Hey, I play this game on a regular basis as well. I'm a poor college student, so I can't afford to buy the latest games like CS (and I don't use/download warez), so I play this free game.
It's pretty good, actually, better than some of the games that cost $25 or more.

What handle do you play under and what server are you usally on?? I play under the same name, sTiCk_E_mOuSe, and usally play in the HomeLAN west servers. Maybe we catch each other in a game sometime...

Hope to see you online. I use Rubberbband but I jump around from server to server.

i can hardly believe you cant afford counter strike. you can get half life for 15 bucks, then you just need to download the cs addon.

lol, if only you knew how much i spend on tuition, apartment, bills, etc.

$15 + $5 shipping = $20!!
OMG!! $20!!! That's enough to buy food for two weeks!

Hmmmm...food or game....food or game ............=)

i bought a copy when it was 10 bucks, and a word of advice, its the same shipping cost for up to 3 games, so you can get a freind who wants to buy a game from them too and you can split the shipping.

steam is still in beta but you can download it from a number of sites and it doesnt require an installation of cs or hl

For the love of God, and all thats holy...
 
Version 1.6 of America's Army is out and it runs great.

I've been playing this game too, but I can't figure out how to get my honor up. I shot one of my guys by accident and it dropped to 8 and I can't play any maps now that are official since you need at least 9.

It's a great game though.

Honour is awarded based on a points system. Your score on "official" servers (+ or-) is submitted and your honor gooes up or down. From 8-19 honor points it takes 1000 points to go up a level 20 to 39 you need 2500. To get your honor back go to the "pratice maps" and play until you can get to 9.

That's the thing. I got bumped down to 7 since the only practice board is in the dark and I suck. It seems awful hard to get 1000 points to get another honor point vs losing points for accidently hitting your own people.

I love the bridge level and want to play on an official server again.

HL is 9.99 at Walmart NO shipping and then the free CS update.....Cant afford it??? ....wow

-=[ I was walking through the forest the other day and a tree fell behind me. I didn't hear a thing... Does that answer your question? ]=-
 
Create a new account and redo the basic training then you'll be back online.I mostly play the Pipeline Map. Here's a big tip (it took me a while to figure this out at first): Enemies don't have helmets or backpacks on. That should make it easier for ya to identify friendlies.

I've gotten a much better handle of the game. Honor is 15 now and my username is dhlucke if you ever see me on there. I'm pretty much always on the bridge level at official servers.
