America's Army

[Copperhead]

I dowloaded the new version of America's Army yesterday and did the basic training etc. Then when i tried to login i realised i had forgotten my username + password. So i went on the site and went to register and it said it is closed or something.

Anyway, back to the point of this post.

Does anyone have any idea when the account services will be back up? My mate has the new America's Army and it is 1337, i love it and i want to play it at home.

Thanks for help

I've just signed up with a second account - so it is working.

What's so great about it vs the old version?

Well, there have been some tweaks... some balancing like no more nades on the hospital map. The Rate of Fire of the M4 is improved and the ROF of the RPK is a bit less to make it more like their real world couterparts.
There are two more maps, SF_Village and SF_Arctic. And of course it now uses the Karma engine for Rag Doll physics, so no more pre-scripted deaths...
I am sure I missed a lot of other improvements, the read me accompanying this patch was quite big...

Has it made frag grenades less lethal? Swear to God those things' huge killing range pisses me off to no end.

oh i like frags.
they work really good.
you get up and sprint and you still get killed.
thanks, dessa

actually, in real life they are even more lethal. I think it is good that a game simulates a frag properly, it IS something to fear. But in the new patch there are fewer frags.

At this time the authentication server is down and no one can log in or play. It might be up today it was down yesterday.

Good luck, just ask questions here in this thread or at http://forum.go-legion.com

Wich way do you take to get to the first point in the second special forces mission?
I suspect something when I crawl on slow speed and if I move 10 cm forward I'm detected without warning.

[Sjakihata]

ah man, it's so long since I did it, cant really recall the map. I think first point is around a guard tower, no? I remeber something about going UNDER a bridge.

I go to the left on the first fork. Never got farther, cuz I had to reformat my HD. >_

I finished it atlast but while playing online I found out something:
I SUCK AT THIS GAME http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif , so time to play until I get good.

Update:

Hmm playing pipeline isn't good I seem to lag a bit if an enemy is close = lethal problem http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/ceasarno.gif

Yeah I find Pipeline to be extremely laggy.
