[quote:e6f33]The U.S. Army sends along word that the Airborne and Ranger missions for America's Army will be released this week.

Airborne training provides players entry to the U.S. Army’s elite Airborne
School at Fort Benning, Georgia. There, players will experience practice drops from the school’s monstrous 250 foot Free-Fall Tower and learn how to execute a proper Parachute Landing Fall (PLF). With the exception of the jet blast as you exit the aircraft and the opening shock of your parachute, a drop from this tower is the next best thing to jumping with one the Army’s elite parachute units. While descending at virtually the same rate as an actual jump, the player must control his parachute and execute a correct PLF, just as he’ll have to do when he makes his qualifying jump.[/quote:e6f33]

Quoted from EvilAvatar.com. Cant wait for this update, "AA:O" kicks a whole lot of ass in the fun and realism department.

If you havent downloaded it yet, DO SO !!!!

No, sadly the engine they used is just slightly older than the current Unreal build that has Karma Tech in it's code. So no cool floppy death animations like Raven Shield

Still it's a great game and well worth the download

I dont know when they are going to do the mail out thing, thats something that I have no idea about so I couldnt really comment on it. There might be something at the Official site or in the forums.

Roll in the game ?? Explain a bit further. The grenades have a large kill radius which is more than likely quite realistic, so I have no worries with it. The only problem I have with the grenades is that the fragmentation looks a little weak, but other than that, everything looks sweet.

Ahh yeah, ofcourse. Yep you certainly can roll and on more than snow

It depends on how you have your characters speed set. If it's on fast then he will roll, if it's on slow, then he will only move slowly, crawling sideways using his arms and legs.
