More training needed message, hell I even went and completed the parachuting and did some of the medic one. I even did the first one of the last training one, dont remember what it was called. Uploaded all results.

Reason I went through all the training is because thats all I could play. Attempting to connect to any server got me 1 of the 3 messages I listed in my other post. I don't see how the problem could be on my end. I did everything you outlined in your post just now.

It just felt far too time consuming to even be able to play a game. The game looks pretty but training is boring.

I'd really like to get me to play too. I sure as heck tried. I've burned it to CD so maybe I'll reinstall and drop you a message.

If the post comes across badly, I apologize. Just remembering it has got me frustrated again. Thanks for offering help.

You should have looked via All Seeing Eye and join a MILES server...

Elite LiveFire servers have a 25 honor limit, maybe you were trying to join one of those :o

Off-topic: On the AA FAQ, it said "NO OPENGL SUPPORT". However, in the ArmyOps.ini file, there are little parameters that looks like it is for OpenGL, like OpenGLDrv.blah blah blah

So, can I do this:

Change from:

RenderDevice=D3DDrv.D3DRenderDevice

;RenderDevice=Engine.NullRenderDevice

;RenderDevice=OpenGLDrv.OpenGLRenderDevice

to this:

;RenderDevice=D3DDrv.D3DRenderDevice

;RenderDevice=Engine.NullRenderDevice

RenderDevice=OpenGLDrv.OpenGLRenderDevice

and have AA run correctly

I hope you were joining an official server :D

MILES servers have the name "Training" in it, e.g. U.S. Army Official E Training 077. If you get over 15 honor, you cannot join MILES servers.

Elite LiveFire servers have the name "Elite Live-Fire" in it, e.g. U.S. Army Official E Elite Live-Fire 078. You must have at least 25 honor to play in this one.

Regular official servers like U.S. Army Official W 123* doesn't have an "honor" limit, e.g. anyone can join.

Spyder there are 4 types of servers. 2 of which you can gain honor from.

Official Army Server (Honor)

Leased Official Server (Honor)

Leased Server (No Honor)

Unofficial (No honor)

then there are subsets

Live Fire, MILES, Training and ELITE.

Live Fire servers are basically every server except if its marked as MILES. Live Fire is basically the use of live ammo and you kill your enemy.

MILES Server is basically Laser Tag. Instead of Live Fire you play with a Laser and the game beeps when you hit an opponent. When you "TAG" your enemy he doesn't die, instead he removes his helmet and sits on the ground.

Training Servers are for users of 15 honor and less. Usually the map used for this is the MOUT McKenna Training Map.

Elite Servers require a min of 25 honor to enter. This can be designated to any map. All Elite Servers have "Elite" in their discription.

thanks man. i couldn't figure the shiz out on my own. i ran the runserver.bat, and i figured out how to get to a console, and i figured out how to connect to my own server, but then i was just stuck as a spectator and didn't know what to do from there. keep in mind i haven't played any part of this game yet, this is my total first time.
