Got it. Played a couple rounds earlier. It's such a curve to get used to the slower, more realistic gameplay after playing stuff like CS:S and CoD. I got my ass handed to me, but it was fun.

Yeah, if ya don't practice ya get fucked up quite hard. Its one of those rare games that makes ya feel alive when ya kill a faggot from 100yds away with open-sights.
I haven't played since I've been here in Stl, I miss it :(

Partially upside down prone lean ftw.
Who want's to play some alley?
Le Goat

I dig alley but the Farm one is my go-to map. That shit gets my blood boiling. It blows balls when u get a selfish team though.
I plop a few 203's across the map as soon as Alley starts. It works almost all the time.

Your invite showed up but it never went through I think, I will try again next time I play.
Also, impact is pretty sweet. I'm down for whatever, hit me up on steam and we can get rollin'.

Today's update is huuuuuuge. My shit is downloading at 500k and it's taken 15 mins to get to 50%.
I hope this fixes a few of the major bugs, the notes look like it does.

At least fix the menu error. That shit is annoying.

Updates to America's Army 3 have been released. The updates will be applied automatically when your Steam client is restarted. The specific changes include:
America's Army 3
Improved console help
Added Clan support. Add clan tag in Account Settings. You must change information while in single player mode for now.
Admin VOIP Improvements
New "version" console command to see the current version
Server browser performance improvements
Fixes joining password protected servers so it no longer selects the server underneath the mouse cursor when clicking on the "Join" button in the password entry dialog.
Fix for settings menu improperly closing when ESC pressed and leaving the player stuck with no UI and limited control
Mission generation optimizations
Fixed issue with logging into game servers that sometimes used another player's soldier profile.
New TS3 SDK integrated
Improves how server manages authentication objects
Fixes issue with players being added to the scoring system not having all of their scoring data written.
Fixes issue where players not logged into MBS were being logged out if they left the server prior to authenticating
M320 grenade attaching issue resolved.
Dedicated server title bar now shows mission and player details
Fixes the "Waiting for other players" UI so it now appears again.
Removes some server logging
Increased communications handling to support when all players use heavy load outs. This may correct many instances where players didn't spawn correctly or get the correct load out.
Fixes the M320 getting an extra round of ammo
Fixes the Account Settings password changing not working properly
Fixes the IRC link not working
Fixes the displayed mission type (assault/defense/etc.) shown in the battle planner so it displays properly after side-swapping

Got a good several rounds in until the server I was playing on went to shit. It's so hard to tell teammate from enemy at long distances. The sounds in this game are so spot on though, I love how real the pops from rifle shots sound.
Le Goat
07-03-2009, 08:45 PM
Yeah it's pretty tough for a distance. Ya gotta watch your trigger finger.
I love the sound the bullet makes when it hits an object. Mainly a wall. It's not just the generic 'thud', it actually sounds like it's tearing through layers of the walls.
Le Goat
07-03-2009, 08:46 PM
also the dust that shoots out after
Gary_Busey
07-03-2009, 08:47 PM
I can't wait to get my office setup so I can put up my surround sound. I'm hoping they have some nice ricochet effects.
Le Goat
07-03-2009, 08:55 PM
It's not so much a ricochet effect so much as it's a ricochet sound effect. Bullets don't bounce off a corner (they do go through walls, especially in the Ranch).
Gary_Busey
07-03-2009, 09:00 PM

If you guys wanna play an awesome military sim, play ArmA 2, not this abomination of a game.
Gary_Busey
07-03-2009, 09:23 PM
I played the demo for ArmaII and it was fucking horrible. Is the full game more refined?
Superhuman
07-04-2009, 01:50 AM
I would say so.
The demo was gay because you couldn't get into a server with normal people. Don't really have that problem in the full game. Also, they already released 2 patches fixing a lot of the issues found in the demo.
Don Scrappy
07-04-2009, 05:23 AM
I downloaded this and tried playing one of the gay training levels, which I should not have to do since I did it all in the earlier version. The problem though, is that my view would not stop spinning to the left, so I think this is going to be a delete. I don't care enough to try it again, the training thing pissed me off a lot.
Le Goat
07-04-2009, 07:23 AM
This is an entirely new game from the 2.x.x, so of course you're going to have to do Training again.
Le Goat
07-04-2009, 07:24 AM
and that problem sounds like something specific to you. never heard/seen that
POO POO CANNON
07-05-2009, 08:44 PM
Well, I installed the update, and now it won't let me play due to PB errors. Everything is updated and current, however the game and my punkbuster just can't figure shit out. Apparently, PB can't copy to one of my folders and as a result the whole process is fucked.
Fuck.
Gary_Busey
07-05-2009, 08:59 PM
Just played some great rounds. The game is so much better when people communicate and move as a team. I'm also getting the map layouts down, not feeling as lost as I have been.
Le Goat
07-06-2009, 02:28 PM
Yeah, I love when people actually talk. Bridge is easily, still, the most intense map in the game. If you can get at least 5 guys to work together to push the enemy back every few minutes, you can rape any team on there. I can't wait for new maps to come out.
Le Goat
07-06-2009, 02:29 PM
Also, whoever mentioned that 'Arma II' game.... well... it sucks. It doesn't even hold a candle to this. I LOVE the idea of it, but it's executed so fucking poorly it hurts.
Gary_Busey
07-06-2009, 04:27 PM
Yeah, I got real excited about ArmaII after seeing some YouTube videos, but the demo just doesn't measure up and I'm not dropping $50 on a game if it plays anything close to that demo.

Hey fartbats, I'm down to play tonight. I left my mic at school though.

I might play some after I get some work done.

Exactly how far away do you have to shoot the 203 before it arms and explodes? I have shot all the way across the hotel in alley and it doesn't work. Yet every now and then I will blow myself up. teh ghey.
That being said I <3 this game.
Le Goat
07-06-2009, 05:52 PM
25yds is the minimum.
The Training hits at it (I know from BCT)

They really need to get on patching this shit up. It's a good game as-is, but it still needs a lot of work to make it more stable.
