60350 2002-07-06 23:10:00 Hi, I recently seen this cool new game "America's Army" released and it's totally free (made by US Army). The graphics and game looks stunning and I wanted to download it only it was 200mb big and I have a 56k modem. So I was wondering if the people at PC World are going to put this game on your next issue of PC world Mag CD? Joey3434324 (900)
60351 2002-07-06 23:29:00 To suggest an file please e-mail paul_stowers@idg.co.nz Sam H (525)
60352 2002-07-07 02:27:00 Yeah, I reckon.

I spent 14 hours downloading on a dialup. It was finished today when I got up.Yipee.

Double click it to instal: Uh oh. Corrupt setup file. Please download again. Aaaarrrggggghhhhhhhh. :_|

Please please pretty please put it on the August CD. :) :)

Not really. Its just annoying. You get to expect that when doing big downloads with dialup.

Oh well. Try again tonight.

60355 2002-07-08 06:12:00 We'll see what we can do...but making room for 200MB's might be difficult.

*fingers crossed*

60356 2002-07-08 06:13:00 Oh...and I should say....the August CD has already gone to press so we'll investigate for the September CD. Scott Bartley (836)
60357 2002-07-08 22:41:00 Cool, I hope you guys will be able to put it on the Sep. issue, I will be waiting tgo buy that issue :) Joey3434324 (900)
60358 2002-07-09 10:48:00 good idea.

its a nice looking game (and pretty fast download, even on a dial-up :-)).

septembers probly the best time for it, as at the mo' the servers are clogged and there's only a few multiplayer maps. hopefully someone will have made an osama mod for it as well (if he isn't already in it).


oh yeah, if you want it to look like all the training missions are complete, open the text file with you players' name in the %game-install-dir%\system\save and set the text to:

511,15,1,3,7,3,3,3,3,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0 ,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,

note that this has no real effect on the actual game and probably isn't a cheat, my brother found it out when he was analysing the savegame data as various missions were completed.

enjoy,

Looking forward to having a play!

BTW the program is more like 215MB and now has a patch as well.
