Sounds like a great game. I wouldn't play it though, I have moral disagreements to the propaganda aspect.

top class game - well worth dowmloading it - it free

been playing it last 3 weeks - norrmally on map S F SCAR

Justin1 - the trainin that ur stuck on m8 - i to was stuck there !

(it tells u to stay off the hills) - but the only way to do it is croosin 1 of the hills
At he start u can go two ways - either straight (take u to the watch tower) or right (takes u to a camp)
Go right and when u get near the camp - stay into the left and when ur almost inline with the base ( go over the hill there !)
hope that help

as for the real army spendin more on real trianin - they can't - due to needin more to sign up !

so they made this game to try to promote the army way of life - onfo on there web site

Game looks great.... I love the FPS games...

Im at the moment only on a dial up connection which i fear would make it sluggish
Plus my hardware is now getting a little dated

This is one i will definately download after my intended upgrade/overhaul.. (Whenever that may be)

I did download this and install it all that time ago (see posts at start of this thread), went through the shooting gallery thing, then an option came up, something like 'Do you want to add this result to your profile?' or something like that.

I looked and looked and couldn't decide how the hell you were supposed to save it. I tried various keys, and each one I tried just put me back to square one. After trying that first shooting gallery about ten times, I just gave up, haven't gone back since.

Maybe I just stoopid, but it really poxed me off. If anybody can tell me how to do this thing, I'd love to give it a go, it looks good and I'm getting a little tired of CoD right now, I could do with a change.

Well you have to create a unique profile on the Americas Amry Online website. Once you've done that, you then do the training, at the end of the training it will bring you to a log in screen, you log in and it will upload your training completion.

Thanks reef, I do feel like a bit of a numbskull, but I shall try again in the near future.

Sounds like you need to update PB from the exe program they have when you install AA. Go where ever you have AA installed, go to the folder called "System" then "PB" the double click pb web and wait till its done. You will know when its done because it will say press esc to exit. Once you've done that, try and join a server and see what happens. Lately AA has has problems with the authentication in servers, which makes you just sit and wait for a while. They should sort this out within a week. It happens every now and then though, just gotta be patient. When your joining a server and are on the screen of just watching a certain part of the map and your still not joined properly, press tab and type disconnect, it will take you out the server so you can try a different one if you want.

reefsmoka i have updated the pb from the file . it was a box that looks like dos and it updated , in game the pb says that i am authorized and up to date .Your right that i sit there and looked at the maps , but once the pb said i was authorized my pc froze and i left the pc running for hours come back and it was still in the same spot , i have the proper OS for the game .


2-512mb ddr ram @ 400mhz each -AMD Athlon 64 3000+ cpu and gforce nividia 6600 . this pc is 1 month old , i have turned the firewall off , anf the Anti virus . still no go .

If you have any other ideas that would be great because im at a stand still now .

sometimes i even get to the stage where you can pick which group to join , then it freezes up .FREAKY STUFF. maybe its what u said some glitches and it will be fixed soon , lets hope so because this game doesnt look half bad .

thanks again for your help.
