While this game has America's Army's name, they ditched the support for this game long before they shut down the auth servers. I was thinking it is time to shape the game to our liking now, because without changes people might lose interest.
First step towards this would be to have an option to select the side with preferred weaponry. How often do you get to use SVD sniper rifle now? I feel it's a shame that so many good weapons are going to waste.
I am confident that that this change would bring a lot of more new players in, than it would take out, and this matters very much.
Think about it: You hear that you can finally play as OPFOR in this AA, would you install the game again, just for the curiosity?
No, as a matter of fact, I would probably quit the game because they didn't accurately balance the weapons. The AK is way better than the m16. Not to mention it's not our game to fuck with. Sure we could change all that, but I don't feel like altering a game someone else made. It's the same way with artwork. You don't edit someone else's artwork without their permission. The army never gave us permission to change their game. We could give teams Opfor weapons and skins, but everything else abnout the team would still be American, like the voices.
Thinking about ti some more, I din't think we could make 2 separate teams, opfor and US army. No matter what you do the enemy will have opfor skins or U.S. skins permanently. I don't think there is a way to alter them based on what team you're on as that is not how the game was made. We can't edit the game code.
