| Americas Army too much for Steam
Have been playing the beta and very excited about the latest version, so pre-loaded it on Steam. Couldn't launch it today after several tries so deleted it to get it again....Steam server too busy....
Looks like it will be the weekend before I can play this jewel again....lol |

Damn, I've been playing to much Day of Defeat Source and ignoring everything else! Just noticed someone playing AA3 on friends then went to the store to get it, but it won't pre-load! 
Guess we're just gonna have to wait till the server load is down. |

I'll wait till tomorrow and hopefully servers are more open I am sure in a few days when more can download it and set up servers, etc. there will be 300+ servers soon considering it is free. Even pay-for games have many dedicated servers cause the ded-server software is often free. Just give it time.

Add to the fact that AA is a highly popular game that has been around for a long time now. I've been playing it since it's initial release off and on since 2002.
There will be plenty of servers in a few days. |

Downloaded it overnight, but the account creation screen seems to be hanging this morning. It appears old logins won't work, requiring a whole new profile.
Thats good, starting everyone off on a levle playing field.
Besides, from having played the beta, there is so much more to this new version that the most seasoned AA players should go through training again.
The maps, deeper gameplay and graphics make this game better than the previous versions and certainly some games we have to pay for!
I guess I can say goodbye to this weekeknd...lol |

Is there even a training transfer option?
I was under the impression you had to perform all the training over again as this is, in a way, a new AA game not like the previous versions.
I haven't been able to try the game out yet. |

I love it when people say the game is buggy or crappy but yet do not state what/why...
Explain your damn self!
Seems they were having issues with logins and I was unable to. Had to try the offline mode training. Seemed fine to me, but I do agree on one item, the graphics don't seem to be up to par on what they could be with the U3 engine. I set everything to max settings and I could still see jagged edges and other bland looking textures. Running it on a 4870.
Won't be able to judge other gameplay till I get logged in. |

i cant even load any maps or trainings, it just freezes. Windows event manager shows the game stops responding. i cant load any 3d content in the game besides the menus.
the menus looks pretty though...
UE3 engine hates it when you change the location of My Documents to a root HDD, so that could be the cause of my problems here. however i'm running the steam version and other UE3 games fail to save configuration files so it resets all settings every time you exit, which AA3 does not. all my settings stay put i just cannot load any maps or trainings.

The Devs were fired 1 day after the release of AA3 and all the maps that you knew in AA2 are gone in AA3.

Can't access the link in the last post from work, but having played the beta for the last month I can address the criticisms of the game in this thread.
The game isn't crap, the maps are well designed, the gameplay flows really well, the new more detailed medic aspect is a great idea and the different settings are refreshing in an era when everything seems to be based around Iraq or WW2.
Its true the training has jaggys, but those disappear in the actual game. Dont ask me why they would do it but thats the way it was in the beta. Graphics look sharp in the game, run smoothly and are night and day compared to the most recent versions of AA.
Atmosphere is amazing. An apache flies overhead duing one level, in another accidently brushing against a windchime in an abandoned greenhouse gives away any stealth advantage.
One of the most memorable moments for me was when we met the opposing force on a field of knee high wheat that was dotted with the big rolls of hay, bundled for collection. I would like to say my master plan was to go prone and take everyone out, but I dived when the bullets went flying, only to have some bad guys walk right towards and by me once the shooting died down. They couldn't see me in the high grass!!! Four kills later I went onto the objective.
Controls are well implemented with realistic time needed to perform different actions such as reloading..etc.
Sure there were some frustrating times due to the beta being I dont know...a beta but towards the end, everything seemed to work well. The training (when it worked in beta) adds a further dimension not seen in the most recent version of AA.
Agreeing with JIGA, if you don't like the game, at least say why. Seems fair and easy to me.
Also, final thought....its a FREE FREAKIN GAME...get over it. |
