Heads
up, Soldiers! This just in from higher HQ:
the long-awaited update to AA:O (v2.0) is
expected to debut tomorrow. This new version,
codename "AA:SF (SFAS)", is bursting
at the seams with new features.
This version
introduces a new character class: Special
Forces (MOS 18-series). This MOS isn't for
the faint at heart, gang. To even be considered
for qualification, you need to have a minimum
honor of 15 and have successfully completed
all Basic Training and Airborne School missions.
Next, you'll need to complete the 2 SF training
missions: Aircraft, Vehicle, and Weapon
Identification (SF AVWID) and Escape and
Evasion (SF E&E). Then, and only then,
will you qualify to participate as a Special
Forces Soldier in our 4 new multiplayer
maps: SF Combat Search and Rescue, SF Recon,
SF Hospital, and Pipeline SF.
But there's
much more in this new release, to include
the following:
- New weapons (including the SOPMOD M4 carbine,
with almost a dozen interchangeable, customizable
components)
- New OPFOR weapons (the AKS-74U; the OPFOR
equivalent to the M4 mod)
- New indigenous weapons (including the
RPG-7 Rocket Propelled Grenade)
- 3D ironsights
- In-game IRC chat client
- Andromeda: SCI's new comprehensive server
browser/authentication system/statistics
reporting server system
Again, be
advised: tomorrow's release is for the windows
client software version of AA:SF (SFAS)
(v2.0) only. Higher HQ indicates that we
can expect the Mac and Linux versions at
a later date. |

For all of you facing problems with the new acount

**ATTENTION**
As
most of you know, we have migrated to a
new Authentication system. We apologize
for the temporary disruption in services.
This interruption was, unfortunately, a
necessary by-product of upgrading our authentication
service. Our thanks in advance for your
understanding and patience.
Once
services are restored, many of you will
get an error when you attempt to login ("Error:
Unknown"). This error message is expected.
Your account has probably expired. The fix?
A one-time re-authentication. And here's
how you do it:
1.
Goto login.americasarmy.com.
2. Select the appropriate link (NOTE: for
most , you will need to select "Expired
account".)
3. On the next page, type in your username
& email address that you used to register
your account. Press "OK". You
will receive a temporary password via email.
Use this temporary password, return to login.americasarmy.com
and choose the "Change Password"
link.
4. That's it! Change your password -- and
go play! |

AA Website Up

This afternoon the official America's
Army revised website went online. The forums are
down at the moment and the website is still being
uploaded, so portions of the site are not accessible.
Abraxas mentioned in IRC today:
Attention:
The new web site is up, but it is still being
adjusted and the final touches put on it. 2.0
itself is still not available and will not be
released today. We expect it to be ready very
soon though.

New
Honor Table
Posted: 30
October 2003 by

Some changes
to the Honor System in Americas Army 2.0!
...Everyone
gets affected by this new honor table the exact
same.
For
instance in the old honor table 100 honor was
915,000 experience - now it takes 1,850,000 experience.
The higher your honor is, the more drastic this
change will be for you. If you were 70, you will
go to 68 - if you were 60 you will go to 59. But
please remember you still have the same amount
of experience, it will just take longer to level
up at higher honor levels. We just spread out
the higher honor levels apart from each other
more...
