(Release) America's Army 3

[Ihmhi]

The dev team fucked up the release so bad that they all got fired. Awesome.

If you've been thinking about playing this game, stay away from it for a while. It's frustrating to even get anything to work.

Sounds about right. Couldn't download for hours, steam servers busy, and then I heard a bunch of people couldn't even register so I just deleted the damn thing.

Yes, it's quite fucked up. Avoid it.

Well as a common rule, I avoid anything with ARMY in the name. How bout a ooh-rah or Semper Fi.

The American media has no understanding of wars, or the men who fight those wars.
That deficit, along with an anti-military, pro-muslim imperialist prejudice common to
most “journalists” should be factored into the reading of the constant propaganda
drivel that they spew out. The media’s descriptions of the battles of Fallujah were as
slanted as usual. However, they did get a few things right. Some news stories
accurately described portions of the US Marine Corps defeat in the two battles of
Fallujah. Fallujah Battles, Iraq is an e-book that honestly describes the corrosive
influence in embedded US journalists. Although Marine Corps NCOs and enlisted
men are excellent military material, in most cases they are poorly trained and
incompetently led. In fact, the only bright spots of the battles of Fallujah were
those brought about by Marine Corps NCOs who performed their tactical
maneuvers in an excellent manner. Fallujah Battles, Iraq describes what really
happened in Fallujah. The strange psychology of some US Marine Corps leaders
is contrasted with the warrior heroism exemplified by others. There is no doubt that,
properly supported by tanks and self-propelled artillery, three regiments of marine
infantry could have conquered Fallujah with minimal casualties. However, the Marine
generals have continued the tradition of not understanding how to use tanks, which
has prevailed since World War II. A hard corps of strong Marine Corps NCOs
cannot compensate for a lack of division, regimental, battalion, and company
leadership.
“Fallujah is a cancer," said Major Gen Richard Natonski, commander of the 1st Marine Division, who would lead any
ground attack. "We can't have a sanctuary for the enemy and expect to make progress.” General Natonski, who the
muslim Nazis condemn as a “Polish Jew”, understands the nature of the enemy that he is fighting. He said he had
received no request from the Iraqi government to carry out military operations in Fallujah, and offered no opinion on
whether a peaceful solution was possible. "I don't know who they're negotiating with."
He made clear that his men were ready for action in Fallujah. "It's a rats' nest, but if we have to go in and clear it out we
will." He urged the foreign elements in Fallujah and those loyal to Saddam Hussein's regime to come out and fight.
"We can take these guys on if they show their faces. Not a problem whatsoever. That's why they've resorted to the tactics
they have [suicide bombings and IEDs] because they know every time we face them we kill them." ”

While recovering from Vietnam, the Corps hit a detrimental low point in its service history caused by courts-martial and Non-Judicial Punishments related partially to increased Unauthorized Absences and Desertions during the war. Overhauling of the Corps began in the late 1970s, discharging the most delinquent, and once quality of new recruits improved, the Corps focused on reforming the NCO Corps, a vital functioning part of its forces.

The first 2 were horrible, why play the 3rd?

Something about whether you miss the target or not depending on an algorithm rather than where I'm fucking aiming just doesn't sit well with me.

There are tons of issues from what I've read...
Mainly, the authentication servers are down. This makes joining ANY server imposible.

Also, they haven't released a stand-alone DS (Dedicated Server) tool yet. You have to cut it out of a full install.
