Very grateful for the Info, Hooah, but remember it's a closed beta. If you had to agree to an NDA then don't share too much.

That aside, how do you like the game? Is it fun? Is there anything about multiplayer that you can share?

ooo thanks Monk. i forgot about the NDA.
i actually havent gotten up to the multiplayer yet, but i assure you i will soon.
since there was training excercises in AA2 i think its ok to disclose the info on the training, right?
anyhow, Rainbow 6 Vegas is coming in the mail today, and since my internet connection isnt the best at times, i think ill be preoccupied for the next week until the full version of AA3 goes live.

Probably going to try this, kind of not expecting much atm though.

ok, AA3 has been released, but there is such a mad rush for it, the servers are clogged...
and even though i preloaded it, i cant play it.

Playing now however the auth servers are completely screwed up.
They hardly work.
I just passed the markmanship training and now the auth server is screwing up and looks like I have to do it again.

Edit: Ok, seems my score for the obstacle course didn't count either despite the server actual went through. So I have to complete that one again as well.
And this is just gold, I can't even exit the game because of the auth server.

to quote the AA team:

As we counted down to this release at 3PM today, none of us could have imagined the incredible number of players who would try to download and install this game at the same time. Due to this massive number of simultaneous connections, we're having some trouble keeping up with the demand.

This is also placing a tremendous load on our Authentication Servers, which may temporarily be causing some gameplay performance issues.

That's the bad news.

The good news is that absolutely everyone here at the Army Game Project, and our Partners, are working to resolve this problem, and you should see an increase in both accessibility and gameplay performance very soon. Once the load balances out a bit, both these elements will improve dramatically.

We are grateful for the overwhelming interest shown for America's Army 3, and we appreciate your patience. All issues will be resolved as soon as possible.

If you have issues or concerns, please email our Community Managers at aacm@americasarmy.com.

Thanks,

America's Army Game Project
