Subject: AA:PG getting better... Tue Jun 03, 2014 10:02 pm
Just going around bookmarked forums for anyone interested. AA Proving Grounds has improved. New and oldschool maps. Including Bridge and Pipeline. M16 will be coming in a few days, and the M-24 will be coming in the near future.
Here are the upcoming patch release notes. If you tried AA:PG and it wasn't for you, I suggest you come back and try it. It's beginning to look and feel a lot more like "America's Army". If only they'd fix the medic/health system though Ohh we,, I keep badgering them about it on the AA forums. They are paying attention to players, and we are actually seeing quite a few of things changed tthat we ask for. Sure it takes a while, AA has always been slow, but it's shaping up to be a decent game again.

This game sucked hard back in 2013; it resembled the CoD franchise rather than the AA series in my opinion. But, according to this video above, it looks like the good old AA2 indeed. Maybe it's about time for me to crawl out of the woodwork and clean that rusty M16!
Can't wait to play alongside you again you sexy bitches!

All good. Working like a slave in a different area (Portuguese TSA, 18 months now), got a motorcycle and I’m ridding like a maniac. I miss the game and you guys, A LOT.
How are you guys?

For me and some of us are kinda still waiting on a Full release of AA:PG or Americas Army Proving Ground. Now it's on Beta still. You can D/L the Beta if ya like.

Wow, that stirs some old time memories.
At the begin, I can still here Mario demand the player who beat him to the 203 to give him the slot or he is going to ban his "Cheating Jew Ass"(LMAO). And me running far left so not to get hit with Enemy 203 spam. Or having the AR and going far right and laying down cover fire hoping to hit those running along the catwalk. While all the time watching our ledge looking for Greco who love to play defense and did quit well rushing our right ledge. So well in fact, Mario temporarily banned him before be he became a member. LMAO
Then at the car. Your peaking looking down the road for potential kills by their car. You see E right back (which most times was Slaughter or {Thanatos}Angel trying to sneak to front right) . So you jump to the catwalk to the left and throw a grenade across middle tower. Timing it so it goes off mid air. The move perfected by =[C]=Blast. BAM he dead. "Sitting your Ass Down" as Recon would say.
You get to middle and you hurry to the left to get a peak at cat and left window. Hoping =[C]=Angel isn't waiting in the window with her sniper rifle or you are dead. Luckily you quickly bunny hope back behind tower so you don't get sniped or shot. And you hear T-Bone over TS "I am running naked down the left ledge WEEEEEEEE. SHIT!!! See ya at the bottom." He slips and falls into the abyss and spends the rest of the round inspecting the integrity of the bridge pillars. Calls for help and with help from "Server Lag" Fetus who is rushing right ledge lags off the ledge.
Meanwhile, You decide it is safe because they are watching T-Bone streaking, and run on the cat and jump to the ladder to get to the top of mid tower. And you lay down. Or you try to lay down and it won't let you because some noob is in your way and you get hit. Your not dead, but, bleeding. You yell for MEDIC!!!!. Hoping the opfor doesn't hear you. Thirty seconds later, and your health is now "Yellow" You see our favorite Nurse "Papi" comes to heal you. Always count on Papi to heal you. Now matter what bullets were flying. Strange though, all the while you being healed you heard a slurping noise. HAHAHA!!! Now, you are patched up. And ready to finish this.
So you get up and have a look around hoping Firelady that is with you at top mid is covering you. You see the bastards are exploiting stairs. Admin Message "Stop exploiting the Stairs you Twat!!!" compliments of Mario. Rauski, who has rushed and made it all the way to the defensive stairs takes out one execution style. Then from front right CompanyMan has the sniper rifle and takes out the other stair exploiter. He was always a bit slow but seemed to always have a dead eye when it came to Sniping. Course he was "Hosting" the server at the time so he had no lag, while everyone else has walking around like "Frankensteins". He kept that gem to himself for the longest time. And everyone thought he was just trying to save money. He was exploiting all of us. HAHAHAHA. Just kidding boss. Without your hosting, none of this would have happened. Any, I transgress
We move forward. We clear the car with grenades and keep an eye on the left hill for those annoying snipers or that annoying AR and especially that one player Mario always knew was a "Hacker" but never had any proof, but, was eventually caught, Cat or something. Spent many hours on Docabn's couch, flustered because I couldn't get any proof. Anyway, We pop smoke past tower to block Earl's view who is camping on 2nd Hill since the first of the round with a sniper rifle. We get to the tower. Gringo clears the tunnel of the tunnel Rats with a flash bang and a shot to the head and two in the chest with a little bit of tea baggin. We clear the tower.
I am at top stairs. I take a peak. Earl has moved to the last pillar and is prone.
The prick nicks me. I am bleeding so I need to hurry. So I pop smoke, run back through tunnel and make it to first hill. I am in the swell the Bleeding Stops but, I am red. I stop and listen for foot steps. Nothing. I know he has fallen back and hiding under a tree some where. Mean while =[C]=DocMacabebe AKA "Me_" has went idle. The "Forum Spam Master" is busy posting in the forums.
Luckily I have an extra smoke. That Got-it gave me before he logged off, because he had to leave early and to pick up his kids. So I throw smoke over by the pillars to mask my sound and make a distraction while a take a peak. Bob and Hippie locate him. Tired of his camping they grab their flash bangs and blind his ass and abuse him. He is finally take him out. We have 10 secs to make it to the tunnel. And Xd-Rifles steps to the truck and ends the round.
This happened over many rounds, and might be embellished a little, but its the way I remember it, many thanks to all for the experience.
Yep, good memories.

Yup, those were the days that I've long for and misses a lot. Wish they can bring back AA2 Bridge Crossing in the Map rotation. I bet we can fill the server no problem...
