Stefan Fredriksson Posted August 17, 2002 Share Posted August 17, 2002 I downloaded the game. http://www.americasarmy.com Completed basic. And finally made it Expert Marksman, so I got to go to sniper school. Not much fun there, but you get to use sniper-rifles in-game. Multiplayer is a bit laggy for me, even though I am on ADSL.But gameplay is good.You only get one life in each game, no respawns. But games are only about 5-10 minutes long, and when you die, you can piggyback on the other players. If you like Delta Force and the likes - give this a try.

Archie Pellagio Posted August 17, 2002 Share Posted August 17, 2002 onsidering that the game is fnded by the US taxpayer, I doubt there'll be one somehow I can't be buggered downloading the sniper school, the game play is somewhat "odd", it seems to combine all the worst points of Operation flashpoint and counterstrike into one...

Stefan Fredriksson Posted August 19, 2002 Author Share Posted August 19, 2002 I am a keen DF-player, so I have problems with this one game/one life-concept so far.But still, I like the game. And - it is for free Stuart, I have no doubts new skins will start to show up soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gregory Posted August 20, 2002 Share Posted August 20, 2002 I've been playing for last week or so - any my conclusions is that this game calls for clan/squad play. Without effective communication between players, it devolves into standard mob runaround. However, when you get some moderately cluefull players who support you with fire and movement, it's a helluvalot of fun. Anybody want to try to do it sometime?

Burncycle360 Posted August 20, 2002 Share Posted August 20, 2002 Sure. Roger wilco will help ALOT with that since there's no in game voice communications (bright of them huh?) And if you guys notice, it's not user friendly to type stuff. Sometimes it doesne't "get" a keypress so "yur mesags shw p ike his" lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lentzner Posted August 27, 2002 Share Posted August 27, 2002 When are they adding the modules for KP, boot shining, blanket parties, cleaning your rifle to pass the Q-tip test, and D&C when the wet bulb is 99 degrees. If they want an accurate sim then these items are a must . (Fortunately, I don't have to play THOSE games anymore) Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefan Fredriksson Posted August 28, 2002 Author Share Posted August 28, 2002 He he, I guess they will come after they have lured us in with the "action"-part of being a soldier. A bit of warning about the update though!I downloaded it, but it messed the whole game up. So I had to download the complete game, 270mb, again.But then again, you will get v1.2.0And you can log in with your old account, and finished courses are still finished.

yuval Posted October 26, 2002 Share Posted October 26, 2002 they are miising all the fun of basic training (as one who did basic training fro real 3 times...). they don't make you hate your sargent, they don't let you running around with a broomstick when you do something wrong. they didn't get to make you think "why the hell did i join the army?!". that's lame http://63.99.108.76/ubb/biggrin.gif but i liked the ability to shoot with iron sights, it's very nice and quite realistic, although it's a bit different than the iron sights we have in the IDF, and ranges are different too... all in all a very cool gameif any of you are interested in playing against an IDF style oponent, just say so and we'll "take it outside" http://63.99.108.76/ubb/wink.gif have a nice dayyuval raz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, is there any word on the army aviation pack?Though odds on it would be a relatively dumbed down affair... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyber_Ghost Posted October 30, 2002 Share Posted October 30, 2002 Anyone qualified as sniper allready? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiemler Posted October 30, 2002 Share Posted October 30, 2002 I qualified as a sniper on the first day the marksmanship pack was available, quite some time ago. Opportunities to use either sniper rifle effectively are few and far between, but I've had some success with the M-24. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiemler Posted November 6, 2002 Share Posted November 6, 2002 The Army gets points for how they are countering this "criticism." Unlike in other shooter games, your actions in America's Army have consequences. If people weren't playing AA, odds are, they'd be playing Counterstrike, where the team 'defending' the hostages usually knifes them for kicks, and killing teammates is practically a tradition. This lawyer is using his clients' emotional anguish to take advantage of them. He's no better than the pump & dump stock swindle types, a white-collar criminal.

Archie Pellagio Posted November 6, 2002 Share Posted November 6, 2002 Now all they need to do is design a gun that you control with the mouse and ketboard I qualified for expert marksman (36/40) but haven't played it since then cos I forgot my password and changed e-mail addy's since, no way i'm oging through that torture again!

Just downloaded it last week and got expert marksman, but in the game I can't hit a guy 5 feet in front of me. The only few kills I've made are with granades and the few times I have time to lie down and use the iron sights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
