Americas Army.

[Dutch_guy]

Well I've just DL it, and finished the training levels fairly easily.

And have now started my first online battles, honor 10.

I must say the battles are a lot of fun, especially if you can coordinate your moves with your team, you always see the guys who go solo getting shot while walking head long to the enemy position...

I too had to learn that the hard way

So far I haven't killed any team mates yet, have been the victim of a TK once - a badly times grenade.

Overall the attitude on the chat is Ok, you get the usuall stupid people who shout noob, and f*ag alot.
Too bad, but you always can expect those type of people..

Anyway, have any Orgers Dled the game?

If so what are your AA names, and are you op for a match, we can even make a clan - or something like that ;)

Could be lots of fun

[Craterus]

There's a few threads on this game already. Check back a few pages. One of the threads is about 3 pages long.

[Dutch_guy]

yes, I know the exact thread you are talking about , come to think of it.

Though that thread is really outdated, and the persons who replied in that thread - aka who played MP - probably don't do so anymore after such a long time.

A fresh thread concerning AA seemed like a better idea.

[Craterus]

Fair enough. Is the latest version of AA still 2.4?

[Dutch_guy]

The latest version is 2.5.0

So you'd need to patch it up, if your still running 2.4

[Craterus]

I'm not running anything. I uninstalled to make space for BI. Which kinda takes the mick, cos BI doesn't work.

[Husar]

Don´t forget to register here.

And this is me. I know Sjakihata plays as well, but I leave it to him to reveal his account.
Concerning a clan, I´m not interested at the moment, there are just too many choices, so I chose to choose none.

[Dutch_guy]

Yeah, well, the clan remark was of course nothing more than a speculation on my part.

knowing that I'd like to learn to play the game a little better before I commit myself to a clan- or something like that.

But anyway, do you still play Husar ?

[Sjakihata]

I have now played this game for more than 2.5 years. So I know my way around. Im honour almost 83 ;)

check all my stats here: http://aaotracker.4players.de/usertr...p?userid=69787


Right now Im in a regiment called PARA - you are welcome to join up check here: http://www.parachute-regiment.co.uk/

Any questions - ask away. Oh btw, you CAN go solo and get a lot of kills.

check out this screen shot.




Im called PTE-Skafsgaard[PARA. You'll see I have 210 points under enemy - mean 21 kills and -10 in KIA, means one death. So while I killed 21 enemies during those seven rounds, I got wasted once. Some have even crazier pics. Also note the honour points of the opposing side, it's not low so they are talented players.

[Dutch_guy]

That screen is Impressive Sjakihata, very nice.

So, I do have a question , are you more of a rusher or a ''camper'' - not the literal meaning of the latter.

And what does being a SF soldier ( honor level 15 ) add to your experience, or how does it benefit your combat skills -if it does.

thanks

[Somebody Else]

I still play, on occasion (though, now I've got quite a lot on my plate, and don't often have time). Look for Nobody_Important online.

I'm not quite as good as elf-boy over there, but I know which way to point a rifle...

[Dutch_guy]

Oh and Sjak.

What's in your opinion the best weapon mod, that you've made.

Just reached honor 15, so I can finally mod my weapon.

[Sjakihata]

That screen is Impressive Sjakihata, very nice.

Thank you!

So, I do have a question , are you more of a rusher or a ''camper'' - not the literal meaning of the latter.

My playing style very much vary - depending on what map I play. On CSAR it can be good both to camp, or play carefully. It is also smart to rush as well - and avoid the initial spam firing.

And what does being a SF soldier ( honor level 15 ) add to your experience, or how does it benefit your combat skills -if it does.

First of all, it allows you to play as teh special forces, that uses the M4 SOPMOD. Some maps are only for SF players. Other than that - nothing really.


My best mod is this:

Acog x4 or Aimpoint (for smaller maps)
M203 grenade
Silencer

[Sjakihata]

bump

[Dutch_guy]

I have found the weapon mod you postes to be very effective Sjakihata.

And I'm making sure I always get teh ''c'' slot. ;)

ANd also, which map is your favorite, as in best kill ratios and / or on which you've made the most hours.

[Sjakihata]

Maps

Hour wise it is:

SF Hospital 283 hours
MOUT McKenna 209 hours
Pipeline & Pipeline SF total 104 hours
SF CSAR 88 hours
Urban Assault 41 hours

My favorite maps right now are:
SF CSAR
Urban Assault
McKenna
SF Sandstorm



I don't really like the new maps...

[Dutch_guy]

Hospital ( SF ) is my favorite at the moment, it seemes easy to get experience in that level.

And I try to stay away from Urban assault, to much nade spamming for my liking.

And also , which maps are new ? ( I have no idea since I've started playing when it was 2.5 )

[Alexander the Pretty Good]

Bah. I had AA 2.1 or something. Took days to DL (had to try multiple times because it kept corrupting! ).

Maybe by next year I'll have this one DL'd.

[Dutch_guy]

Which server were you using to Download it Alexander ?

I got in in an hour or 3, after switching server a couple of times since some servers required membership, donations, or were just to darn slow.

[Alexander the Pretty Good]

I dunno, it was probably a year ago or something.

Looking back at the AA site DL links, I think I used "SeeMePlayMe."

And the DL speed isn't only on their side. My family has DSL, which is split over a router so me, my brother, and my dad can share it with the main PC.

I did enjoy AA, so maybe I'll give it another go sometime.

[Craterus]

I'm gonna re-download over the night. Any recommendations where I should download it from?

[Sjakihata]

Full 2.5.0 version: http://aaotracker.4players.de/downloaddb.php?file=122

[Alexander the Pretty Good]

Meh. DL'd (4 hours!) and installed. Tried a little action but way too laggy and load times took too long. I think it must be running a million side processes or something.

Gah.

Back to True Combat: Elite.

[Sjakihata]

Must be your pc - it works for 3 million other perons

[Alexander the Pretty Good]

I guess, but 2.1 or 2.3 worked for me too.

[Dutch_guy]

Alexander, try setting details to a low setting, also you'd might want to turn blood off, maybe that'll help.

[octavian]

i play AA :D never bothered to qualify SF cause i dont get to play much and when i do i just wanna play. look for -=octavian-II=- online :) im usually playing pipeline

oct

[Fragony]

AA is fun, but it is Rainbow Six lite imvho, it is a decent squad based military shooter but it lacks realism and the need for tactics. Worst of all is far ranged combat as the engine blurs what's before you, fun but no keeper.

[aw89]

I have played this game before, i have just updatet the game again to infact.
Any tips on the SF field training? (Sneaky one)

[Sjakihata]

AA is fun, but it is Rainbow Six lite imvho, it is a decent squad based military shooter but it lacks realism and the need for tactics. Worst of all is far ranged combat as the engine blurs what's before you, fun but no keeper.

I disagree strongly with all of that. The engine doesnt blur - but in some maps fog has been put there, to balance the game. Because the snipers would be too effective at some maps. Try playing bridge SE or SF Recon - you'll notice there's not smoke.

AA is nothing like rainbow six - so much different. In a unit/clan you can use succesful tactics.
