It's gotta be this one for me, I sing this song all the time when I'm walking around NYC

Weeknights US time there are games, just download and hop in the chat you can see the server lists

Why you guys making fun of him when he's trying to support the community.

nprblm you are a good man!

Obviously that game was trash, even AA3 which still had some decent qualities was also trash compared to the glory of AA2...

What's your guys thoughts on the future of this game and franchise? Will they be making AA4/5? Video games are more popular than ever, if anything the Army and general military should be pouring money into these projects both for internal training as well as recruitment.

Does anyone have insight info on why they are shutting it down? I assume low player count. Is there a way we can get them to rejuvenate this game and version? Everyone on the reddit thread (https://www.reddit.com/r/Games/comments/snp85x/americas_army_the_pentagons_video_game_shuts_down/) talks about AA PG as if it's AA2, because that's their experience and memory. They don't even understand that it's an entirely different game with engine not related to the actual amazing one of AA1 and 2.

The first items tells you where the default download location is.
The second item tells you how to set custom locations.

The last two items might have something to do with your issue as well.

Thanks, I fixed it and downloaded the game correctly. However, I'm having trouble getting punkbuster to work (why you need terrible two-decade old anti-cheat in an old game is kinda beyond me lol if you told me punkbuster would still be around back in 2005 I would have killed myself)

I get into a server and it says PB restriction, heartbeats, and then the AA Assist client says to run as administrator and do fix PB. I do that, and punkbuster installs and everything works fine, but then the AA Assist client freezes and does not respond. When I reopen it and try and get into a game (assuming the PB fix / install worked correctly) I still get kicked again.

Thanks for your help teddy you're the man! Hoping to get some games in soon

I have my account set up and AA assist runs fine, but it says you need to download America's Army, which I do, but then there's either a runtime error or when the installation completes it doesn't register that it was installed / downloaded.

Where should I be saving my AA Asist folder? Right now I just extracted it to my downloads folder and ran the .exe from there. Does it matter where the folder sits?
