Anyone tried America's Army ?

[LightBred]

Thanks for your replies folks, I've had a go at the rifle training but boredom got the better of me, still have more training to contend with . . . some other time perhaps ! :cry:

hope you got advanced marksman, it's boring not having the sniper rifles. if you didn't go back and get it, it's worth it for the rifles.

well, in my opinion, i kind of enjoyed playing AA (even though it was years ago) if you like infantry battles the nits for you, but it does take a while to get to the online stuff and LightBred is right, snipers do make a difference ^^ but for me it's BF2 andCoD4 mainly because of the graphics and intense gameplay that they both deliver, but the choice is up to you

I scored 37/40 once I'd figured out how to fire single shots and not bursts of 3 rounds,there was mention of sniper training, that might be something to look forward to then.

I've recently been playing as either sniper or special forces on BBUK's BF2 rotational map server, sniping is good fun until the enemy commander pummels you with the artillery. :cry:

the SF test is the hardest, everything else is pretty easy.

3.0 when it comes out will put AA somewhere towards the top again.

The sf training was a complete *****.

America's Army is the last true game of our time. An inspiration to us all.

I take AA3 will be more of a CS/CoD4 kinda run n gun game. I hope it won`t but prolly will.

Been playing since 2.4 I believe. I've never actually passed the shoot house, I just did it before you needed to get 10k points to pass. :p And the rifle range was noobed down in 2.8 I think.

The gameplay is slow but pretty good, SF Hospital is fun even if you're limited to IF. You learn to be careful after a few rounds, and imo the learning curve is easer than PR.

I doubt it. AA has always been realistic, not like CS. Try suggesting that on the AA (official) forums and see what replies you get. :)

SF hospital is a really fun map,enjoyed it lots.

[Irish Freedom]

me too, enjoyed it lots. LOTS

Except when your VIP is stupid and kills himself by falling off the 2nd floor into that operating room with windows above it.

If you can't be bothered to complete the training you can use the new feature that they added in, in the most recent patch. The feature is called: Instant Action. It allows you to play in a server with other people without having to do the training, but once you reach to honor 20 you have to complete the training in order to go into higher honor levels. I do agree the SF training was hard on the first try, but now its a piece of cake, and for the medic tests etc, just google: America's Army Medic Answers and you should easily find the answers. Lol, thats what I did.

I know, but the latest few patches have been making the game faster.
That, plus the WC servers which are nothing more than de_dust with a different setting makes me hope for the worst. Last time I saw anything tactical in a pub was 2.1.
Even I play it like CS and successfully.

My goal in life is to get to 100 honour by playing WC and WC only. I could whore it up on hospital but that`s not fun. I think there are only 2 or 3 guys who have managed to reach 100 by playing only WC.

[Wizrdwarts]

WC? Some acroym I don't know about?

Yeah and I agree, the bipod animation speeding up was needed, but the reload speed now looks stupid and was unnecessary, keep one round in the chamber and you won't need a faster reload.
And the M249 reload looks really weird now.
