saw this thread http://forum.americasarmy.com/viewtopic.php?t=306835

some interesting stuff really like this:

"America's Army program chief engineer Michael Barnett said SpeedTree will be implemented in the latest iteration of the franchise to create large, immersive environments and dense forests for the publicly available America's Army 3''

so they are licensee-ing some new software etc still for aa3.

you know the game could still come good, not holding my breath though.

how big maps we talking like 10x bf2? l0l

I think they're more talking about forests in general, as they're usually pretty hard to do, or super demanding on PC's, eg crysis.

point is it sounds like they are at least @ work on it with a view to the future.

whatfuture?

oh please god no, no more big maps, i think jst intergrate old maps and jazz them up a little.

or instead of maps, fix the game?

or we cud all just go play game arena servers AA2.

So if the maps become "large, immersive environments and dense forests"; How long are the rounds going to be? If they are too large, I can see this being "real time" game play ... O.o

^ I hope not... anything that makes it more like arma is a bad thing imho.

damnit, i wanna get into matches again. BUT NOW THERES NOTHING TO PLAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

anything u post is just a jar of broken promises and lies.

crysis isnt that demanding anymore though with new technology. but when it was released even the top end pc's did struggle in the forests etc

It's still the most demanding game in existince but isn't it? Running it on maximum details is still a challenge to get decent fps out of... afaik

tbh forget aa3 for now... it's way glitchy... i dont no why we just cant continue playing aa2... even if u had 10 teams is that ne different to prevoius ladders... i rekn ya should reopen the aa2 ladders....
like get the aa2 ladder up.. focus on that until fail fail 3 doesnt become so fail.

May be re-open the AA community to comeptitive AA2 with a twist in how it is played. Get some fun back in to the ladder to get everyone back playing, and then look at the more competitive options.

Keen to see some more AA played - was just starting to enjoy AA2 when 3 came along and ruined it for everyone.

said in another thread but an older version where the game was less restrictive could work
