Totally preloading. Thoughts? I never played the AA series.
 
pre loaded already, its a very good game, plus you can play with dudes in the military... get the regular aa... but this is a huge improvement, so i dont know what it'll be like next week.

whats steam cloud?
 
well I think it is very realistic based off the first one which I played a little. The map selection WAS a little weak . hoping they can do something here with 3
 
Wow, I might actually get it now that it's going be free on steam. Thats how I got into trackmania. Pretty smart of them.
 
cod4 is actually one of the most UNrealistic - guns show no recoil at all, running jummping unrealistic, just rediculous

I can agree with the recoid zan but the running and jumping is a part of the training for many SF units around the world.

PS. You spelled ridiculous wrong.
 
I played the original AA, a loooong time ago. So I'll be sure to give this one a whirl. :) Thanks for the heads up Beta.
 
Same here Fragbait.... when I heard about AA3 in Jan I was ready and waiting to download it from their site. Glad to see Steam is going to let us preload and get us one step closer.

I would think the insurgency division peeps would love AA, it's close to that sort of action.

See you on the battle grounds

Lots of people spell that wrong :P

And I preloaded this, it sounds like a lot of fun.
 
America's Army and Halo were the first FPS games I played online. I loved AA, but I haven't been able to get back into it, despite several attempts over the past year or so.

I am dying to try AA3 though.
 
This should be interesting. I played AA since its inception and stopped playing around 2.5. I was a part of three teams that played competitively, of which two were top 15 in North America. I got tired of the series for various reasons.
 
I was introduced to the series about the time I was 10, played till I was 15 (18 now). It's resonably fun and well done for a free game. The devs are taken out once a month to play with the army's latest, so it's decdently realistic.

Overall:

you can't argue with the whole 'free' thing.

the gameplay I'd say is an 8/10 at least

The only thing that strikes me as bad, is the previous versions. They have made it too easy to use hacks and exploits at times, made updates confusingly unavailable (I quit playing at 2.7.1 because I couldn't find a decent download site, recently resumed playing) Thigs are picking back up, but I'm still skeptical of the reliability of the game.

I agree 110% I played the first for a little bit until I got the bug which caused me to have to stop playing. It was fun though. I'm curious to see you AA3 is.
