Finally, we've added the America's Army Mission Editor Manual to our Online Manual site, along with two tutorials based on the missions - Border and Dusk! These manuals are also available in PDF format in our downloads section.

Just one more thing to map for. I can't wait until i'm done downloading this! There will be many maps, hopefully, coming from me.
Well I tested out the America's Army Mission Editor and it looks pretty hard.
It's the same editing type as UnrealEdit so I knew I wouldn't be looking at something easy like ZeroEdit.
It will definitly take a while to get used to and some people may even give up trying.
But I definitly want to make a map.
It's actually made by the Army lol. It's a promotional game. No viruses.
Here are some screenshots from their site. Lol, I don't want to take any right now. Besides the fact that my graphics card stinks and wouldn't look anything like the real thing.
The game is somewhat like Counter-Strike. Terrorists against U.S. Forces. Only an online game.
OOhhhH!, fancy. It's purely online right? I seem to remember hearing something about both sides seeing eachother as the terrorists, but that's just me.
HOLY [diet dr. pepper]! I started downloading about 20 minutes ago, and just checked now and saw "download 2% complete"
then I checked the file size:
THAT THINGS 2.25 GIGS!
I would suggest using a download manager for downloading AA (Some file hosts supply you with their own dl managers)
That way if your download is interrupted for a second or two, you won't have to start it over. For Firefox users I would heavily recommend 'down them all' (unless you are downloading from FileFront, it doesn't work with FileFront)
Start the download before you go to bed and it should be done sometime the following morning (hey, it saves you gaming time by using the computer when you are not in front of it....unless you are nocturnal )
I.... wanna... download.....
