Does anyone play americas army 2

Do you honestly think I like all the decisions that have been made? I notice you never comment when I bother to lay out my own critique of the game, but just love to get your digs in.

Bravo, I say. The Army may want certain things, true. However, we'd be kidding ourselves to say that they don't take some player feedback and implement it in the game.

Back in the beta for AAPG there various things that they implemented because the players wanted them. There are certain things that seem unfortunately to be off limits and lots of things that never came about despite the community pushing hard from them, but let's not forget that the game didn't have leaning and OpFor weapons to start, all of the maps were cardboard cutout training maps, player movements all had heavy acceleration values, shooting patterns had lots of random variables, sway patterns were completely random, all servers had two revives Many of those things changed to how they currently are due to player feedback.

I do think that as the beta started wrapping up especially after it got out of closed beta the desire to listen to player feedback lessened, but it still was there. I remember so many threads on the forums about people complaining about bunny hoppers and players who crouch spammed because they couldn't aim so therefore it had to be put to a stop.

I also remember long threads in the forum about flash bangs needed to be more effective because realism. At that point in time the game had a huge player base, you don't make changes like that and not expect huge repercussions. I don't care what some big shot at the Army who probably doesn't play the game wants yes, I know what they want is what goes -- Not the point here. The point of this game at the end of the day is to get tons of eyes on the US Army.

So no matter who you want to say is the customer, if the so-called customer is the only one playing this game then it's failed. Sorry, but I can hardly recall a time in recent memory where I've heard someone who isn't in their 20s or older playing AAPG.

At the time it was thread after tread of realism junkies saying that they wanted the game to be more realistic. The Army gave into these people and the game suffered. Even today we get people on here who want AAPG or AA5 to be more like Arma a niche game rather than trying to compete with the big boys. You talk about people who want the game to be the way they want for selfish reasons.

They'd rather a round based Arma clone that will get 5, people playing vs. Isn't it possible those things got done because that was the direction the Army wanted to go?

It's not like the Comp crowd wasn't noisy. Why didn't THEY influence the build? Flatlander Posts: Player. I'm not defending the reasons, I'm stating what I see as facts. That's all. Stating facts doesn't suggest I'm condoning them. Unlike: As to the Comp Beta group, I wasn't a Beta then, but my impression of 'most' of the comp crowd in general was that they were belligerent, entitled, disruptive, demanding, and terrible at useful feedback here in the Public Forum.

I have no idea if they behaved the same way behind 'Closed' doors, and if they did, I'd not be allowed to comment on it anyway. The forums were toxic back then, and I hated it. So, all we can do is move forward and learn from our mistakes, I hope. I don't mean the comp beta group, I mean the closed beta prior to open beta what was that from May to August ?

Either way, regardless of anything, any of us few remaining here want to see a successful America's Army game.

I just caution the Dev team to really figure this thing out before anything. Really understand the market and do it right. Unfair or not, that was it for the game. Simply put guys the army gives the direction on how they want the game made. AA:PG is proving grounds. The game also has to have its own signature. Keeps it separated from other games with large studios that inc everything into the game that most players are looking for today like every gun, throwable device, 2nd hand weapon that does exists or does not.

If you think about it no one will be ever happy with any game because they have their own idea of what should or should not be imputed into the game. If you asked me I would love to see old maps. Ohh but wait I can They are in steam workshop.

But I want to play them when I want and I don't want to pay a server, Ohh that's right we can host a server from our own rigs now. But I am not sure how to set it up? That's right there are guides and other players that have successfully done it and I can get help setting up.

Ohh man now I don't have anyone to play with and fill my server. So my question would be Cant it be acessed from or with steam? Thx guys. Koden Afficher le profil Voir les messages. Ninja Afficher le profil Voir les messages.

Don't agree. Lots of my buddies prefer AA2! Since donwloading AA3 one of the servers has completely banned me over an untidy ROE or somethin, it's a private server not an Army Server. Which kills me coz that server is the one I like on AA3. Afficher le profil Voir les messages. It is our main game along with Insurgency. Stop by and check us out. TS is 82nd. Play Game.
