Epsilon 5 Posted June 6, 2002 Report Share Posted June 6, 2002 For those who thinks it's a waste of tax money.... The Army wastes more money than you think! One quote : quote:According to some estimates we cannot track $2.3 trillion in transactions," Rumsfeld admitted.That's 2.3 trillions "lost in the couch" I found that article following something Parias sent me.

Epsilon 5 Posted July 3, 2002 Report Share Posted July 3, 2002 The recon version of Operations is coming out tomorrow !! Will feature the mandatory offline training, a mp "qualification" map and 5 other maps, the "real stuff". Only the m16 and m249 will be available, but the rest will be coming soon! Will be available for download (about 200 megs they say) tomorrow on all major distribution networks. Man I can't wait! Spotted on HomeLan (which, btw, will host the servers for AAO) : quote:HomeLAN - Finally, is there anything else you wish to say about America's Army: Operations? Michael Capps - It's sad to admit, but I get 0wnz0r3d by the rest of the dev team on a daily basis when we play our game. You can bet I'm looking forward to playing on the 4th against a bunch of gamers who just got out of basic training!

Epsilon 5 Posted July 4, 2002 Report Share Posted July 4, 2002 quote:Originally posted by JJ: Basic Training needs to be getten rid of it's a pain in the ass to pass and will turn gamers awayNOOOO!!! it's the best thing since half-life. to quote someone on VE : "This should help eliminate the total-clueless-newbie syndrome which plagues online games." And another one "It took the army to get it right. Go us army!" And yes, it's hard to hit target while standing.. if you don't know how to shoot. you gotta syncronise with your breathing... i got the Sharpshooter badge with 32 hits on 40 at m16a2 qualifications I was forced to install gamespy since eye doesn't support it yet... VERY LAGGY program... and there's not enough mcKenna MOUT training games... can't qualify myself for the other maps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parias Posted July 5, 2002 Report Share Posted July 5, 2002 I breezed through basic training and hopped online. I gave up 30 minutes later after getting rejected by every single server on account of them being "full" (even though they were listed as not being so) and went back to satisfying my IG3 demo addiction. A good idea, but it needs a lot more servers, for starters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest $iLk Posted July 5, 2002 Report Share Posted July 5, 2002 True, can't complete the phase after basic because of the damned servers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eclipse Posted July 5, 2002 Report Share Posted July 5, 2002 I don't think they anticipated as large a croud as is there. If you just keep trying you'll get it complted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Epsilon 5 Posted July 5, 2002 Report Share Posted July 5, 2002 Maybe, but I'm sure a good part of the waste goes to secret services Btw my post is old, so the penny arcade link is outdated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted July 6, 2002 Report Share Posted July 6, 2002 Having fun with this set up a server on mywork station and playing on my games machine. Seems stable only problem I've had apart from a sticky keys is when I disconnected I couldn't get back on to my own server for five mins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epsilon 5 Posted July 6, 2002 Report Share Posted July 6, 2002 Eh, there's so many people that want to play AA, that all of the 120 servers (!) are full and 3500 people are waiting in the lobbies. Man, what were they thinking? I thought they would start with at least 300-400 servers available. Besides that, I finally found a hack to pass online training (it was impossible to find a server to play on) and i can finally enjoy the game. I have trouble, like many, to see who's friendly and who's enemy. Then bring up gamma and contrast, and it's a little better, but the colors aren't true.

Guest $iLk Posted July 6, 2002 Report Share Posted July 6, 2002 Is that the same hack I gave you Ep5 or is there another? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eclipse Posted July 6, 2002 Report Share Posted July 6, 2002 Quick rule of thumb for IFF: If they have a pack, they are friendly if they don't shoot 'em. I'm glad you didn't use the hack to get past basic itself. That info that is sent is eventually used to determine if you can select particular classes. eg. sniper.
