America's Army online 3 - out...ahh soon...hopyfully

jumpy · 06-17-09, 04:23 PM

been watching this one for a while... but I must say... STUPID DEPLOY CLIENT!

SAW was my favourite tool for the job, especially on Interdiction, great bot blasting fun.
My old clan used to run the Boarder map which was always fun, especially with SF forceclass. Trouble was many of the good maps are lacking players... the usual map suspects being boarder, pipeline, bridge crossing and SF hospital attracted lots of players, but get awfully dull after a while. Also you don't stand a chance when people are using Teamspeak and you're not

One day after release, AA3 was so badly screwed up that the US Army has closed the development studio, fired most of the staff and taken full development to Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Alabama.

There is a rumor that the person in charge of the Authentication Servers has been sent to Guantanamo.

Absolutely HORRID!

Seriously I cant even rate it because of hard easily it crashes. And if if it diddn't apparently it is hard as nails to get into multiplayer.

Oh it ran fine and never crashed on my PC, it was just net code issues. Lack of Auth server causing this:

Most amusing to fail at 100%

Getting rid of almost the whole dev team and closing the studio on Day 1 seems a bit harsh, but I guess with most games it is about $ which can be made up for the company, AA is all about PR and image, guess the people who paid for the PR didn't like the image.

Yeah i agree. I kept ctd, some maps wouldn't even log me in I see on AA website they have taken note and getting a patch out I read this the day after the DL was available don't know if the patch is out and working cause ive gone back to AAO 2 going to leave AAO3 till its properly fixed!

@ Jumpy don't use the deploy client its total crap for me too DL was running at 22kbps, on AA website you can choose another dL option it directed me to a server where DL speeds were spot on.
