Ahh! the server is too busy!

EDIT: Yay! It's working now!

America's Army has always been a free game (except in the US, you pay for it with your taxes). So there's no need to rush and get it.

It's another free game we could maybe try for a rsbandb non-rs event if enough people are interested.

Actually read part of the EULA and it wants to install the virus commonly known as PunkBuster. This is where I say, no thanks.

From Wikipedia:

Quote:

PunkBuster is a computer program that detects software used for cheating in online games. It does this by scanning the memory contents of the local machine. A computer identified as using cheats may be banned from connecting to protected servers. Ostensibly, this action isolates cheaters and prevents them from disrupting legitimate games. PunkBuster is developed and published by Even Balance, Inc.

So it scans your memory for cheating softwares, but that doesn't make it a virus.

Tax? o.0 How did they manage to pull that one off? I'd not be happy about my taxes going towards a video game.

Depends if it logs the info or whatever surely. If it's keeping tabs on what I'm doing all the time and logging it i'd not want it on there.

It's developed by the US army, so they probably pay for it from the defense budget.

If it's the US defense budget I'm cool with that but if the Canadian government is giving our money to some game I'll be ***** off.

heh just tried it....lags like a son of a %$&^%!

oh and everything is buggie...couple of weeks until it is good to play

Sam · **Posted:** June 18th, 2009, 1:14 pm

I don't see how it's that buggy so far. It's just that the server has a ****-ton of work on it's hands right now so it won't up date the training. I've never had a bit of lag though.
