Okay gentlemen lets here your official thoughts on the game and what you think are some of the good and the bad things in the game.
Remember no bad language and do this in a civil manner. Getting feedback from the community is really important here since this is the official place to talk about it. So if you want your opinions to be taken seriously then I would suggest it be done in a polite and proper manner.
Excellent, excellent game. There was only one major flaw with it, there wasn't really anything completely new to the game except that you get a shotgun sometimes and you can call in airstrikes. Also, the maps, they took out some of the best maps (Mout Mckenna, Pipeline, and Hospital). The maps that they did leave in all they did was change the name, move some objects around, and changed the time of day.
The game is ok there is a few bugs that could be looked at like freezing when you host a game. Another thing the jump has been took away that is not cool, Also picking up other weapons i miss that. Also there needs to be a boot option for the host. I get dumb people trying to tk me or my fellow team mates. why would you make a game without a boot option. Last whats with the limit of 8 people unless you go to ded and not play its not worth it. If everyone is broadband on xbox live at least you can make a game that will let you put more people in a game then 8. I rate this game a 6 worse AA ever made.PS should of waited for 360 insted of puting a game out so close to 360 launch.
Yeah, I love this game. The freezing issue needs to be addressed. Other than the freezing and drops, the other issues I have are minor. No weapon pick up, unable to see the different mods on the other players'weapons, no ability to use the 203 and a scope, and a few other things. The PC version has all of this. I can live with these little things, but the freezing and dropping must be addressed if this game is going to survive.
The game is very fun. I'd love to go on and on about how great it is... but I more would come from pointing out what needs to be fixed.
The crashing is horrible... and looking at the game itself, I don't like how you simply gain experience to qualify for different weapons on multiplayer. It would have been much better to make people qualify, and use experience only to let people attempt to qualify. As of now, people can end up with weapons that don't suit them at all. With no boot option, its impossible to make someone move if they arent as qualified for something as you. Soon... EVERYONE will be a Master Sergeant.
Graphics, while not up to par, I am not worried about. I'd rather have a good game in every other aspect... with graphics at last priority.
I am enjoying this game. Weapons firing is very realistic and spot on. I have heard some (alright one) comment that the weapons do not sound realistic...I can't speak for the SAW but I have shot an AK and a M16 and the weapons sound the same as in real life! Great job! That being said, the crashing issues are really starting to bug me. My second biggest gripe is, WHY OH WHY...can't we change maps without closing and restarting the server. This is such a disaster and a pain in the ***!

Exactly what he said. The game is awesome so far and very well done but the constant crashing is starting to go overboard already...please correct this major problem before the game loses it's fanbase.
well im a huge fan for americaas army for computer and coant wait till it comes out for ps2. all these things u are saying bout aa for x box r freaking me out. i mean they took away jumping picking up weapons and PIPELINE!! that was the greatest map in the game. but i realy hope the creators will read these threads and make the ps2 one better. And the crashing!!! mabey the x box has a crappy online system because u do gota pay and doesnt seem great so mabey and hopefully it will be better for ps2
and one more thing is the story mode(offline mode) good. i love playing the story, it has a point to it. so tell me how good it is and what it is like please
what truly makes a great game ,a challange , so why would you use the same maps over the pc version is great but the console version has me worried as i wait on the ps2 version release i dont want to waste 49 dollars on a game im going to get upset with and throw it out the window because i dont want to go back to the store and have to show my face affiliated w/ it so ubisoft you better step it up for ps2 because xbox vs pc the pc version is by far better so will you bums buy this xbox version back
The Pc version of AA is the bomb. The Xbox version well lets just say I wish that I would have rented it before buying it. Could have saved myself the $49.
ok, the swapping weapons thing is missed, the crashing thing is annoying as hell,but there are three beefs i have. 1st, is that when your gun is modded on SF maps, its not shown (there isnt even a rail sight!!), and 2nd, WHERE IS MY DEARLY BELOVED SNIPER THE SPR (special purpose rifle for you newbs to AA)!!!!!!!!!! the outdoor SF maps are now still limited to CQB's. 3rd and final is the experience being too **** easy to get. it takes newbs 3 hrs to get SF qualified, and they still don't know how to use the IR laser at night...i liked the need to pass 2 tests thing before you can be SF b/c the training/tests were somewhat hard. other than that, the game is amazing, just put out some patches, and all's well. (and maybe some older maps, like courtyard or hospital)
Is this game really good i want to buy it but ive seen to many negative threads. All i need to know how are the graphics and how is the ai in this game i dont want stupid teamates and shoot against the dumb cpu. If any1 can answer this i would really appreciate it
i will first start out by saying i played and loved the original america's army for the computer. so much so that i tried everything in my powers to upgrade my computer to keep up with the game. unfortunately that did not pan out too well and only after several months of play i was cut off until now. got my game a few days ago for the xbox.
my first thought after putting the disk in and pushing the start button was not too bad. although it took a minute i turned the music volume off. horrible music but most games have bad music in my opinion. i'm into heavy metal so no big deal with the music.
i than see that there is a career mode thinking it was like the original online game i thought it was qualification. than low and behold i see there are more than the qualifications to be done. i was like woohoo! than i got to the last missions for the saw and sniper and that's when the game turned to being not so good. the change from the m82 to the m24 for the final missions for the sniper sucks. especially since i'm supposed to be working with the best of the best in the armed forces. i get 5 shots to try to take out 10 guys in time so my team doesn't take too many casualties. and the reload time while under fire is horrible. i know it's supposed to be realistic and all but come on. and if it is supposed to be realistic how come my team mates can not kill anything?
the best thing i have seen with the saw was on the last mission right in the beginning. after getting bombed we get assaulted from the hill and the rocks in front of the ruins we're in. there was an opfor standing up not moving so i sight him up and i start to shoot at him. well a whole clip later and he was still standing. now i know i'm not the best shot with the saw but i would think with 200 rds i could at least hit him a few times to take him out. but no i did not. this happened twice on different occasions. i did get past that part but not much further. it's hard to take on an entire army by myself.
at this point i decided to try the online game. after trying to get into several games and my game freezing i gave up for a while. than went back and got into a game. only to find out that even qualifying for weapons on the single player game all i could get is the simple m16. i am than told that i have to earn points just like the single player game in order to get enough points to be able to select different weapons. yet another disappointment. and of course the teams i'm on although i ask for help with the mission and where i should set up. i figure we should work as a team online and all i get are the people who think it's halo and it's a free for all. at least the original computer game had people that liked to play the way the game should be played.
my impression at this point in the game is disappointment.
poor team mate a.i. in single player game causes too many injuries to players character. and makes completing later missions impossible due to lack of support by team mates. i know the slogan is "an army of one" but that's not what this game promotes. it promotes team work. one more little quirk i don't like is having to go through all the videos before you start a mission. if i played a mission once i should be able to skip it. it just turns into a waste of time after the first time seeing it. it's as bad as the a.i. after a while. especially when you have to restart a mission over and over again. sooooooo frustrating.
online play is horrible. i think i could code better and i don't even know how to. my first try at the online play was 10 attempts all of which froze my game. than when finally in a game the server crashes and it's back to re- selecting from the main online screen to the server screen. it should just go right to the server screen. and the majority of the players online are more halo type players than team players. almost forgot the whole fact that i need to play online to get experience pts. so i can choose different team positions like sniper or grenadier. this would not be a problem if i could get more than one game at a time. and not have to keep restarting the servers or my system.
there are a few good things in the game like familiar maps from when i played the original cpu game. some really good early missions. a few other things that just don't make up for the short comings in the game.
i was looking forward to this game for a long time. and i've been let down. maybe if there's updates to fix a lot of these problems than the game will be good but i wouldn't buy this game for my worst enemy. i basically got this game for the online play and i can't even do that since i can hardly get into a game to play.
well i finally bought it and its fun. The mouth dont move when they talk but at least it tells u whos talkin. Online is fun i really like it. Single player is fun but like alot of single player games it gets boring. I would reccomend buyin this. Just make sure u have online because without online u will get bored. If u like the army buy it its a great simulator.

Can't say it any better. This problem ruins an otherwise good game. Hope it's fixed by a patch...soon.
