AA 3.3 SITREP: AI for the 4th of July!

[G3N3R4L]

AI Cooperative Mode - Three AI Maps have been added.

• Bridge AI - Easy to learn and navigate, the Bridge mission makes an excellent first map for the novice America’s Army soldier. Strategically placed NME AI will be guarding various points of the Bridge. The NME are hostile towards US forces. US Soldiers operating in this area are encouraged to find cover, move cautiously, and maintain situational awareness at all times. This map is structured as an introductory map for those learning the basics of America’s Army movement, shooting, and communication.
• Ranch AI - Don’t let this harmless farmhouse facade fool you! The quaint exterior hides an underground headquarters that is crawling with NME AI. Players must first breach a perimeter of patrolling NME AI to reach the central farm house. Once inside, search each room to locate and extract one of two possible objectives - the attache case or a charismatic scientist. Secure the objective and move to the green extraction point on the Blue Force Tracker to complete the mission.
• Airfield AI - Featuring battle hardened NME AI, Airfield showcases the largest America’s Army map ever made. The Airfield Coop mission features an abandoned airfield that is being used as a staging area by the NME. A central air control tower provides a bird’s eye view of the runways and surrounding area. The large open spaces of the Airfield provide limited cover. Soldiers must proceed to the objective carefully by using the natural terrain and plenty of smoke screens to hide movements. A heavy loadout is highly recommended in order to take advantage of the complete tool set that America’s Army has to offer.
• Automatic Coop to Competitive Co-op Mode Switch
  • Recent Intel suggests that a rogue group NME troops have broken away from conventional Czervenian forces. They are highly trained, well armed, and extremely hostile to both NME and US forces.
  • AI Maps start in Cooperative mode. When a specified number of players has been reached, the server splits the teams into a Competitive Co-op mode, which pits two human teams against each other with hostile AI in between! Only the most skilled America’s Army soldiers will be able to complete the Airfield mission while battling both human and AI controlled NME’s!
