Get the America's Army v1.5->v1.6 Patch off Worthplaying (88mb)

USA Link 1 <--> USA Link 2 <--> European Link

This Version 1.6 update expands the importance of rules of engagement and teamwork within America's Army due to its introduction of non-combatants in the new "Radio Tower" non-combatant rescue mission. New functionality such as the addition of projectile penetration and ricochets add increased realism to game scenarios. Version 1.6 also marks the transition of America's Army to the production version of Unreal's version 2110 engine. Having been the first game to launch on the beta of this next generation Unreal engine, America's Army is now positioned to deliver Soldiers and its expanding array of occupations, settings and missions in the coming months. The first occupations set for deployment in America's Army: Soldiers includes Special Forces, Combat Medics, Engineers, and Scouts - RSTA/UAV. America's Army: Operations will also see new missions where player capabilities gained in Soldiers combine with new armaments and combat systems in the defense of freedom.

What's New:

Updated Game Engine.

The updated version of the game engine provides improved networking and audio performance and enhanced server and client stability. The production version of the Unreal engine will allow America's Army to deliver an expanding array of functionality, combat systems, armaments and of course, expanded opportunities to explore occupations and individual development in America's Army: Soldiers.

"Radio Tower" Non-Combatant Rescue Mission "Radio Tower" is a daytime mission in which assaulting elite Army Rangers parachute into harsh desert terrain, infiltrate a catacomb of underground tunnels, rescue international aid workers and secure a large radio tower from opposing forces. Players on the defense serve as elite Army Rangers charged with defending a group of aid workers and a large radio tower from attack by opposing forces.

Projectile Penetration

By implementing projectile penetration, America's Army Version 1.6 will provide players with expanded realism across all simulated combat levels. Surfaces such as cloth, glass and wood will now allow projectile penetration with projectile damage and trajectory affected by the type of surface penetrated. With this upgrade the difference between cover and concealment will be apparent!

Projective Ricochets

In addition to projectile penetration, America's Army: Operations now incorporates ricochets as well. With this feature, firing your weapon at an object with an incident angle of less than 45 degrees can result in ricochets. The damage and trajectory resulting from ricocheting projectiles will vary with a projectile's incident angle and the type of material it hits.
