America\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s Army For Mac

If I knew you better, I might apologise more profusely, but I don't. All jokes are harmless, apart from intent. I love jokes, the cruder the better, but I've read a gazillion jokes on homosexuality on. Lately that make me itchy, regardless of intent. This is in some ways an unpersonal medium, and I couldn't see you wink while you were joking. My rant was rightly deemed flamebait and probably over the top (as is your answer.) but the intent was to ridiculize the link gay-apple, not to insult you persona.

This seems like a rather bad idea on the army's part, in my opinion. I would think that since Apple has such a small slice of the market share that they would not even bother with a release, and more importantly, I wouldn't expect as many Mac users would be potential conscripts. I don't have any hard evidence for that, but considering myself (a long time mac user) and most of the other appleholics that i know, the mac user/pacifist overlap is pretty large. I bet the fed is finally trying to convert us sunflower-loving hippies using a really cool game. While the performance is understandably poor on my dual 800 (1.5 gb, GF3. I get around 20 fps) the game has real potential. Unfortunately its close quarters combat is quite flawed.

Strafe jumping junkies who somehow manage to squeeze full-auto fire out of their M16A2 abound. Disappointing, to say the least. Looks like the devs kind of gave up on polishing the gameplay about 5/6ths of the way to completion. All that would be required to fix this is a simple realistically correct adjustment: You can't strafe jump while holding a full-auto assault rifle. Or, at least, my knowledge of the human body doesn't state that it's true.

Chris Chambers, deputy director of the America's Army project, told The Mac Observer via e-mail that the primary reason for dropping the Mac and Linux versions of the game was.

Who knows what genetically engineered super soldiers the Army is cooking up these days, though;) I think perhaps some chained-jumping handicaps like those in RtCW, I think it was, would be appropriate. But, there are a handful of weapons to use, and sniping is appropriately difficult (though I haven't had a chance to try out it outside of the training field. Yes I am an Exper Marksman:) ).

So, to sum up. A game with strong potential, but it needs polish. And more FPS.

Obviously you are new to gaming since 'strafe jumping' is actually called 'bunny hopping'. Also you cannot fire while jumping. You can fire while strafing back and forth.

I assume that you started today, you probably havent played many of the maps and maybe still in the MILES (laser tag) maps like MOUT and Tunnels. Those maps are intro maps you will see how the game can excel when you are on a large outdoor map like Radio Tower or a FPS killer map like Bridge. When AA was first released, I thought of it as Counter Strike 2 with all the cheats removed which is one of the reasons I stopped playing CS. But I discovered that AA was team orientated. If you can find your nitch on a squad, you can really dominate.

Some things that you missed that I think should be noted: - you can shoot through doors now and bullets can ricochett and kill you - TK (that is 'team killing) is a huge no-no - You will need to learn the Rules of Engagement (ROE) which have a negative effect on gaining honor. You get bonus honor for being squad and fire team leaders. You need to know your CEM (Combat Effectiveness Meter), the higher it is, the more accurate your shot is. To forgive ppl, when you are TKed accidently. Apologize when you TK someone. There's many different qualifications such as Airborne School, Sniper School, Mtn Range division, etc. By passing those schools, new maps open to you.

The higher your honor the better your chances are of getting the weapon you requested. Game weapons (depending on map and team size): M16, Saw, m16 w/ 203 grenade launcher, regular sniper rifle,.50 caliber sniper rifle, m4 with laser sight,grenades, flash bangs, smoke nades plus the enemies counter weapons.

Coming in AA 1.9, two new classes: Medic and Special Forces. I am looking forward to becoming a medic (although its not like a true medic, but a combat medic with a gun - read americasarmy.com). Rumors are that you need to have a 35+ honor to be a medic and 50+ for Special Forces. I've logged 70+ hours into this game, playing for a few days then stopping for a week or so (depending on work and life duties).

So I feel qualifed to review the game. Overall for a free game, its pretty damn good. The FPS are quite good if you have a good video card. A gf3 is okay. I dont think my 600mhz iBook with its ATI 16mb video card could handle it, but maybe it will be okay as a dedicated server.

'hooah' fps tweak o ru ms&file=viewtopic&t=1142 a quote from the post. ' Ok I was gettin like 23 fps on bridge SE, and i new i could do better.

I have a radeon 9200 128mb. So a Dev told me that i could tweak the Cache size in the armyops.ini file and it would help alot. The default is 32. If you haev a 128 mb card set it to 128 mbs, 64 card =64 cache. I went from 23 fps to 60! ' i have an ati 9000 128 pro.i made the changes and it didnt seem to do much. I had my friend make changes to and he has a gf4 ti 4200 128 and he didnt notice any changes.

Just played for a bit (I'm not saying what time zone I'm in!) and my first impression was surprise at the languages being used in chat. I know non-English-speakers are not unusual in FPS games, of course.

But something about the in-your-face stridence of American military machismo in the game made it an odd cognitive dissonance. I can see a Huey Long (or Joe McCarthy) figure showing a screenshot of dudes blasting people with their m1a4 or whatever, talking in Czech. And then McCarthy lambasting the Army for training the next generation of terrorists. Or do I just need my morning coffee? Does this remind anyone else of the 80's movie amazon.com where the goofy kid living in a California trailer park gets the high score on a video game and gets recruited by the 'Star Leauge' to save the Earth or Universe or Star Leauge or something like that? This really could become some next generation of recruitment. I mean, think of the possibilities for NASCAR to recruit top scorers for Gran Turismo, or the National Football Leauge to recruit top scorers of Madden 2004.

Heck, if you can wiggle your fingers fast you must be able to do the real thing too. I'd hate to get in a kick boxing competition with the high scorer of Dynasty Wariors 4.

America S Army For Mac

I bet that overweight 12 year old would use the old A-B-A-B-B on my ass and the next thing I know he'd be holding my beating heart in his hand! All of a sudden I miss the 80's. We have a TV series here in the UK called 'Faking It' where someone goes from their real job to something else, with a bit of training, and then tries to fool a panel of experts into thinking they're the real deal.

For example, a house painter becomes an artist and tries to fool the critics. Anyhow, one episode had a bloke who tests video games (as a job!!), particularly racing games, being trained up as a proper racing driver in one of the UK's top racing schools. To cut a long story short, he wa. Why the army would create a murder simulator and distribute it to kids is a question we ought to be asking as a democracy.

The answer might seem obvious - i.e., you can't have cannons without fodder for them - but recruitment isn't the only reason. Recruitment may not even be the primary reason. The ranks of Walmart America are very deep; there are plenty of the working poor who can be drawn upon to fight our imperial wars without recourse to a draft that would be politically unpopular with the chattering. Its a joke, laugh. 'Honestly, this is a freakin'.WAR.

people, its not a video game, and its not a walk in the park.' Yep, and I think the person who wrote that-along with every other person here-knows it. I made a comment above which is a Heinlein quote along the same lines, but I don't support our president in this (sorry, I didn't vote for him either).

It is also well known that 'America's Army,' the video game, is a recruiting tool for the US Army. Expect us to 'show a little humor' with respect to that.

'What would you think about that if you were an actual Iraqi, reading /. On the Internet?' I'm not in Iraq and I imagine a very small percentage of /.ers are, however, considering that the name of the game is 'America's Army'. 'Wait, lets change this video game a little bit and rename it to 'Washington DC Terrorist Attack - Kill the President before He Rapes The World', and port it to Nintendo.' False analogy. The two are not comparable on any level. That being said: Go for it.

Announce it on /. You won't get moral outrage from me over it being sold-I won't purchase it, I won't play it, and I won't encourage others to play it, but I won't claim that it shouldn't be sold. Afdruk samenvoegen in word voor mac free. Part of that 'freedom of speech' thing. 'Does that then make it okay for someone to say 'Play this game then go there, Brother, and kill the infidels!'

' I wouldn't be insulted if the Information Ministry or Military in Iraq released a game called 'Saddam Hussein's Army' and someone posted on /. 'Get out there you chiggers and train for the US!' Seriously, you are being oversensative. None of us care. I'm opposed to the war, I still got a chuckle out of the 'train for Iraq' line. 'Can Americans not plainly see that their perpetual arrogance and cultural irresponsibility is causing them more trouble than its worth?' Can the hypothetical 'rest of the world' (meaning you) see that sterotyping and generalized racism is causing us all more trouble than its worth?

'Americas War' is.NOT. something to be proud about, or defend eagerly, or even participate in willingly.' I'm not, I don't, and I'm not. 'It is the product of a sick and twisted culture!!'

Stop making leaps of logic that Orwell's Ministry of Truth would be proud of and you might get people to listen to you. Ranting about the Evils of America(TM) gets you nowhere in discussion, informing others, or in changing anyone's minds. My mother's family is from Cleburne going back four or five generations. My father's family is from Fort Worth, he was threatening to fly to texas and get some dirt to spread around the operating room when I was born so I would be 'born on Texas soil'.

I'm quite familiar with Texas and their culture-from how they greet each other on the street to their humor to their way of life, is completely unlike anything I've seen in, say, Manhattan. My sister was born in New York, I was born in Washington DC, went to.

True enough, but then, it's fractal - each place is actually a bunch of places, again with its own culture. I was born in Texas, grew up in Colorado, joined to Army and went to Georgia, transferred to the AF and went back to Texas, then to Nebraska, then to East Anglia (UK), then to Qatar, then to North Dakota, then got out and came back to Colorado. Houston, TX, where I was born, is not Wichita Falls, TX, where I went to tech school. Omaha, NE, where I was stationed, is not the same as the little farming.
