The latest version of America's Army has been released, taking this free FPS to version 2.7 and almost tripling the file size in the process - to a staggering 2.7 gig!

More on this soon, but bear in mind that if you want to download this file, Internet Explorer just doesn't have the power - you'll need to use a download manager that has Large File support, or just upgrade to Firefox. This is officially the largest gaming file we've ever hosted!

Download this behemoth locally from AusGamers. We've also got a torrent link up.

Ah FFS! 2.7GB :|

how crap. wish they could make it a little smaller

some of the s*** they have in this sounds pretty cool and i have been wanting to give it a go for some time. are there lots of ppl on aussie servers? do you guys recommend this? or is everyone 4star generals by now and little pte.strex will be constantly shat on...

are there lots of ppl on aussie servers?

Yeh, it's pretty popular. At 7am we had a full server of the OLD version, which really surprised me.

There's a lot of veterans playing it and the style is a little different to many other FPS games - lots more focus on realism (from what I can tell). Once you adjust I'm sure you'd go back to pwning newbs.

the downloads page says 1400 odd downloads... surely that can't be right for a 2.7gb file that was only posted an hour or so ago?

1400 people have started the download - most of 'em certainly are nowhere near finished

will be constantly shat on.

some people pay good money for that, consider yourself lucky.

A mate of mine and I still play this almost nightly.
Its a great game, if you play on local servers with no hax being used.

Bugga, been downloading from GA since about 5:15pm. I'm still only getting 120KB/sec and I now have 1.9gig of it. I guess thats what tomorrow is for :)

Yes, you will get shat on non stop at the start. It usually takes some getting used to with aiming and shooting. The game has been designed as a recruitment and training tool by the US army, so it is based around being as realistic as possible. The player base is a quite mature as well which is excellent. The training has mostly kept retards and cheats out I guess.

what sort of connection do you have ET, I yoinked it from GA at 1800kb/s from cable

trog got me to test it again just now, only getting 1200kb/s now

I have BP cable Jim. It stayed between 100KB/sec and 110KB/sec the entire bloody download. Oh well, I have it now. It finished about midnight last night.

ET, if that happens again can you PM me the exact link you're downloading from?

No probs.

BTW, the new map "Steamroller" is fantastic. Take a look. I'll grab some screenies next time I'm in and post them up.

110kb/s doh

You think youd have learned to use a download manager after the first failure.
