If they're going to introduce vehicles then they're going to have to introduce bigger maps... which would be a really good thing.

Have the rounds always been 2 to 4 minutes long? If so they'll have to do something about that too.

Woo hoo... we got our smilies back! :w00t1:

Rounds are as long as you want them tbh, personally I much prefered the longer rounds, stopped all the rushing and allowed tactics.

Plenty of bigger maps , River basin,Mountain pass , Mountain pass Se , Radio tower and Mountain ambush to name a few as for round length , its a server side setting but most of the bigger maps are seven to ten minutes per round and seven rounds per match but again match rounds is a server setting and as for vehicles I will wait and see but the new SAI screen looks like a major dumbing down of the game imo and totally removes any pretensions the game has to realism but again we will have to see.

Ok , still nothing on the AASF site though people are claiming to be getting 2.7 from armytimes.com ,The site claims to have the game and insists that it,s released worldwide tomorrow but i cant for the life of me see a link on the page

Ok theres a thread on AASF <a href="http://forum.americasarmy.com/viewtopic.php?t=229650" target="_blank">Forum</a> listing Torrents , The bad news is there is no patch, its a full download only and you are looking at 2.49gb

Armytimes.com says technical difficulties check back at 3:30 , doesnt say what timezone though .

By the looks of things this is another totally bolloxed up release as there is still no official announcement on the AASF site

Its back up on <a href="http://www.armytimes.com/content/static ... eguide.htm" target="_blank">ArmyTimes.com</a> now an 11 part batch file rather than one mega download .

The link isn't actually to any legit webby though is it? It's just a torrent from somewhere.

Not managed to play it yet but first impressions of the interface are good , You now get player stats which should start many an argument

Will report back when I,ve actually managed to play it
