I always dug the idea of AA, and I got through basic training once.
The gameplay is a bit slower than fantasy warfare ganes, the maps generally larger and the weaponry... seems endless Surprised

A bit short on 'fun' and heavy on teamwork, it didn't quite float my boat.

I found another FPS with similarly well-modelled weapons and vehicles which is difficult to master and takes place in a simpler era: Red Orchestra Ostfront on Steam, cheap and it'll run on your old record player Wink

Back to AA if there are a few of us I'd download it again for a laugh.

I had it on my old computer did all the training stuff but only played it a few times with the other clan members who had it.

Probably will download it again though, was a bit more polished than battlefield I thought.

the training over the versions has actually been made easier, though the annoying special forces training is still annoying.

I used to play version 2.5
Couldn't be bothered to download all over again and was only able to find patches from 2.6 -> 2.7, never from 2.5->2.6, so I removed if from my PC. It is indeed quite a bit slower than most FPS's, but with a fun team which actually coÃƒÂ¶perates it's hell of a lot fun. That bridge map was just awesome Cool

y'know medi, that's a bugbear with all ancient games - getting the right versions patches and updates... everyone else is hugely experinced so you're an ubern00b lol...
can i mention Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory ? It's a free download I have fallen out of contact with, anyone any knowledge?

I looked at AA when it first came out. After completing the training i lost interest. Not entirely sure as to why.

Mostly i enjoy CS:Source, its fast pace and quick rounds make for a rapid piece of fun, though i'm guessing a few here will flame me for still playing it but hey ho.

when i started my first online AA game there was one man who could hit you with a rocket from the other side of the map and another guy who repeatadely sneaked up on me and stamped me to death... I gave up very quickly.
