I know no-one here likes it, but I do. So this is great news IMO

The more; the merrier.

That was funny as chuff.

It's a definite problem in AA: these fuckers spend so much time playing clan matches on the maps that when when a couple of people come in and "don't play the map like they should" everyone bleats about hackers.
Still, AA3 is completely new game (right down to everyone having to do the training,
again). I'm really hoping for great things™

I really, really, really, really, really, really, really hope they removed the nigh impossible E&E bit.

AA3 is a vanilla game. Everyone will start as a grunt, and remain as such until they release the SF patch in the future. It's a completely level playing field for everyone. The only training you will need/be able to complete is the basic, medic, and possibly the parachute and sniper training.
This is all conjecture though, pretty much fuck-all has been confirmed yet.

I hope that's the case.
Or at least if they do do the SF bit on release (I'd be shocked if they didn't) they program the AI a little better.

It's almost certain SF won't be there on release (it was only an add-on last time).

But it'd be really odd to not have it there.
Like removing weapon upgrades from bf2 when they made 2142.
Or the galil and famas from CS:S, because they were only put in in 1.6.
I'm not saying it's impossible, but it's development they've already done, and new game or not, I'd expect them to leave off from the current game, not the previous version.

Well, the fridge door was terrible, but it gave me loads of practice with grenades

Does that say free?!
I've done quite a few missions in the training and managed expert on most of them. I got a rifle expert marksman pin despite apparently missing every single kneeling and standing targets, which I didn't because I shot them all.
I broke the beta with the medical exam too. Poked it too hard with liberal use of space bar skip and it sharted when I went from start to end of exercise in about thirty seconds.
Looks like it could be a fun way of warming up for the ultra real of opflash 2 or Arma2.

It does, the consoletards subsidise the AA games for us

I wasn't too bothered about this before, but if it's free, AA3 GET! Not played it before, but willing to give it a go. I need more FPSs in my life.

Free is my favourite kind of cheap.
AA GET!

It's unlocked!
The account servers are getting hammered apparently, because it's not storing any progress.

Yup, it's deeply fucked at the moment, also seems to be more buggy than the beta was
