I just downloaded this one recently... I read about it in a magazine article.

Supposedly it is a game developed by the US Army in order to encourage more recruitment. The game is super super accurate to real life combat... and is alot of fun.

I am going to be playing it later tonight, so I'll tell you what I think. But I figured I would post here to allow some open discussion. :)

i downloaded it a while back...i played it but really didnt have the time to put into it, so i deleted it...before you can play with other people online, you have to go through a mandatory "training" which takes forever...

Yea... the training is kind of funny too... If you become a medic they teach you how to perform CPR in real life... which has absolutely no use in the real game.

haha, imagine in a firefight, you (a medic) trying to give cpr to a guy and a sniper caps you in the dome, haha :)

Yea... well you really can't do it like they show you in training. They are showing you how to perform it in real life... in the game you just use a medpack. ;)

yea... i DLed it a little while back but i dont really see wats the big deal about it tho. It was okay but nothing compared to, for instance, Call of Duty;)

Yes... but call of duty costs money and not as many people play it.

yea the training is really long and it gets very frustrating because if u land wrong or anything, then the guy will tell u to do it over :mad:. Thats one downside about the game in my opinion...

lol :). GL with that! The first time i DLed AA, i was so happy cuz i heard it was pretty fun, but then i found out i had to do training!! So i was like eh this will be easy, but the stupid noob in the background kept telling me that i was doing things wrong! and i was like "WTP?!" :mad: :)

The big thing is that if you get something wrong in training the entire training mission restarts and the load times are very annoying...

On the bright side, I have decided to get a RAM upgrade. ^_^

Well i have played it for about an hour or so and so far im finding good fun. Only doing my basic training at the moment but i imagine that if you do get through it will all be worth it :D

You only need to complete Basic training to play online and i have done that easily, whats all the fuss???

If you do all the training there are more options.If you complete the parachute training you can do the airbourne missions. I think if you complete the advanced marksmanship and everything else you can join the special forces missions.(i didnt get that far)

i jus played AA again, its still just "okay" to me. The training is boring and useless to me, but i guess it does have a reason to be there. I'd rather play cod1/2 :)

Other games I play out score AA in graphics 10 fold but I dont know the game play is great to me and the overall concept.
