What's New in v1.90:
Medical Training
This edition of America's Army introduces medical personnel to the game. Individual's wishing to participate in this feature will first have to pass four separate training courses. These courses are as follows:
- Airway Management (In this class, players will learn how to administer medical attention to casualties that are not breathing.)
- Controlling Bleeding (This course teaches how to treat wounded soldiers and control blood loss.)
- Treating Shock (This class instructs individuals on how to treat casualties who are in shock.)
- Field Test (The final course will be a field test in which players must put their new skills to work under the same conditions that they will experience in the game.)
Combat Medic
Players who successfully complete medical training will be able to assume the role of a Combat Medic in the game. As a Combat Medic, players will be able to earn extra points and contribute to their team's success by administering medical aid to injured team members.
New Damage Model
With the introduction of the Combat Medic, a new damage model is being introduced to the game. Under the new method, every bullet carries with it a maximum potential damage. When injured, only a portion of that damage is initially inflicted upon the wounded player. The remaining damage is suffered over time through blood loss, as well as the loss of combat effectiveness. Medical personnel who treat injured players will be able to stop the bleeding and save the casualty from further loss of health, as well as partially restore combat effectiveness.
New Character Models
All characters in the game have been replaced with higher resolution models and textures, as well as many new animations. This includes US Soldiers as well as OPFOR and civilian characters.
New Interface
A brand new interface has been created for America's Army, built completely from scratch. Not only presenting a slicker, more professional look and feel to the front end, the menu system is designed to keep up with the growing content of the game. This is the initial release of the interface, and more functionality will be introduced in future updates.
New Theme Song
Along with the new interface comes a new theme song written specifically for the game.
Detail Textures
Some surfaces will now present highly detailed textures when viewed up close. This feature will begin to show up more prominently in future updates.
Player Shadows
Both low and high detailed character shadows are now available in the game.
Lip Sync and Facial Animations
Training maps will now have characters whose mouths move and faces animate while they are speaking.
PunkBuster anti-cheating software
This version of the game will utilize the PunkBuster anti-cheating solution. To take advantage of this system, players must agree to the PunkBuster license agreement during installation. All official servers will run PunkBuster.
