Does anyone that owns a Palm powered PDA play America's Army by any chance? America's Army is developed by the United States Army as a recruiting tool, but is turning into a popular online game. It's a free First Person Shooter (750 MB - Broadband suggested, if you've got a slow connection, simply pick up a copy at your local Recruiters Station the latest version is 2.2.1) available for download at www.americasarmy.com.

X-Fire - r1c0ch3t

I'm DLing it now.

Anything like "Wolfenstien Enemy Territory"?

I guess I'll find out.

It's pretty good, but you'll need to go through basic training to play it. :D

But I like the gun firing, it feels fairly good like Counter Strike. You won't need to increase your rank like Enemy Teritory for better accuracy.

RtCW: ET?!?!?!?! That game sux0rs!!! People running around at 500MPH and you have to download a bunch of crap to play in a single server and and half the servers require "low pings" (I have DSL and still can't get in) which requires some kind of fiber optic internet connection or a T3 line.

Sounds like you should ask for your money back. ;)

America's Army seems interesting. I haven't done much with it other than the practice range so far.
(Hard to make time for it between ET and Doom3!)

Refund.

I only play FPS games at LAN parties. No latency and everybody is on the same page. But I do play WC3 mods on Battle.net every once and a while.

Yeah, I should even though the game is free... They need to pay me back for wasting my time. I'll be more than happy to "help" ;) you with the training if you willing to play.

I wish I could do that, but the guys I play ET with are spread all over North America.
I did LAN parties back in the DOOM II and Descent days, except back then it was a 1 on 1 "Null-Modem" party!

Fun stuff if you were the lucky guy with the 486/66 and the hot 2MB Diamind video card! ;) (I wasn't. I had the 286/16Mhz back home. :( )

I haven't done it for about a year now, but it's a good way to spend time with friends. :) My friend is buying a house, so supposedly once that is setup will get together.

286 :eek: Crap when Doom 2 and Descent were released, I had a P90@100Mhz, a 4 meg Diamond(It was the top dog version, the one above the Viper.) and 40 megs of RAM!!! :o *Sorry*

We did the null modem thing and my friend also had an ethernet network setup, so we played the above games and others likee Rise of Triad every other day. I didn't have a life.

I had a 486 DX266 when Strike Commander and Comanche were released. My favorite PC was my AMD 386DX 40 and now my current XP2500@3200. :)

I worked for Interplay in 95 when Descent was released.
