The follow-up to Call of Duty 4 does plenty of little things better than its predecessor but is unfortunately marred by one incredibly bad decision. Find out why.

 In America's Army 3, Every Detail CountsTM and as a result, the game has more authentic military elements including training, technology, weapons, and audio than any other military game. Built on Unreal Engine 3, AA3 delivers stunningly realistic environments, lighting effects, animations, and team-based experiences so that America's Army players can experience how Soldiers train, live, and advance in the Army. Players are bound by Rules of Engagement (ROE) and gain experience as they navigate challenges in team-based, multiplayer, force-on-force operations. In the game, a player's actions and demonstrated Army values are integral to successful mission accomplishment and affect a player's career progression.As we mentioned a few months ago it looks like a really cool addition to the series. Now, unfortunately due to the annoyingly painful way they've changed their distribution model (avid fans of my whining might remember me bitching about it when it was first released), it's not possible for us to mirror this like any other conventional download since the dawn of time, and as such it'll be a little bit harder for Australians to get. We did have the option to become an official America's Army distribution partner, but (for now) we've declined for primarily technical reasons about how their system works. However, you can download it off Steam. So they haven't made your lives totally miserable if you want to check it out - as long as your ISP has Steam Content Servers, anyway.

I played the public beta last week, was pretty damn awesome imo, but now that I have the release via steam, it's crashing on launch, kinda disappointing (fixed this, had corrupted install), but a temporary issue, I would still recommend it along with a dose of patience and the knowledge that it's a free game that imho destroys many other AAA games, the bugs wont last, but the gameplay will.
As for steam speeds, I managed 1/4 my connection speed when getting the extra files to unlock/update this morning, no big deal though. there auth servers are getting totally smashed atm though, just waiting it out.
Yea I would still like to see the client here on AusGamers, Steam is the next best option though.

you should definitely post on the AA forums and ask why they no longer have the standard installers available like they used to... they'll probably give you some spiel about how the new deploy client makes it easier for users to download. They don't get metered bandwidth, basically.

Complete the obstacle course and it says success and when you try and advance it says incomplete.

The auth servers are under immense strain since everyone is trying to do the same thing at once, when the demand subsides the issue with auth will also, during beta it was flawless, all my training results saved just fine but obviously not even close to the load it's under now.

There's only Yank servers, and lo and behold, once you're on a server, it still says you don't have the proficiency to use anything but the m16a4 with iron sights anyway.
Gameplay, despite supposedly having an 80ping (not bloody likely), seems like its absolute dogballs shit, most people on the server were complaining it was terrible compared to previous AA's....
I didn't play the previous ones, but i'll be uninstalling this anyway, its shit.

The patch has fixed auth for me, got all my training done, 1st server I joined did not recognise my raining also, but I had the foresight to just rejoin, got all my weapons/nades/IFAK then, the pings displayed are wrong for some reason, it's about 2-3x whats shown, and yea, atm it's all US servers, GA had one up but I could not join it (before the patch), no idea why.
Overall, the patch helped ALOT. Once we get some local servers it will be sweet as, west coast US servers are playable... just.

No Aussie servers makes baby Jesus cry. Also the calculations for your/the servers ping is just plain wrong.
Posted 08:40pm 21/6/09
And yea pings are about 1/3 what they really are, kinda lame.

Just try out those IP's see how you go, some may be down from time to time.
To get in open console and type "open xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" you might need to add the port, default AA3 port is 8777, try with and without port if you have issues.

EDIT: Its still buggy as all shit. I cant get the HUD to show, cant get Anti Aliasing to work and if you hit escape to get to the settings menu while in game, you cant escape from the menus rendering you unable to play. Ahhhh fuck.
