Forum

I talked in general, that SS was just an example, stop trowing blame at that single event. It's everyday the same thing. Last night i had Ak4 Chubbs calling me ignorant because he plays this game for 5 years now and there's no 4x ping rule. Everyone knows you always see your real ping but you need to multiply by 4 the ping of other players, so if you see someone with 20, in reality they have 20x4 = 80. Same for them, you have 100 ping but they see you with 25.

It's this crap everyday, people don't know anything but still start calling names.
Again, i talked in global, not just about that case. I have even seen players joining different teams so they can ghost, people with 2 computers, 1 idle to check for enemys position, players on servers with password killing idles so they can get better stats... I could go on and on.

*edit* I still love the game, just not the players...

Was the former Volunteer Staff. People that helped on forums and that spent some time on IRC supporting issues, new players and related stuff. -> sergio.ircstaff.americasarmy.com

Disappointment

So i started playing in September 2004 with a group of real life friends that invited me so i could make their site, a project called Portuguese Rangers, few months later was Admin of the Portuguese Community called AAOPortugal, ingress on Portuguese Warriors aka PTwars where i still have some good friends, even if they went to other games or stopped playing because how life goes... Was HTGN Admin, admin on a Anti Cheating entity that belonged to August (sorry but can't remember the name), private member at PsB, ACI, AON, PBbans and joined TWL AC by end when i was playing everyday the game at CAL, TWL, ClanBase, ESL. I had haters because of what i was doing at TWL, i remember we banned like 100 players in 2 weeks maybe (Jackmeup and Cipher ), had people following me on servers, calling names, making youtube videos of me with my hi5 pictures, was kinda LoL but i was always thinking, "well they are just kids..." So i was never a hardcore player or nothing even remotely related with that, most of you shouldn't even remember me, but i tried to always respect everyone.
I stopped playing around middle 2008, when Windows 7 got out, the sound wasn't the same for me, i had several hours on every map, knew almost every map sound and all the sudden was like a new game, i had to relearn every sound map but honestly didn't had the patience, so i stopped playing. Yes i played with sound, no tweaks needed, but a different OS changed the game as i knew it before.

Now getting to the point.
A few guys that were working on 2.5 for a long time finally had the chance to step up when authentication went down, and so it was. I heard about the project but was really busy at work and only had the chance to try the game again around March. Got addicted again, will always be my favorite game, the one...
What we have today should be like 85% old players and really enjoyed this game, being the remaining new players. So if 85% are old players, that were the kids on servers a few years ago, some of them should be grow up now right?
WRONG!!!
I never seen the game like this... And that's why i'm truly disappointed...
Everyone calling names, and i'm not talking noob names, offensive ones.
People don't understand the team meaning, they only wanna frag, even if they need to kill the teammate next to him.
People using cheats because it's so cool to own people on a free outdated game...
Players that no one ever heard about playing for one week already calling them selfs top players.
People don't understand what a mistake is or line of fire. Sometimes we can misplace a flash, why everyone now had to just teamkill you because of that?
And so on, really, i'm tired of this crap, it's a game, ffs, wanna offend people? Dial a random number on your mobile and talk with that person, don't come to a server insulting people that are there to relax.
This was during a war:

Are this our best players? Always bragging, no modesty, no respect for others...

Ok, i had to say this, most of you won't even read this or will be like WTH is wrong with him or even who is that guy...
*sigh* AA won't ever be the same, not because of the game, but people of the players, of those kids now are grew up but are even worst, at least while they are connected to a server... Just remember, you could complain before, there was a whole team working for you guys, to conquer you into the game, but not anymore, there are only people doing this for free, still waiting to please you guys but everything you do is come here and still complain like you are the boss of anyone in here.

Change yourselfs if you don't want this game to die all over again...
 

Please give the same icon to all soldiers, don't start going this way...

now we might have to wait 2 months to play again ..

You guys won't even notice this transfer. Again, you should appreciate all work done by Spanky, not blame him...

@Possessed, don't revive old topics for nothing;

True story, he should know better

Are you talking about this??
M86 Pursuit Deterrent Munition (PDM)

Only available offline or online if you/someone else has admin powers, the PDM (Pursuit Deterrent Mine) is a grenadelike contraption. When the two pins are pulled and it is thrown, the brave fellow sets up shop as soon as it hits the ground. It is a proximity grenade basically. When an OPFOR, or unsuspecting team-mate approaches too close, it snaps up into the air and leaves a meter-wide HE scorchmark on the ground. Usually, only one is needed to for a kill.

It's related with something you have installed on your computer. You need to figure it out or just do a clean windows install.
