Talk:America's Army

What else should we put in the guide? - Phantom

I'd like to suggest that the authors of this book pick an overall book title, and somehow add it to the titles of all the pages, to fend off future disambiguation. How many books here might link to Contributors, Basic Tactics/Hints or Links of Interest? Look around at the other books, to see the various ways of labeling the pages in a book.

Good point Gentgeen, thanks :) - Phantom

Should we have a news section? Ive also put links back to the main page in some places. DesertFox

I think the recent changes part is good enough. However, what are your thoughts on asking people to translate the guide into different languages possibly? - Phantom

Could do. Ill do it if you want. --Desertfox 59 23:29, 26 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Does this support Java script? Also what about weapon specific guides?--Desertfox 59 23:43, 26 Apr 2004 (UTC)



The picture is nice, but it takes forever to load, and i have a fast cable connection. --24.91.222.42 17:33, 27 Apr 2004 (UTC)

You know, I think this guide belongs in Game Guides and Strategy. KirbyMeister 22:04, 4 May 2004 (UTC)

The thing with that, is that this game has a huge amount of detail, and is constantly being added to. There is a huge knowlage base for this guide to draw on as long as it stands alone. --Desertfox 59 02:12, 5 May 2004 (UTC)


 * Yeah... I guess we can just leave it for a while. BTW, should I atleast put a link from Game Guides and Strategy to this wikibook, so people looking in there could find these pages as well? KirbyMeister 19:09, 5 May 2004 (UTC)

That would be great, thanks. --Desertfox 59 23:32, 6 May 2004 (UTC)

A news section would be great in my opinion but we would really have to work hard to come up with our own news and not what is posted at other sites. -LDOG

I was thinking that maybe we could collect some of the major news posted on americasarmy.com and aaotracker.com. I go there everyday anyways. --DesertFox_59 {X} 15:21, 31 May 2004 (UTC)

Some jerk was messing around with the book...here is his IP 64.12.116.143 check his future posts for things we don't like. - LDOG

So was this IP address: 68.79.170.99. (At least four edits on the main page, two deleted, but still in History). I'd just like to point out that if things are done that are not in the spirit of this book (and Internet life in general) we can make a report to the Abuse of your attendant IP. (This we can find out through a site such as DNS-Stuff). The laws on computer crime are catching up all the time. EuropracBHIT 04:01, 10 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Is 2.1 breaking news anymore, well thats the question should it be removed from the front page?

--Free Bear 10:42, 20 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Some nublet deleted the whole page. IP: 70.24.154.120 (tracert says hes in canada)

Its really easy to revert to any previous version, so dont try it.

I have gotten this page added under fan sites on the americas army home page. So if you see Lady Amthyst, give her a big Hooah for being kind enough to add this page --DesertFox_59 {X} 03:31, 27 Oct 2004 (UTC)

wikifying the back to main page links
i just wikifyed the back to main page links in all the map pages(SF and non SF) using Back To Main Page so as to use internal links for intenal pages rather than the exteanal one that where there --Free_Bear 21:09, 28 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Modifying the Weapons Section
What are your reactions to pulling the weapons section out into one page that summarizes the weapons and what the opfor equivalents are? I'm thinking the information we'd like to have for each weapon might also include the code to use to get that weapon when practicing in single player as well as links to more detailed information about the weapon.

I'm not entirely sure how to handle tactics specific to each weapon. Possibly we can just include it in the description for each weapon.

We'd also need a section for general tactics for classes of weapons. Such tactics could include throwing any type of grenade, suggestions on when to use full-automatic fire versus semi-automatic fire.

sounds great if somone is up for doing it :)--Free_Bear 23:26, 29 Oct 2004 (UTC)

''We could keep the current pages and just add an overview page containing the extra info and linking each weapon name to its page --DesertFox_59 {X} 23:58, 29 Oct 2004 (UTC)''
