Please don't pull another America's Army 3.
2 was so damn fun. Replicate that and you'll print money. [editline]8th April 2013[/editline] Print soldiers.

The M24 and M4 with an M203 held the stocks under the armpit basically, and they NEVER. FIXED. IT. It just looked so stupid seeing everyone run around pointing their weapon in the sky
Americas Army 2 was absolutely amazing, the maps were great and the combat was really satisfying, especially the added coop mode. It played it with a pal of mine, we had a great time. AA3 was such a huge fuckup, it worked like shit and the gameplay was boring. The online play was horrendous.

is AA2 still alive?
They are going to have to compete with Arma 3, aren't they? Sounds like a tough job...
I loved AA3. I didn't know they were working on another title. I guess that why we never got the planned stuff. AA3 was a step backwards but it was still fun.
Hopefully this time they let you actually use widescreen/16:9+ aspect ratios, I hated that in AA3.
I wonder how many of the people who play this game realize its a recruitment plan.
[QUOTE=laserguided;40211141]I wonder how many of the people who play this game realize its a recruitment plan.[/QUOTE] Personally, I could not care less. It's a great tactical military shooter based around realism. Besides I live in Europe. I don't see any brainwashing in those games at all.
[QUOTE=laserguided;40211141]I wonder how many of the people who play this game realize its a recruitment plan.[/QUOTE] You act like it's brainwashing stuff or something. It's not like in the other games you shoot down nameless Russians or middle eastern terrorists. They ended up just being some of the most intentionally bland enemies imaginable. It's not a secret when half the game is telling you that this was made to get people to join. Some of the stuff in the game actually saved someone's life before.

AA3 felt like a recruitment plan.

[QUOTE=laserguided;40212034]I act as if its being funded as part of their recruitment program.[/QUOTE] It was. It was also created to just give some information on how they do some stuff but it's no secret that a big reason was recruitment. AA3 on the other hand was just a terrible recruitment tool to get the attention of the COD kids.
