America's Army 3.0 - What a flop...

Twig · Post by **Twig** » 19 Jun 2009, 07:18

released: Yesterday
Development team fired: Today
Playable: Never.

Everyone is having so many issues, it's ridiculous. I can't use my mouse for some reason. A lot of people are having trouble with certain keys. A lot of audio issues. Just about everyone is having trouble connecting to the authorization servers.

What a heap of shit.

Did they really get fired?

I must say the game is the worst looking UE3 game that I have ever seen.

I played the tutorial and wow, I havent uninstalled it yet but I was hoping to atleast be able to log in and have a game to see how bad the actual gameplay is. But just wow.

Yes, they really did.
AA2 was very playable, and quite fun. I love FPS that don't require 3 full clips to kill someone. An FPS that can't be won by a single guy taking on 13 enemies.
It's not Counter-Strike or COD. Not by a long shot. I was SOOO looking forward to 3. :(

Don't waste your Bandwidth. Unless they release a major patch, it really is unplayable for most people.

Stop it? Do you mean remove it? I can remove it if that is what you're asking.

Just don't put anything for your sig. I can't be bothered to decipher the 873 rules here about sigs so I don't have one.

Yeah this forum has the toughest rules for signatures. heh

Twig · Post by **Twig** » 21 Jun 2009, 01:07

I only see one thread with rules and all it says is there is a 512 character limit...

Post by **g00seberry** » 21 Jun 2009, 02:26

The rules are right next to the signature box.

Use this block of text to display your system specs. There is a 512 character limit. Please no images.

I'm at least willing to be lenient about a nice thin strip, especially when it contains mainly text, but anything animated is generally a no-no.

Twig · Post by **Twig** » 21 Jun 2009, 06:34

can we get an update to the rules?
It doesn't say what you've quoted. I'm not trying to go against the grain or anything, I'll take it out no problem.
But it says it's encouraged to put your specs there. Not that the signature is supposed to be your specs.

Post by **g00seberry** » 22 Jun 2009, 00:16

Tis right there.

No it doesn't have to be your specs. It can be whatever you want as long as it isn't spam-like or offensive. But it does state no images. It's to prevent these fook-off massive -[PWN]- LEETZOR flashing 600x200 sigs people have, but as i said, a small strip like you now currently have which mainly contains text within it is fair enough. :onethumb

Yea, i tried it did really well on training said it saved to account, then it made me do it again. I deleted it, never looked back since. I used to play in 2.6 and 2.8 days (skipped 2.7 as it reportedly sucked)

Twig it is sort of an unwritten rule that having text pictures can be ok, people have done xfire, last.fm and others in past with no qualms. Mobster007 (I think that is his username) does his sig as a pic to make formatting easier and I think it allows him to break the character limit as tags to make the formatting nice kill a large amount of chars

my experience has been nothing but trouble so far. I got through the training after being stopped by the Authentication servers multiple times saying i failed when i got expert on everything. Then I completed my training but when i'd try joining a game i still went to the main menu. Then i couldn't log onto my acount for a day or 2. Then i finally joined a game and it stops responding and messes with my wireless internet connection when it crashes. So i just started playing COD4
