I've played a lot of PC games first person shooters in particular, but Americas Army is the best yet IMHO.
They really paid attention to detail. When you do a tactical mag change you swap mags, but when you run your rifle dry you have to hit the bolt release after you change mags. The SOPMOD kits are really cool; the silencers make the rifle sound like a .22 (long) with the sonic crack and all. Even the Trijicon Reflex washes out against bright objects! LOL! Very realistic, from sounds to weapon behavior and tactics. This is the ONLY game that I've played where a nade sounds like a nade. Flash bangs really blind and disorientate you leaving you vulnerable. Your ears ring if you throw your frag’s or FB’s short. If you are an AR15/M-16 enthusiast and don’t have this game, GET IT NOW! AA Makes Counter Strike look like childs play |

I absolutely love that game too, but for some reason, after the last update a few months ago, I can't connect anymore. I've tried reinstalling and redownloading it and no go.

BF1942 rocks. Did you get the new DC 0.5L mod? What BF1942 servers do y'all play on? |
|
|
Ghost Recon with the IDF Patch is my Fav.
Desert Siege Islant Thunder and a bunch of Maps |
|
|
Talk'in about 2.0, it just came out. |
|
|
been playing on the EA philipines server since the last patch, other than that usually in Battle of Britain or an EA omaha server |

I think I know what your prob is: They have fairly recently upgraded the authetication servers... so you need to go to the AA site and go to the account section you need to update your account becauseit is probably expired... ALL accounts were expired unless you went in and updated your account after the upgrade there were several notices on the web page and on the game chat. You just udate your account they email you a new password then you can change your password to whatever you want and your good to go. If Im not complete on the process some of the others may beable to help you out. Se you all on AA ARFCOM-OregonShooter But Ive only got 1.9 it will take along time to upgrade with 56k. |
|
|
anyone know of a good ftp site to get 2.0 ?
those links from the AA website suck ass! |
|
Downloading it as we speak! I'm at 79% right now, running off of DSL. Let me tell you, it took nearly TWO HOURS - if you have dialup and want to download it, FORGETTABOUDIT.
|
|
I love the game, but I always get either 33-35 on the BRM so I can't be a sniper and I keep following the instructions for the the airborno live jump and I keep getting unsatisfactory. I'll never make SF
|
|
Well Duke Nukem I still can't do it. I've gone through every freaking walkthough and have probably spent more than a solid 24 hours on both qualifying to become a sniper and trying to become airborne. Hell, today my dad nicknamed me "Hobbit" since I refused to leave my room trying to qualify, which I wasn't able to do. If any members wanna do airborne training for me and possibly qualify for sniper training for me IM me and I will send you my account info. Yea its kinda cheating but damn I'm getting desperate.
Edited to add: Damn its annoying that kids who havn't ever gone through basic have higher honor than me. Cripes I did at least one push up for every second these guys played. |
|
I second what BoomStick says...anyone with an interest in AR15s and a decent computer should be playing this game.
If you've not learned them through regular channels, the tactics you learn are incredible. How about an AR15.com clan???? ;) |
|
Goddamnit. About 3 hours of wasted installation time...
Can someone give me the link to the download of this thing in an .exe file, possibly NONCOMPRESSED? If not, just give me a reliable link... Nothing I try seems to work. |

I'm AR-10B on AA.
Very cool game, although I haven't been playing it much lately. |
|
Oh yeah, my user name on AA is "MolonLabe". I get to explain what it means to lots of curious players-- I like that.
|
|
i'm game......we could stick [AR15] or =AR15= in front of our names |
|
|
Downloaded it at home but haven't had a chance to install it yet. How does it compare to Delta Force's BHD game?
|
|
You will wonder how you thought BHD was a cool game! WAY more realistic! |
|
|
My user name on AA is (guess) Blackdog714... I think forming a clan is a GREAT idea!!! I will add [ar15] to my user name! |
|
|
Have you played Basrah Nights yet? That map is awesome. I only play DC. After playing DC, BF42 feels so very slow. My clan tag is Ir8. I don't know if either one of the servers have been upgraded yet as a bunch of our guys went to AsylumLan this weekend. |

Yes, they paid a lot of attention to sound. The AA team was out at a lot of bases recording the sounds; some of the guys got a trip up to Fort Lewis. They've been doing some work with Lucas Arts, too. Some of the sounds from Minority Report were recorded from USMC LCACs.
Because of the playback limitations on sound equipment a lot of the sounds are mixed to make them sound more "real". The .50 cal has some howitzer sounds mixed in. |
|
I didn't get too much attention when I first posted about AA 2.0
Anyway, my ID is MaverickAR15 with honor 40 in AA. I mostly play SF CSAR...gotta love that KAC M4QD suppressor..only if I could have them in real life... |
|
Damn. According to the minimum system requirements, there's no point in bothering to download it. My poor P3 650 is a wuss. Time for a new machine.
|
|
Can someone provide a link that actually works ?
I'd like to download this game but I have no idea what this "Bit torrent" stuff is... A simple download site is all I'm after... |
|
www.3dgamers.com/dlexit/inspan/games/americasarmy/armyops200.exe.html
I'm getting a steady 140KB/sec from these guys and nothing to install or login necessary. |
|
Holy crapola !!! 650MB ?!?!?!? I'm only seeing a 91.0kb sec download rate... 2 hour download via DSL is HUGE !!! BTW... Thanks for the link ! |
|
|
Fileplanet.com is the best to download it. You may have to wait in line for an hour or so but the download speed is the best I've found so far.
|
|
I'm getting a steady rate of 150-160kB/sec. Not too shabby, but it still is going to take 1.5hrs.
3d Gamers is the bling. That link works, is a simple .exe file, and downloads without hitches. *knocks on wood* |
|
Hey, you guys ever take a few minutes to listen to the games theme music?
Makes me all swell up with pride! |
|
I love PC games (Falcon 4, MS CFS, Mech Warrior to name a few) but I can't get interested in FPS games that simulate doing something that I can do for real.
That said, you're right on about AA2. The amazing thing is it was created and exists as a recruiting tool that you get for free. |
|
Are there any of these games that are online interactive, yet designed smart? I play Medal of Honor online now and then, but I hate the game. There's no tactics involved in it, just people running around a mouse maze shooting each other in the back. I want a smart game!
Are there any online interactive FPS that are like this? Or at least not as bad as MOH? |
|
This is beginning to piss me off. Every time I try to install it, it claims that I'm missing a file.
Anyone else have this problem? |
|
Hey, I'll also add [ar15] to my name (shock_n_awe or shock_n_awe2) at the beginning. Maybe we can start posting strats in the Gaming forum. Hospital is a map I'm completely addicted to that would really benefit from good teamwork.
|
|
Well to all who can play.
Fell fortunate because of my Voodoo3 drivers I’m about to go Spec ops on my computer with real iron sight. SOB was working and now it just gives some farging error. Any help be very appreciated. Anyone know anything about Voodoo3 cards and win XP? |
