Wow, 2.7 actually looks badass. They have even added single player! Check it out guys.

They also added new weapon systems, updated the camo to what the current army is using. Updated the radar, added the first drivable vechal, added AI, squad commands, ext. Also before you say the game sucks, its free.

I hope it's a lot better than AA:SF. That game's storyline sucked big time. One of your first missions involves a basic plot line and terrorists, who are poorly voiced by Americans, and poorly placed cinematics and animations. The realism, though, is just about there. The sniper mission sucked big time though. I waited seven fricking hours before the target appeared, and I've heard people have waited days before. Glad I'm not the one with the Xbox.

Real life. Seriously, I didn't sit there for six hours as well. I actually sat at the computer and waited until a little bleep sounded telling me the target was in the area.

Been playing in since the 14th, controls are totally fucked pretty much, and its not even like you can remap them, anyways its fun, SF gun looks alot sweet, the UI is much better, its fun as hell.

Ive only played the co-op maps, the AI is crazy hard, like they do act dumb, but then you suddently get blown up by a rocket launcher just randomly by a guy from a window so that sucks.

But its alot better that 2.6 IMO, yet i gotta get used to the controls :O

i already finished all the new training too, was easy :O

Only one person that I'm friends with plays this game. Sometimes he plays it on my computer because his computer kinda blows. I guess I'll let him know about it if he hasn't heard.

I got this like 2 days ago, I've been play AA on and off from before v2.0, the game is awesome, although my computer can't really handle the new stuff released with 2.7 =(

My account name is -A-- if anyone ever runs into me on it.

I recommend GameDaily (http://www.gamedaily.com/download/info/?packageid=0078700943). High speeds with no wait lines = Awesomeness.

I know, but... err... why would the game designers make you wait for so long? Why wouldn't they give you your target instantly?

Because the game developers developed it side-by-side with America's U.S. Army and that the game is supposed to reflect as life-like as possible the training a weapons specialist has to go through and combat situations. A couple of shots and you're dead in that game, and whoo, don't even get me started on grenades. You better run for a mile and get into the prone behind some object if you hope to not die.

Americas army is a training tool for the U.S army.

They only released it to public for fun really. Its primary objective is to be able to train the army when they are in locations they cant really train.

I had trouble at E&E for a long time... I'd get caught everytime but once I got passed it, I was able to do it over and over again faster. I did it for 4 friends the same day and got it them all at the first try.
