5 shots? it doesnt take me five shots to kill in the game.

BTW, MILES gear does suck in real life. totally screws up your gear setup and feels like a rock on your head. oh ya. . and the tagging is totally screwed half the time

Really to kill someone ive found out that u have to shoot at their head and not the body....I really dont care for the MILES gear in AA..Even though its something weve never seen in a game its really not that good.

I finally passed the MOUT training!Just in one round to!Tip, all you have to do is just win one round, not the 7/7.If you win one round just hit esc.(you wont really esc, just to menu,) and Report for duty, then select Soldier training, and see if you see Completed, on Infantry training.If you didnt, then just select resume, and try again every time you win one match.

Oh i finaly found out why i couldnt hear any gunshots or see bullet holes or puffs of smoke when the bullet hits the ground is because i had this feature checked.If you have a check mark in it, uncheck it, if you want to hear and see all the good effects.

</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">No client side effects (default false): This turns off certain client-side features like bullet shells, gun sounds, muzzle smoke, bullet impact effects, and the like. It doesn't let you turn off features that might affect gameplay, like smoke grenades. Turn this on if you absolutely have to, if your computer is having trouble keeping up with the game. It sure reduces the fun of the experience.

Yeah i had the same problem.

[SKULLS_Viper 0]

Wow, i just came back from playing Bridge, and i have to say that was the best game ever.I just loved the guys with the SAWs, just mowing away at guys on the brigde and the other guys mowing you.I just loved hearing the bullets wiz by and the bullets just smashing into the cement, and seeing fragments flying all over.And seeing the tracers zip back and forth.It was trully amazing!And beathtaking! I loved the tracers!It was cool seeing it just zip by, and lighting up the areas when it goes by.

Its the best free game i have ever seen!Good job Army!

But i have to say, but i hate AA official servers. The only way i can play is thru a private server by typing in an IP address.To do that if you dont know how is be shure your in the main menu, hit esc, that will bring down the menu thingy, and hit ~ and type:

open 123.45.67.8

Where 123.45.67.8 is the example ip, so just put in there ip there.

But the Official AA servers, i just keep getting connection failed.And wasting 1 hour till i can finally play.

[SKULLS_Viper 0]

gosh look at this screen shot!

CLICK HERE

[EveronVetsAgainstTheWar 1]

I hate the game because I always get "connection failed" when I try to play

[SKULLS_Viper 0]

Maybe best bet is try a private server.Like if you see someone give out an IP just close Gamespy, and launch the game and hit ~ and type:

open 123.45.67.8

I got some neat pictures of a .50 sniper rifle in Americas army,and ill see if i can get, like maybe placebo to host the pictures?I dont know how to do it.Its a bit confusing.

[SKULLS_Viper 0]

heres a cheat that you can use to get the sniper rifle(only in the single player mission i.e. shooting range, or US weapons).First start a training mission such as, US Weapons.Then hit ~ then type :

mpcheat changeclass s    (is the .50sniper)

mpcheat changeclass ar   (ak-47)

mpcheat changeclass rpk  (russias version of SAW)

mpcheat changeclass s24  (anthor sniper rifle)

mpcheat changeclass f     (fists)

mpcheat changeclass svd  (svd dragunov)

(then hit enter after you type which ever one)

More to come when i check them out.And also type only one of them, not all.So hit ~ then type mpcheat changeclass s then hit enter.If you want a defrent weapon just hit ~ and type mpcheat changeclass -  and "-" being what ever, s ar rpk s24 etc.Have fun!

(and dont add i.e. (svd dragunov) after mpcheat changeclass svd.Just mpcheat changeclass svd )

[SKULLS_Viper 0]

I forgot to post, there is a good postion you can go to to try using the bipods.It basically where your standing when you first start, just hit x to lay down then crawl over to the chain thing where it says warning live firing and just edge over as close as posible so you see the targets.(only 2 of them).Then hit H.

In US Weapons i mean.You can probably try it on the very first target shooting mission to.

Can't get it to work. ~ doesnt bring up the console fro some reason. Are you sure that you don't have to start the game with some parameters to enable the console?

[SKULLS_Viper 0]

it doenst bring down the consol when playing.It just looks like something you just type a standard messege to someone.So just type it like

mpcheat changeclass s

then hit enter, then hit ~ again to get rid of that thing.

[Guest]

Ok, got it to work now. Thanx

(not with ~ but with "t")

[SKULLS_Viper 0]

you got it to work using "t"?

heres some more

g  (m203)

s24 (anthor sweat sniper rifle)

Its the same as just mpcheat changeclass g (or s24)

[Tex -USMC- 0]

The M4 Carbine is also available. Just do "mpcheat changeclass m"

Its a great little weapon. The recoil is manageble enough that 3 round burst is a good bet at all but long ranges

[SKULLS_Viper 0]

Thanks placebo for hostin these pictures!

1st screen is the .50

2nd screen is the a anthor cheat or the fists cheat, where you can punch people.

The longer i play this game the more i like it, i just had a ton of luck getting MOUT completed after about 3 days of problems getting the master server recognise Team scores, because its overloaded with qualification requests.

Now that i got to play all the other maps i have to say that most of them are ranging from small to medium size, but feature necessary parts to make up good tactical situations, with different ways and approaches possible to solve them.

The map i like the most however from the ones i´ve played (Pipeline, Bridge Crossing, Collapsed Tunnel, Insurgent Camp) is still McKenna currently, somehow reminds me of RS´s Killhouse or CSL, only in a much bigger and more detailed version.

It appears greater effort had been put into indoor scenarios, as outside there is hardly natural terrain covering such as bushes, grass, trees on most maps. Inside however detail is incredible.

When playing non-miles maps damage modelling seems adequate for most parts, a headshot will put someone out of action as 2-3 hits upper torso will.

However, nothin more satisfying than to riddle someone with bullets at close range with the SAW, instant knockout.

[Jester983 0]

Wow that was soo much fun punching the guy at the rifle range. Those wepons are really neat, and realistic. I gotta go try this somemore thanks viper!

[SKULLS_Viper 0]

no problem Jester.
