This is the first major new version of the title since the original was released way back in 2002. The Unreal Engine 3 based game is scheduled for release later this year.

AA!

Aww... they don't have a mac version

I'm feeling nostalgic about AA. It was my very first online FPS way back in my college days when I had nothing better to do than shoot and kill. Then BF2 and BF2142 happened :P

I may have to take a serious look at AA now. It may be worth playing again when the new version is released. I haven't played AA in probably 3 or 4 years. Some of those screenies I looked at look very impressive too.

Same... it's been a couple years but it looks impressive so far. Of course... no way in hell I'd get this name in-game. :P I did sign up for the beta so hopefully they shoot a message my way.

That looks really good. So many good games, so little time...

Just letting you know, you can register your user name now for AA3. Your original name does not carry over from AA2 unless you get it registered and reserved(msdz, of course is my user name). I already did this. Of course on the AA3 site you can see the reserve name.

I didn't even know there was a part 2 of this game? Thought they just kept updating original?

Yeah I went to re-register some of my names and it didn't look too promising. So I had to alter it a bit and finally got one through. Looks like people are taking advantage of the early registration so far.

It was considered version 2.0 at one of the major updates.

I played AA way back and it was great fun, I have high hopes for another version!

AA was my first multi-player game

They've been talking about this new game engine for years and now it's gonna happen
