America's Army Soldiers Q&A

I wonder if the army will better understand games?
if not..then please stop wasting tax payers $$$
just a pet pevv here..but
when they fired it up they had 100 servers..lets do some math here.. average of 24 players per server..wait..lets jump it to 32...so 32 x 100 = 3200 players max at any one time in the country..yet they had over 1 million downloads....hmm,,,what WERE they thinking? And every one was wondering why it lagged soo much. THEN they decided to release a server code. Looks to me like they are driving with their hindsight turned on. BAH, 6 months from now it will be america's army who?
btw..the acronym is AAS .. very fitting

I guess they should have known it would be insanely popular? Or how much of a hit their servers would take? I think your view of the situation is extremly narrow minded and lacks insight as far as a network side of things. I am not saying that you shouldnt have had a more smooth entry into the game as i was there, and it was VERY frustrating, however they have made strides to make it better and currently most people are extremly happy with the game. As far as wasting tax dollars go, its the government its their decision to make the choices as far as what is important and whats not. If you have a major problem with it, go plead your case in court. Otherwise your just a typical jaded consumer/gamer with nothing else to do but complain about how you didnt get your slice of the pie first.

OK, Operations was an excellent idea. It's fun and shows off whatever army bs they wanted to. HOWEVER... AN RPG IN THE ARMY?! WHAT THE FUCK?!

"players can adjust and guide their characters by changing their values and goals. For example, a player might decide to develop more Integrity for their character or to get their character involved in amateur sports. Or they might try to get their character a date."

What in the fuck does this have to do with the army AT ALL?! What is it doing in a game where you're supposed to be a soldier?! If you're at war why not raid villages for foreign prostitutes or rape the locals? A story about a soldier in the army? Don't get me wrong, propaganda is propaganda but this is perhaps pushing it to new limits.

your whining is .... displeasing me... have you played the game, for free I might add??
