America's Army Comic Issue #12 Live!
America’s Army Issue #12 which launched today features art from “Overload” by map designer Drecks, the winner of the AA:PG User Made Map competition. Check out his map on the Steam Workshop.

Release Notes – 17 Dec 2014
We have a few fixes and minor changes available, check out the details below. The most notable is the fix for user maps building shaders every time, so this should make playing user made maps a much better experience!

Changes

  • Securing the bomb in C4 missions when dropped is disabled by default, can be enabled in server config
  • Added setting in Mission Editor to turn off lighting while editing to increase performance (Tools -> View Mode -> Unlit)
  • Added setting in Mission Editor to view wireframe mode (Tools -> View Mode -> Wireframe)


Bug Fixes

  • Fix for shaders being recompiled every time a custom map loads
  • Fix for picked up weapons not having ammo if you picked them up while reloading
  • Sighted accuracy now takes effect slightly before sighted blend is complete. Sight time now respects shorter blend when resighting before unsighting is complete
  • Weapon sway no longer starts before fully sighting up
  • Fixed several crashes in the launcher
  • Entire map name must be supplied in the “votechangemap” console command


Maps

  • Can no longer walk on a small ledge in Hospital Lobby
  • Fixed an issue with Hospital Statue not blocking bullets
  • Fixed an issue where a hay patch was blocking grenade explosions on Intercept
  • Fixed an issue where players could walk along unintended ledge on Harbor Assault

When Will The Beta End?
Wow! It is hard to believe it’s been more than a year already. A lot has changed between our initial beta version and the game we have following the release of RFI-4. Thanks to the community for the many, many hours playing and all the valuable feedback. We especially want to thank our dedicated Beta testing team who have donated hundreds of hours to the project.

Now we would like to take a moment to talk with you about the full release of the game.

Veteran's Day 2014
On Veterans Day, we pause to honor and remember the men and women who have served during war and peace, defending our country and the American way of life. As a nation, we must never forget the debt we owe them for securing the many freedoms we often take for granted.

UMM Competition - MCHammer Interview
Creator of Industry, MCHammer, was kind enough to respond to our interview questions. Read what he has to say about the Mission Editor and his experience building his Top Three map.

AAPG: Tell us a bit about yourself!

MCHammer: I'm a guy! (you said only a bit)!

AAPG: How long have you been playing America’s Army?

MCHammer: I started playing AA a year ago back in November. Before that I played the Call Of Duty games 1,UO, 2 & 4 (anything after CoD4 is just console trash).
