Heh, let me guess... Counter-Strike fan? Yeah.

If you want a realistic game where you can travel with tact in groups, watch your teamates back while they complete objectives (or the other way around), help your teamates and earn just about everything you get, America's Army is the game for you.

If you want fast-paced action where you simply grab a gun and charge through levels killing everything that moves and rack in the points, you'll hate it.

You can play it, as Iv played that with people from all over the place. You may lag some, as the servers are in the US, but you should be okay.

Ok now that I've got that cleared any ideas on how to make it download faster?

This is taking forever for me to download:(

It's okay. Not much fire fights here and there. No Run and gun.

You start off by doing some training. Practice shooting, moving, parachuting, sneaking, driving, blowing up tanks and such.

You'll need to pass certain tests to get certain maps or gun.
E.g. You need to score a certain amount of hits in the Rifle Test to be able to qualify for the Sniper Tests.
E.g.2 You'll need to pass the medic exam to apply for a medic in battle.

Test are based be how well you play and how well you know/remember stuff.
Get this much points to pass.
Get this much right answers to pass.


Games are mission oriented; you go to point A, do this at point C, etc.
Or
Prevent them from going to Point A, doing this at Point C, etc.
Each map has different objectives.

You'll need:

Skill - How well you battle.
Perception - How well you know your enemy.
Teamwork - How well you work with and as a team.
Patience - How long you'll be willing to wait.


Lack one, then you may as well have doom the other(s).

Someone will die~ It may be you or your maybe victim.
There's no respawn points. Once you've died, you're dead until the end of the round.

~

There's also NPC maps. It's easier for people who have a hard time surviving a battle against players. The NPCs aren't all that smart but they can kill you in no time if you're careless.

-------------

My computer can run this okay in the very low settings, but my FPS rate is quite low.

All in all, it's a good teambased fps.

But can anyone help me with the download???

Im having trouble with it....like when I was at 70+% and since I tought that it will probably take another hour I went out for a while and when I came back it went back straight 1

Oh I think I know why...I guess I downloaded it from cloudfile or sometong like that(not sure wats the name of the site) it says that there are 2 parts and I have to download it seperately...I guess I must have finish downloading the first one...

Thks for the link downloading it rite now:3 much faster....are there any clans in AA or a single player not like the team battles?

And lastly does the traning take a long time to finish....

Reien

Yes there are clans, dont know much about them, but they are around.

Training can take 10-15 mins if you just do the basic stuff, but if you dont do the rest of it you miss out on a number of maps and other things. Part of the training can be 'skipped' so to speak, as you can find the test answers online.

It pisses me off, because I love this game but since version 2.0 or so, it's just gone above what my PC can handle and I don't have the means to upgrade at the moment.

Why have they gone up though? Well, around version 1.9 the character models were all replaced with much higher quality ones, textures were updated and all that jazz. Basically a near complete overhaul of the game, graphically. Then later, around version 2.7, they added Coop missions and the AI takes a considerably good CPU to run properly.

There have been little updates here and there as well throughout the last 8 or so versions.

Looks like I cant play AA:( ... After I finshed downloading it it says it has been aborted and the file does not exists... Im using DAP can anyone tell me whats wrong....
There's a chance the download was corrupted. The increased speed of using DAP is nice, but unfortunately, most download accelerators have a chance of messing up the file.

I guess the file itself could be bad, try a different mirror too if the problem continues.

AA has a LOT more tactic to it then counter strike. Also, the game is being upgraded occasionally. When it was first released, the game was 280mb, now its 2.5gig.

But, you should try gamershell.com to download it. They have regional servers for europe and US, usually very fast.

I was SO addicted to AA.But i also hated it because the last Special Forces mission was SO boring.And i kept failing it.

Apart from that,it's realy fun.I learned to be patient and hunt my preys and i had a sharp aim.
Currently,i'm enjoying 2142 because it has it's realism and you can't just jump around-You'd get owned easily.
Low points on the game go for the fact ,i think, head,legs,arms,body shots with automatic guns don't realy have to be accurate.

OK guy check the specs to play it and have GOOD graphic cards GOOD internet connection and just dam good computer because when version 3.0 of americas army is coming out there using unreal graphic engine.

BF2 more realistic then AA???WTF...I heard a guy about 3 posts away that say you can "heal" yourself....LMFAO is it like WarRock where you can pull out a syringe and click and it will ACTUALLY heal hp?dude ok let me explain


In real life when you get shot you bleed in AA when you get shot you bleed(if its a flash bang you bleed for like a short period of time) hit in the arm or hands short period of time chest is long.A medic can not heal you in this game only stop you from bleeding that is the most realistic it can get...Its not like war rock where you can be a medic and pull out a syringe with red stuff in it and left click and heals you to full HP.

You don't have nearly enough RAM, and that's just for the Minimum. You'll have some problems playing this FPS with that.

It doesn't seem to specify the needed amount of memory needed for his video card, though.
