Posted January 12, 200520 yr Uncle Sam's game America's Army, which is a FPS and made by the Army as a proganda recruiting tool (strange leave out the shit job and low pay part). Well, this game like all online FPS games has over time had some modifcations or cheats made for the game. Well a developer for the game warned cheaters in a forum post that if you tinker with the game's EULA, you're "misusing Army property, and worse, you're misusing US Army computer programs and equipment," prosecutable as a cybercrime. "The Army is angry, and we’re coming for you," the developer claims. Funny stuff. I really don't know much about this game, as I played it once and thought it was crap, but I'd assume they allow modifcations to the game like most FPS games and even encourage it. If this is the case then I again challenge them to legally prove the difference between a legal modifcation to the game and what they consider a illegal modifcation to the game. I still say there is no difference between a cheat and a mod, both make changes to the game. Then there is the issue that the game servers are run by private owners who are ultimatley in charge of what they allow and not allow on the server (basically the rules). I personally think we have another raged developer who spoke before thinking with a meaningless threat.
January 12, 200520 yr I call this kind of stuff "the official bullshit". The funny part is that they claim, that hacks make the army angry :rolleyes: .
January 12, 200520 yr As much as they might threaten and warn people, theres no way they can really arrest or prosicute somone for playing the game a little diffrently then it was ment to be played. The only way they can prosocute somone is if they clearly state in the license and agrement terms that they have the legal power to do so. To me this is just some angry developer whos pissed off people are messing with his game.
January 13, 200520 yr Heh, if they do arrest people for cheating, I guess they are better ragers than myg0t and Valve combined. Imagine the geeks playing at home one day then their homes being raided by SWAT teams.
January 13, 200520 yr Oooo maybe they can do something like VAC, Ban your account and then you can make a new one for free :sleep2:
January 13, 200520 yr they should pay people to play their stupid game, there are way better army sims that are easier to rage, such as ghost recon and rainbow six and neither will threaten to rape you up the ass if you piss people off. I hope someone makes a mod or a game that shows the army's soliders torturing Iraqi detainees, I wonder how the army will react.
January 13, 200520 yr like to see how they could prosecute players that arnt in the good ol US Of A like me :sly:
January 13, 200520 yr MasterVampire']like to see how they could prosecute players that arnt in the good ol US Of A like me :sly: yeah. i would also like to see them coming all the way to europe and knocking at my door. im sure they would break some sort of law or agreement by doing that. im thinking about cheating on AA only to tell them that they cant do shit about it. or just email them: "Hi, my name is pWnZj00. today i played your stupid game and i cheated. yes, you read correctly, i hacked the shit out of it and ignored your fucking eula. now i have a question for you: how come i may not teamkill in AA, while the real us army does it all the time? fuck you and your game. yours sincerly pWnZj00 ps: my IP is XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX and i live in XXX, Germany - Come over for a nice pint of beer"
January 13, 200520 yr "Hi, my name is pWnZj00. today i played your stupid game and i cheated. yes, you read correctly, i hacked the shit out of it and ignored your fucking eula. now i have a question for you: how come i may not teamkill in AA, while the real us army does it all the time? winner!
January 13, 200520 yr 0ne']the army is so gay' date=' fucking retarted nazis, go eat a dick you fags.[/quote'] 0ne, isn't your brother in the army? I can see why you tell them to eat dick, homersexualism must run in the family T_T
January 13, 200520 yr One thing there Oldmanpeterson that the army Created a game to run off a server i believe "THEY" created or if it runs of quake they have permission and in the mods have permission from the people who created the games. such as CS and CS:S the creators have permission from the people who created HL to change the game as long as they sign a legal contract. so if they army created the Server and everything the game runs on they are allowed to persicute hackers if they wish to do so and it is abusing military equipment.
January 13, 200520 yr shouldnt the army be concerned with other things like the war in iraw and not pimply faced kids making/using cheats for a piece of shit game.
January 13, 200520 yr oww no not the american army, lol. How can they possiblely get 2 england where i am? Land on the beaches? lol. ~Ecool 2003

It's a reasonably nice game, and very realistic.. but that doesnt make it fun. Cuz truth is, reality is boring.
January 13, 200520 yr shouldnt the army be concerned with other things like the war in iraw and not pimply faced kids making/using cheats for a piece of shit game. GOT IT RIGHT!!
January 13, 200520 yr I'v played it in the past. The game is a sub par FPS thats really more of a recruitment tool than a game. Ironically you always play as the US military if you are defending you see the attacking enemy as terrorist. While they are the ones who see you as the terrorists and them as the US army. But hey that would explain why we have so much friendly fire deaths over in the middle east... maybe our military is that retarded. The reasons why they don't wish for people to make mods or cheat is simply because it would lose the whole recruitment tool that the army paid millons for. You can't brainwash people to join the army in a StarWars mod. Plus cheaters will only rage other players and distract them from the subliminal messages (yes there are some in the game) Thats why they throw those little hissy fits. Ironically they also moniter how you play and your behavior. Who in the right mind would want to join the army today anyways? If anyone reading this is considering joining the military go into the airforce. You won't be cannon fodder and you get better benefits and able to retire eariler. If you join the army you will be treated like dirt and will just be sent to die in Iraq.
January 14, 200520 yr 1. they caught me cheating once...deleted my 40 honour account (like i cared about score) and banned me by ip (the dumb fucks)....after an ip change i was on within minutes with a diff account.. 2. i dont ever remember sighning a EULA or anything saying i wont mod the game...so they can kiss my ass.. games shit anyhow..was fun for a while but i hate yankee propaganda...and i wanna play as a fucking terrorist sometime.
January 14, 200520 yr I guess the army is just pissed of that the game isnt making young men and women of America want to join the army.
January 14, 200520 yr hmm, if u wana play as a terrorist play css or 1.6 ... and get pwned. ~Ecool 2003

January 15, 200520 yr I only played it once, couldnt be bothered with the training so i shot the instructer, then went to some prison cell and didnt know what it to do lol
January 15, 200520 yr hmm, if u wana play as a terrorist play css or 1.6 ... and get pwned. ~Ecool 2003 ...i was branching out the rage to other games..looks like its working. instead of raging players the whole fucking US army is raged over it...id say thats a point in our favour. oh and going to prison for shooting the instructor...i did that...and sent them an email complaining that i thought he was canadian...Americans are great at shooting canadians, and i thought it was part of the training...kill a canadian to qualify for the army, so i didnt class it as "Friendly Fire"... i didnt get a response, funny that.
January 15, 200520 yr not that many people die in iraq... a little over 1000 since the war started? think how many ppl niggers kill in that amount of time. 1000 is nothing. ^ Ahahahaha. Fucking retards, they'll be knocking on everybody's door looking for weapons of mass destruction next. Fuck the army.
