That screen shot looks sweet. When is it supposed to be released? I didn't see a link on the site.

Is that a CAP plane I see off in the distance of that photo, with a dude hanging out the window waving?

Ha!

I think it supposed to be released in April, but I'm not sure. They're saying this will be the thinking mans action game.

[[SoC]GHOST]

It is already, and I THINK its gonna be just like the original.

what slow laggy and boring when you have to wait 10 mins for a round to finish ?

That was just sooooo right !

I don't want to think, I just want to shoot and blow poop up. I do enough thinking during the day.

Atleast this one is right up Borsch and Smacks ally....FREE. (cheap bastards)

YEa but sometimes you get what ya pay for, I didn't pay for AA and its sucks, I pay for COD4 and its great. Didn't pay for L4D Demo and to me it sucks.

I have to disagree with you a bit there...L4D is a hell of a lot of fun. But I didn't care for AA that much.

Hmmm..Maybe because its a thinking game????????

In all fairness, its not fun because its too realistic. One shot your dead. No cool markers or brightly lit names above your head, so ff is out of hand. Any blast that is close enought to wound usually kills. Noone wants to play a game where one mistaken grenade, or misfire puts you out for what can be up to a 15 min wait. Sure it was developed by the Army as a recruitmant tool, and true, in life thats all you get is that one shot or near miss. Its just not fun because there is too much thinking involved. Your stuck with a gun you dont want or a class you can't use, and most of the time your killed from some where unkown to you. There are not funny catch frases, no powerups or upgrades. Sure there may be an acheivement or two but it ususally involves some impossible challange or listening to an instructor. Well I don't know about you guys, but if I wanted to sit in class and listen to an Army instructor I would have joined. Maybe if the movement wasn't as slow it would make for a faster game, but it can take all of 10 mins to run from one side to the other.... Come on now, who really wants to wait for that. How about special forces that can pick any gun they want? How about an acheivement system that gives awards for stupid stuff like in TF2. Or how about giving it a working vehicle arsenal. All things that make the other games we play more fun. I can't stand the fact that if I get in and play I run the risk of being kicked because I chose to snipe a guy at 700 yards, and couldn't tell for sure if he had a backpack on or not. (No comments about being kicked Drizzt) They should just call it War simulator X or something, that would be a more accurate name, since thats all it is, is a war simulator.

From what I've read, AA3 is supposed to add some of the reward for achivement type things, allowing different weapon options I think.

There are some maps that are too big and too slow for me, but border, SF hospital, SF pipeline and SF CSAR are still fun to me. Most of the time they don't last that long, esp. hospital, so you don't wait forever if you die early.

3 sounds like it will start off kind of slow, but the platform offers so much more possibilities that the current engine. They have said the they will eventually have vehicles in it.

For me it's an alternative to the frag fest that COD and TF2 can be.
