AA3 Released By admin | April 1, 2009 - 3:59 pm - Posted in News 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.
cool.gif 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.)

After a short hiatus one of Didkeys relatives made back into the news!

Wis. boy's essay leads to charge against his dad

Tue Feb 17, 8:50 pm ET

OREGON, Wis. – A father allegedly shot his 9-year-old son in the buttocks with a BB gun, a revelation that came to light after the boy wrote a school essay about the incident. The boy had written an essay about the "painful afternoon my Dad shot me with a BB gun." The elementary-school teacher turned the essay over to authorities.

Prosecutors charged the 36-year-old father on Friday with one felony count of child abuse. The charge carries a maximum penalty of 6 years in prison and a $10,000 fine.

The criminal complaint said the father told an investigator he shot the boy after the child didn't move fast enough from blocking the TV. He said he aimed at his son's rear pocket because he thought it would be more padded.

"I knew right away it was a stupid thing I did," the father said. "I told my kids the only way I'm going to touch them is to kiss them, hug them, tickle them. I was very, I was not under the influence of anything. It was a very stupid decision."

He was released Friday on a signature bond and ordered not to threaten or engage in any acts of violence against his son. He was also ordered not to engage in physical discipline of any child.

A brother from NarcSgts' Department was critically shot today in the line of duty protecting his community. =US= sends thoughts and prayers for him, his family and friends and all of the fellow officers. Our sincere thanks and gratitude go out to him for his selfless courage and sacrifice. Godspeed on your recovery Officer. We salute you.

St. Petersburg, Florida -- An undercover detective with the St. Petersburg Police Department is in surgery at Bayfront Medical Center this morning after suffering multiple gunshot wounds during a shootout with possible robbery suspects.

A spokesman for the agency would not release the name of the special investigations unit detective, but did say the officer was conscious when he arrived at the hospital.

The assistant chief of police tells 10 Connects, an undercover unit was performing surveillance on a group of suspects who attempted to rob the Exxon Gas Station at 3061 1st Avenue North.

There was an exchange of gunfire when detectives tried to take the suspects into custody. Police say all three were arrested, but not before shooting the undercover detective multiple times in an alley way just south of the gas station.

Police say over the past several months they have been investigating a string of armed convenience store robberies across St. Petersburg and are trying to determine if this case might be related.

The Chief of Police has a news conference planned for early Tuesday morning. We'll have more information here on 10Connects.com as it becomes available.
