Although we're not abandoning the 2.x game quite yet, we have plans for ongoing maintenance of the game. But, it's fair to say that the bulk of our effort has been moved over to the next generation of America's Army.

I know it is a while before we will see any sitrpes on this so I was just wondering about the system requirements for 3.0
Will The [DEV]'s be using the shader version 3.0 forcing those of us who don't have a brand new card to get a new graphics cards so we can play or will they stick with the shader version 2.0?

Im not sure if the Devs want to alienate a lot of people with their release of 3.0 but you never know.

I'm hoping they don't. If they are planing to go with the newest shader version I hope they can make it backward compatible with the 2.0 version.

It is too early to tell. The developers will give more specifics as they get closer to releasing 3.0. That is still a ways off, don't get too worked up.

I just want to know if I should save my money for an upgrade in advance.

Don't worry, AA won't make the same mistake UBI did and force people to use Shader 3.0 too early for no reason. Even if AA 3.0 does require SM3, it will be at least a year from now, so video cards with SM3 then will be the norm.

lol I'd say....2.8 is not even out yet and peeps are getting worried about 3.0

if you start saving a few bucks each month you'll afford a very decent sm3.0 card by the time AA3.0 is out

We always want what we can't have. Plus, we're nearing Christmas. The greed starts to set in something awful this time of year.

True...I'd like to know what the requirements for 3.0 are too, but theres no point in asking as it isnt finished yet the devs may not even know themselves

Bye the time it 3.0 goes public you'll need at least GeForce 9600 GT, DualCore 6000+ CPU, and min 2 GB of RAM (4 recommended)... Relese date: "once up on a time in 2008.th)

Hope it helped...

the number 9600 is already taken (radeon 9600-series)

I'd like to point out that *no one* knows what the system requirements will be for version 3.0 of America's Army.

It is WAYYYYYY to early to even have an educated guess as to what the final system requirements will be. If you want to get some idea though, look for news on the new Unreal engine and it's requirements.
