Omg this shouldnt be out for 2 years!!!

Posted: **Sun Dec 24, 2006 7:32 pm**

That's exactly what I thought!

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.

Actually it is Unrealedit lol
AA runs on unreal engine and thats the editor for it so....

I just tried it in 2.8, not many game changes basically just the map editor...

Posted: **Mon Dec 25, 2006 12:59 am**

I've actually been able to make a world area. I haven't been able to find out how to add bots, vehicles, or a Skydome.

3dbuzz.com is a great place to learn unrealed if anyone is interested

Posted: **Mon Dec 25, 2006 1:34 pm**

Lol, I think we're the only ones who are interested in this swbf_lase.

I'm going by two tutorials the America's Army website provided. They're goin pretty good.

Unfortunately Vista is preventing me from launching the map editor....

Even still, I think that I would not have the time to work on maps for AA

I have been so confused about America's Army game, do you buy or download? Lol.

Posted: **Mon Dec 25, 2006 11:48 pm**

It is completely free.

Go to www.americasarmy.com

One of the best 1st-person shooters with rather good graphics.

Posted: **Mon Dec 25, 2006 11:56 pm**

it's a free downlaodable game?! That's wierd...

I'll stay on the safe side

Posted: **Tue Dec 26, 2006 12:01 am**

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.

Note: These are actual in-game screens.

Posted: **Tue Dec 26, 2006 12:56 am**

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.

Posted: **Tue Dec 26, 2006 12:59 am**

Yes that's right. All online period. The opposite side always looks like terrorist. So no matter what, you're always on the U.S. Forces.

Posted: **Tue Dec 26, 2006 1:00 am**

I.... wanna... download.....

no.. must .. resist......

It looks cool, but i don't want to download anything now

Posted: **Tue Dec 26, 2006 1:06 am**

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!

whoa....

Posted: **Wed Dec 27, 2006 1:01 am**

Lol. Yep it's a pretty large file for those who don't have it installed already.

Posted: **Wed Dec 27, 2006 7:41 pm**

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

)
