Anyone else in here play Americas Army? I have a TS server. I am looking to find more fraggers.

I play it, freaking addictive as all hell!

Good stuff...What map do you play? I have been gettting more and more into UA. It is fun once you know how to avoid all the frag fodder at the start.

thats why I stopped playing UA... frag bs...

anyways, I have been playing pipeline a lot.

Have not downloaded teamspeak, where do I get it.

A bunch of the other TAS guys play, but I have yet to hook up with them.

TS is great. Makes combat all the better. As for UA you just have to learn where the frag hotspots are. I move forward a bit then find cover and wait the first min or so of the match out. This avoids the M67 fodder at the start of the match. I also like to start on East. less movement is needed on that side it seems. Less movement means you can fight from a fixed fighting position giveing you the upper hand. Haveing a few guys working together on TS doesnt hurt. Word is in the next release there is going to be a built in commo...lets hope they didnt get the system from novalogics VOX system...

Well TS doesnt have any so that is good.

Kegger what's your TS server IP and screen name?.

My AA name is Gunslinger_AH

You can usually find me in SF hospital (my favorite) or Bridge crossing. I play pipe sometimes but not that often.

Eh, AA was alright for a while...got sick of getting killed and having to wait forever for a round to end though. Especially from a cheap death right as you spawn, or just as you get up to the action.

This improves as your experience gets better. I still suffer cheap deaths every now and again but mostly it's not going into places were somone knows they get get cheap kill.

There was an article in the recent issue of PC Gamer about it, evidently they've cracked down and the Army has left a message that if you're caught cheating "they're coming after you". Whether or not they were joking remains to be seen.

For a while there cheaters ran around unchained. However since the last update PB has been cracking down hard on cheaters. There are also servers that are part of a group AASA, they do an outstanding job at cracking down on cheaters. They also have a banlist. So if you are caught cheating on one AASA server you are banned from the others aswell. It is a system that works really well.

after the last update they had its gotten alot better actually.

Now you have to DL almost daily from punk buster, wich is a pain in the rear to do it via software, but it has seemed to help. I usually go to evenbalance.com and do it manually (mush faster) before logging on.

I wish they'd add a melay (SP??? basically a butt stroke with the rifle) for close up attacks.
