America's Army 3 Announced

"The United States Army announces America's Army 3 will be released later this year, offering a new installment in this first-person shooter that serves as a recruiting tool for the military. The game will be built on the Unreal Engine 3, and will feature a greater emphasis on role-playing elements than its predecessors, as evidenced by this portion: AA3 highlights different aspects of the Army from Army Values and the Warrior Ethos to Army career opportunities and lifestyles both on and off duty.

Through their in-game characters, AA3 players will be able to experience the way Soldiers train, live, and advance in the Army. AA3 players will also experience different types of technologies and equipment used by the Army's high-tech Soldier. Players are bound by Rules of Engagement (ROE) and gain experience as they navigate challenges in team-based, multiplayer, force on force operations. In the game, as in the Army, accomplishing missions requires teamwork and adherence to the seven Army Core Values.

In the game, a player's actions and demonstrated Army values will have consequences that are integral to success in gameplay and will affect a player's career progression."

They are currently accepting reservations to carry your AA2 nickname to the new game, and are also taking applications to participate in the upcoming beta test.

very nice....I hope they actually have vehicles in the upcoming release.

Magnum50

I hope not... I hope it stays a tactical shooter and not another Battlefield clone like everything else lately... JMO.

Your AA2 nickname doesn't actually carry over, you can reserve a user name but if someone has already got your AA2 user name reserved then you're outta luck, so if you are interested in AA3 and want to use your AA2 user name better reserve it fast.

EDIT:
Also another thread has been started here as well.

Ive got high hope for AA.. being playing it for 6 years now just about, i hope it lives up to the hype for 3.0 version..

I hope they add some more coop maps. I enjoyed clearing the bunker on interdiction it was both tactical and fun.

I think if your AA user name is tied to a .mil account it is automatically reserved for AA3. I have two accounts, one .mil and a gmail one and the .mil was already reserved for me. I had to reserve the gmail one

Just an FYI and YMMV

NightWarp

sure.. until that BMP arrived :P and the warping AI in the loadin docks.. or trying to invade that bmp at the back exit and run for your life :P

i prefer snake plain, or es2 border

socomseal93

I prefer snake plain too. But I enjoyed the close quarters combat in the interdiction bunker.

I loved AA, and had no idea that there even was a AA 2.. is it just version 2 or a whole new game? Anyways, I will be looking forward to this... and hold the vehicles IMO. AA is all about patience and observation and I think vehicles could compromise that dynamic.

It is my firm belief that, until we humans stop using human nature as an excuse for our actions, we will never realize our true nature.
