Seeing as how Units is just another name for clans (as implied by the devs) I want to know if they also intend on implementing some sort of clan feature for the PS4?

Looking more closely at unit patches, how do y'all intend for one to go about making a unit patch? Will we draw one with a set of tools available, or do we upload our own unit patch?

I asked a question similar to this, yet never received an answer. ]]> Clean up shooting range scoreboard https://forum.americasarmy.com/discussion/7655/clean-up-shooting-range-scoreboard Thu, 16 Aug 2018 18:22:07 +0000 General Discussion Drawn 7655@/discussions Top average is around 3-3.5k points.]]> Ping Limit set on 1 of the CMH servers https://forum.americasarmy.com/discussion/7680/ping-limit-set-on-1-of-the-cmh-servers Sat, 01 Sep 2018 11:05:29 +0000 General Discussion Prediction 7680@/discussions

Ive been around a couple years now on AA:PG, AA2 was where I started as a kid about 12 years ago...however I developed most as a shooter once I landed on AAPG(Because my laptop could actually run it decent)
People who know me, know me as a f^#*ing sniper....some would say im pretty dece.

So as of a few days ago (Friday last week) I decided to actually set up my twitch and learn to stream.
I am entirely new and dont have much of a following, but I know ive ran into some awesome people along the way here on AA. I am looking for support! On the path to affiliate first, then will push for partner if I have the people around me.
I play PUBG a lot now, but am going to stream both AA and PUBG just about every night.
Find me live at: Twitch.tv/Neur0ticFPS

Right now i am streaming without webcam, learning how to work my scenes, transitions, music, etc...its a learning process! However, I am at 15/50 followers from the last couple days of reaching out.

You can hop on, listen to some chill beats and get in on some ever so slightly inappropriate team chatter ;)

Thanks for the love everyone!
Hit me on steam for some pubg duos/squads and AA for some fun!

Making block text easier to read and highlighting important parts so maybe these can be addressed:

Some of the glitches involved:

glitch to myself that allows you to strafe side to side at sprint speed while anchored/supported ... When you can strafe side to side at sprint speed it makes it all the more hilarious.
-
Spawning with no gun, or the ability to not move
-
The opposite, i could mpcheat_ghost cam move everywhere with no gun (under map in sky, through walls, all while still alive)
I could report entire enemy team and follow them around individually if i wanted
-

I have seen this last glitch that gives the mpcheat_ghost ability in action. The player was spawned in with no gun and able to move around, this was not done on purpose.

Additionally, games need to do something unique to succeed. The last thing any game wants to be labelled is generic. There's only so much you can do in a round based game to not be labelled a CS, CoD, or Siege clone. There aren't a ton of ideas out there that can set you apart. Yes, I know CoD is mainly a respawn game, but take the round based modes of CoD and how are you different?

That's the main thing the AA dev team needs to ask, how can we make ourselves unique? A respawn mode with Attack/Defend and Attack/Attack modes can certainly allow the dev team to get creative in this regard.

Old maps can still be included, but at a much larger scale. Imagine a massive version of pipeline where the team can do the thing with the valves, but also go for CP. Upon completing the objective to win the round, the attacking team is awarded new reinforcements or maybe the defense team loses reinforcements. Maybe a version of urban assault that's double the size. You could also have sequential rounds where the attack team has to push various points (or complete objectives) to move to the next section (similar to Team Fortress). Capture the flag mode, VIP, all of those things can still exist. You either push to a new area or one team gains/loses reinforcements. A team escorting wounded soldiers out of a combat area, among other things, get creative, use real life combat scenarios as a guide.

Teams and/or players can even be rewarded as the game progresses.
Players can gain new attributes as they perform their roles in a game. Better aim, faster reloading, quicker healing, quieter footsteps, among other things.
Teams can maybe gain or just be given the ability to call an air strike, helicopter support, or ground vehicle support. Events that are extremely limited per team (maybe 1 per game) and can be executed in order to change the tide of the battle.

Squads can have players with various roles, just like now. Riflemen, medics, among other things.
Medics can treat wounded players (stall bleeding, treat wounds to erase negative effects, maybe very slightly restore life) while also treating downed players, not in order to bring them back into the fight, but instead to stabilize their injuries and evac them. Doing so can maybe give a team extra reinforcements, instant spawn waves, or some other reward.
You can have guys who control robotics which can maybe disarm bombs, attack enemies, maybe even remotely take objectives.
Other guys who build fortifications and other defensive or offensive structures.

The list goes on. The team can get creative and do all sorts of stuff. Include upcoming technologies and various other cool army gadgets. Sure, it may sound like a battlefield without the vehicles or CoD-type game, but the Army can try to make it as unique as possible.

Another idea would be for a create your own soldier type mode where you guide your guy through training and such. Maybe even customize their look and attributes. Some people may make a guy who moves more quickly, another who has more steady aim, another who shoots better on the move, completes actions more quickly, is more agile, gets less shaken up by explosives and gun fire around them, among other things. Every soldier would be a little different from the other.

Also, if you want to diversify weaponry, you can include weapons from our Allies. Just another thought.

Anyway, if there's ever an AA5, it needs to do something unique. When you really sit down and look at AAPG and remove all of the Army branding, it's hard not to call it a generic shooter. Sure, it does some things well, but it also doesn't really do much to stand out and be unique. It's part of why I eventually see a game like PUBG losing favor once other BR games come out. Nothing unique about it, generic as can be.]]> A Few Questions About How ACI Works https://forum.americasarmy.com/discussion/7613/a-few-questions-about-how-aci-works Thu, 26 Jul 2018 20:09:17 +0000 General Discussion Akaiyuki 7613@/discussions
Thanks in advance]]> Official EU server serious lag https://forum.americasarmy.com/discussion/7550/official-eu-server-serious-lag Sun, 17 Jun 2018 16:19:13 +0000 General Discussion blint63 7550@/discussions
I have been playing from time to time on EU official servers lately, and the game experience is very bad in overall. The latency is overall good (30-50 ping for me), but the server have up to 2-3 seconds of "freeze" in about every round, regardless how many players are on it.

(last time I played CDG13 server, but iirc, the other are affected as well.)

Especially that most new players prefer to play official servers, please consider fixing this issue, as this is quite deterrent for any newcomer.

Greetings,
