America's Army is the official United States first-person shooter (FPS) game. The size of the game is about 2 GB. The graphics are fairly good but the gameplay is like TOO real. I was wondering if it is a popular FPS game or if any of you people play it

I think one of my family members played it a loooong time ago. I was too young to watch it back then.

I used to; then it was upgraded beyond the capabilities of my old computer, and I haven't installed it on the new one yet. It was good fun once I learned how to handle it, though; if you prefer slower, more methodological gameplay than more typical "run and gun" type shooters, it can be quite entertaining.

I play it. I just deleted it a few weeks ago for taking up too much room. I kept the 700MB .dmg though, I could probably reinstall it, and play again. I really suck at it though. I'm actually pretty good at fps. It's because of my non-gaming type of computer (2005 iBook G4). I passed all of the training except the last special ops one. Didn't have the patience to just do all of that sneaking around and hiding over and over. I just play the Bridge Crossing level, on the defensive side and hide out on the left side. Killing the offensive players at the middle building. Left side of the building, top, and the left crosswalk. In a 1vs1 situation close range, I will die 100%, because my comp lags a lot.

I've installed it about 3 times.

Installation #1: A glitch in a training mission prevented me from playing online.
Installation #2: A glitch in punkbuster prevented me from playing online.
Installation #3: It works! Unfortunately, it's boring.

Lol. Yes, it requires quite a bit of patience. In this game you can't really be pro right off the hop. :) Need to play a lot, and then you get good. There's more taking cover, and outsmarting the enemy than actually moving in and killing them. Unless your really know what you're doing. :)

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?
[04:25 am]
Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings

Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.

NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.

NudeRaider -- Contained nothing new for me. Didn't know all building's behavior, but very much all unit's. Also Terran balance whine - also nothing new :lol:
