- Post a comment A
new version of America's Army has been released, updating the free
multiplayer shooter developed and funded by the US Army to version 2.8. This
version finally adds the long awaited map editor for the creation of new third
party maps for the game along with tutorials. The 267MB v2.70->v.2.80 patch can
be downloaded from
3D Gamers,
FileFront,
Internode Games Network and VGPro, while a new full installer (~2.5GB size!) is on
3D Gamers,
FileFront, and
Internode Games Network.
The Mission Editor will enable America's Army players to modify existing
levels and/or create new levels using any of the existing art, sound, particle
effects and gameplay assets created by the Dev Team. All player-created levels
and missions will contain a unique signature in the map file to allow clear
identification when submitting a final version for review. Only maps submitted
to Mission Depot
will be reviewed and certified for approval. Once a player-created level or
mission has been approved it will be hosted on Official America's Army servers
for everyone to enjoy.
To help get you started we've included two special, "tutorial" maps, which
explain the basic UnrealEd Tools and define the America's Army mission creation
process. As these are the actual tools used by our developers, who've had years
of practice understanding their nuances, the overall ease-of-use will vary by
individual.
Ultimately, creating missions for America's Army using the Mission Editor will
require patience and probably a bit of trial and error - but with some practice
maybe you can be creating the next great Multiplayer Combat experiences in
America's Army!
