A new update for America's Army 3 has gone live, one that incorporates substantial new functionality into the Account Management Website and the Deploy Client.
The update includes leader boards, combat maps that show where people tend to get shot, interactive white-boards for mission planning, and access to detailed stats on other players. There’s also a whole new Deploy Server Browser that allows you to sift through the servers available to you and to view the stats of who’s playing -- no more flying blind.

Even though part of the dev team for America's Army 3 were let go soon after the game's launch, the rest have been hard at work keeping the free FPS well-maintained with patch after patch. There's another one here for you this morning, with a changelog as long as your (fairly short) arm - and it's all ready for you to download via Steam.
While I've got your attention - did you know that Games On Net has an Honor server for America's Army 3? You've been asking for one for ages, and we've finally waded through the red tape and can deliver the goods. Next time you're looking for somewhere to play a bit of army sim, check your server browser for Internode AA3 #1, and jump right in!

It isn't every morning that you wake up to a patch of over 1GB for a free game. So, that makes today a little bit special, with a massive patch for America's Army arriving. The patch weighs in at just over 1GB, and should you have installed the Steam version of the game, should automatically be downloaded by your Steam client.
While the change list does little to suggest why the patch is so large, it is likely that the inclusion of a "new TS3 SDK" has something to do with the large file size. Other fixes and additions to the game include an improved console, support for clans, and the ability to see what version of the game you are currently running.
In addition, a number of minor fixes are made, which should make the game experience more enjoyable for all. Your Steam client should automatically pull down the update, or will be forced to do so if you restart Steam.

If you want to get amongst it, you know the drill! Fire up your Steam client and let the magic of the internets take over.

Even with all the turmoil that surrounding the release of America's Army 3, it hasn't stopped an update for the game being released, which addresses a number of issues with the game's back end, focusing on a myriad of server issues.
Among the key fixes are the elimination of several freezes between training missions, and less communication between the player and the authentication server, which eliminates lag. Along with these fixes, player statistics have been tweaked, allowing more accurate stat tracking, that also fixes some of the Steam achievements!
Your Steam client should automatically download and apply the update. If it doesn't, you'll need to restart the client, or force an update by trying to start the game.

Most people would probably think that launching the latest version of your game would be a reason to celebrate - but the Californian studio who worked on America's Army 3 are doing just the opposite.
Just one day after the game's release, the US Army has apparently chosen to close down the primary development studio in Emeryville, with all further development to take place in Redstone, Alabama.

For many people, Facebook is just something that's more interesting than work. You can play games, post random rubbish to people, answer a million quizzes (What spoon am I?), and - apparently - you can get the latest breaking games news, all in one handy dandy location.
At least, that's what the US Armed Forces wants you to do. The part of the military who focus on game development decided that, rather than going with a conventional method of announcing the release date for America's Army 3, they'd post it on Facebook, and let other people spread the word for them.
