The latest version of America's Army: Version 3 has been released! America's Army three point oh brings a revolution to the way the game is distributed. The America's Army distribution system designed to more efficiently download the game, thus getting you in-game faster! Head on over to our Downloads page and get yourself into a game of America's Army: Version 3. Release Notes :
1) Random play maps: These are maps based on a set of tile meshes that seemlessly bind together to form a map. As rounds progress the map will actually change because the server will reorient these locking tiles forming new and exciting configurations. So far there will only be one CQB map that will showcase this new technology. The map is as of yet unnamed but will have sand and definately have helicopters flying around overhead.
2) Kill assist tracking: In order to promote teamplay and fire participation the army has decided that any player that strikes an enemy with bullets, flashes, or grenades will recieve partial (5 points) credit for the kill even though this will not be displayed in console messages. To offset the increases in points recieved, ROE violations will now be twice as severe.
3) New Ammo types: To reflect the true operations in Afganistan soldiers who play specific tours (such as the new maps) will be able to field SF weapons chambering the 7.62mm round. This reflects actual rechambering of weapons in Afganistan as a result of soldiers literally running out of ammo as they cleared tunnel systems. In real life the guns were rechambered to fire the Russian 7.62mm variant from banana clips picked up off of dead combatants. Obviously this will mean more Recoil and lower accuracy, but the hitting power increase is astounding. In this mode, however an SF operator may only fit the M68 aimpoint or the Acog Reflex sights.
4) Authentic wounding: Now instead of limping about from upper chest wounds you will actually be punished in various ways for injuries to specific areas. A shot to the neck will cause blurred vision and lowered accuracy. A shot to the arms will result in extreme accuracy reduction and an inability to throw grenades. A shot to the torso will affect Stamina in running and breathing patterns in sights up. A shot to the groin will prevent you from ever having children, compounded with all of the above effects.
5) SOPMOD additions: Increasing the repetoire of available SF weapon modifications has always been a priority now all the SF weapons will be able to mount:
a) MasterKey Shotgun - This addition replaces the harris bipod or M203 attachment with a powerful shotgun that can defeat breachable doors or cause conciderable damage in close quarters.
Bayonette - While knives have been discussed at length the bayonette has stayed well out of the discussion. To utilize this mod one cannot mount a silencer. The fire mode must be switched to 'thrust' upon close quarters battle the player's character pawn with kill any SINGLE enemy that is within a 2ft radius, unobstructed by obstacles when the fire button is depressed.
c) Flashlight - Very useful for the maps where we cant jack up our brightness or where our NV goggles run out of juice. This is a seriously badass mod.
d) C-clip or 'drum clip'. Foregoing all but one reserve clip will allow you to mount the C-clip which is 100 rounds readied in a case under the weapon. The power of this mod is that it allows a player to 'spray and pray'.
e) Laser Pointer attachment - The usefulness of this attatchment goes far beyond the normal targeting usage. It is great for really pissing off your CO or messing with your stray cat back in the bunk. I mean seriously…. this thing is the [TOS Violation].
f) Garage door opener (works on any and all garages… really just a 'door opener')
g) the 'My other gun is SF too' Butt-stock sticker. What gun isnt complete without a whitty butt-stock accessory such as this.
h) Pattented 'bullet shaped' 'back massager' for 'intimate moments'. No comment. Cpl Steve also has no comment. Infact stop asking questions about this altogether.
i) Sand extractor (for your vagina… I mean you do like SF)
j) Cornflakes - C'mon these things are like the best cereal ever. Who wouldnt want to mount them on a gun?
k) Tissue dispensers (for those moments AFTER you are done screaming at your monitor when you die… sometimes a good cry is all you need.)
