Anyone play it?

I do... and I absolutely love it.

Well anyway, for those that do play it, have you tried the new maps released today?
I've only played Border and for the most part, I think it's excellent. Reminds me of SF Recon w/o SF weapons, and during the daytime... and overall just better. lol

I haven't had a chance to play Dusk just yet, though. And Authorization is down currently so I can't play it. :(
Boo.

Anyway, I hope I'm not the only AAO player here in Hardforum... am I? :(

The name's [1stSOG]-18th, by the way. :)

Also, please avoid all the "the game sucks because it's a brainwashing tool by the Army" crap. K thx.
 
i havent played in so long... i stopped playing because I couldnt play the bad guys... just the side of the USA.. bah hum bug
 
I quit because of the lag. I never once found a game where people weren't teleporting all over the damn map.

That's exactly why I never played the game for more than a few hours. You had to do that laser tag training or whatever, and every single server playing that map that was less than 200 ping was full and every other server was like 300+ latency.
 
I haven't played since I wiped my HD, the release of 2.6 enticed me to play again, as I'm downloading it now. I'm not very good though.
 
I won a gaming tournament in Americas Army... I got an Athlon XP3200+ when they first came out :D
 
I quit after the 2.4 patch, I don't like the way the text looks anymore :p

I got bored with it online, way to laggy.

I'm not a fan of the army but regardless, I believe its the best use of tax money to date. :D

Anyways, I haven't played this game in ages. Last time I played was when it first launched. I used to play with a friend from high school. I think I just gave up on it because my system sucked at the time and I couldn't deal with the load times. I was running a Pentium III 800 MHz with 128 MB and a GeForce 4 MX w/64 MB. I spent like half the game waiting for maps to load, so I went back to Unreal Tournament.

Nice! :)

And for the others that commented, the lag issue is pretty much gone, should you find a stable server (most are).

I'd say 1 out of like 25 servers are laggy, but the rest (especially after the patch) are running very smooth.

You guys should try it out again. ^_^
 
Aye aye...

Will queue it once i get home...remember having quite a fun time with that game. :)
 
Me and my friends would hop on all the time and do some killer team matches, while shouting at each other from accross the room. It was a blast... then we all had to go and get married and have kids :p
 
I am a big fan of the game and play it regularly when I'm home - but I'm in Iraq right now. I won't be able to play with my clan for at least 6 more months. I'm glad to hear that they have released more maps though.
 
If I play an online shooter, it is AA. I joined a looong time ago, but dont play much anymore, yet I still believe it is hands down the best shooter for the PC.

With that said, I havent had the chance to play yet, had classes last night till around 9, and was dead tired so I downloaded the update and went to bed. Will definitely be checking htem out this weekend.
 
I never got into it. Like others have said, it was the Mount. training that did me in. I never got passed that...I wanted to though.

lol c'mon it's really not THAT hard.
 
I play it frequently, had been testing 2.6 for a few weeks now, its nice being part of a clan that gets to participate in the open Betas. I have yet to play the released version of 2.6 I had to work too late last night.

I have been playing since like 1.1 or 1.2 or something back then. Its actually the only game I play. I bought BF1942, and wasn't impressed, and I am a tight wad, and dont like spending $50 a game, this one is free, and is pretty nice.

Man, that training was a bitch, I got through it but it was so laggy on my system, I have no idea why :(, The sound was all fucked too so I could not hear the lessons, i could not answer questions because of that. I finished it though by getting answers through a friend :( . Then I got CSS and forgot about the game, now i have a horrifying internet, I might as well fire it up agaion when I start payign for internet again this June, will need it for colelge :(.

Awesome. :)

Unfortunately, the AA team doesn't trust us SOG's with beta releases just yet. :(
Oh well. lol
I guess it's because we're still very active in the TWL ladders + leagues (#14 clan on TWL, baby!), and we need to have the current version...

...and your name rings a bell. Hmmm...
Are you an IC frequent?
 
I downloaded 2.6 today and gave it ago. I didn't check out the new maps too much, didn't have a lot of time, but I'm sure i will get around to it this weekend.

I used to play the game quite a bit durring the 1.8-2.2 versions. I thought the game got much better after the Special Forces release. I just sort of drifter off into Battlefield land though, playing hardcore BF 1942, BFV/PoE, and then BF2. I think I tried to get my clan back into AA for awhile, no success with that though.

Hopefully once they drop the new engine in and add vehicles (they are still planning that, right?) I will manage to get back into it heavily. My best guess is that these two new maps will keep me playing for all of a week or two :)
 
games too hard to get into imo, everyone else has been playing so long that its hard to come in new and not die in like the 1st 2 minutes of every round.
 
Used to have a Special Forces account - passed all the tests and earned enough honor to be SF. I recently tried to play again but i cant figure out my name/pass and im not going to go through sniper training again..

its not that hard for those of you who say you die in 1-2 min you just have to get used to how you play it. Its not like CS where you run and gun.

lol
My clan and I TRIED moving to BF2 but.. with no luck. BF2 was fun and all but I still feel it's an incomplete game with all the bugs and such. Especially when it was first released. Jeez!!

But yeah...
Overmatch (the vehicles release) is still planned for version 2.7, release later this year. :)

While 3.0 is supposedly when they're moving to Unreal Engine 3... SUPPOSEDLY.

Thanks 18thletter for reminding about AA....remember having quite a bit of fun...and with my new rig, should be even better...:D
 
Awwww man. I've been playing since 1.1, but I can't play here at college because of my shitty laptop. :( :( :(

Maybe during springbreak, I'll bring my regular comp down here.

I was a hardcore AA player up until BF2 came out and I haven't played AA since. I need to patch up and have it a go. I haven't played computer games though since I got my Xbox 360. :( I just don't have time to play anything anymore it seems. Oh well LAN party coming up 1 week from Saturday should be fun. I need to brush up on my skills.

It's a completely free, realistic FPS for the PC.

It can be found for download at http://www.americasarmy.com

:)

EDIT: It was originally on a heavily-modified Unreal engine, but was moved to the Unreal 2 engine recently.

its a 100% free propaganda tool from the US Army based on the quake II engine (right?)

Wow... dude it might be propaganda but at least it's enjoyable. On a side note only idiots would join based on this game alone. It runs on the Unreal 2 engine :rolleyes:
