Americas Army *WARNING*

In general the new version is more cumbersome to use. The old simple catalogs of functions are now graphically represented and to make matters worse, the functions that used to take 3 mouseclicks now take 4-6. Extra steps to do everything.

All user settings gone to the wind with upgrade.. I hate it.

i woulda said that real life gave me a sense of tactical knoledge that only pisses me off when playing something as limited as a game, if you know what i mean.


example: if we took a room of 24 of us gamers playing a room in Americas army and suddenly drumped us all in a paintball real life verson of the level, then i would do alot better than i do when playing the game.



If you want a war fix, for free, with a small download and very few hackers, do a google search for 'war rock'

Save your settings files if you dont want to re-set them.

This a new monster so to speak.  You have to uninstall the old version in wich case you lose all your settings.  There's alot of keys that are different now to because of new functions.
