Smoke Grenades
Today I’m going to talk about my friend the Smoke Grenade. I was planning on doing flashes next, but I typed smoking in the title, and don’t feel like tweaking it. Plus I have a few things I’d like to say about smoke grenades, so it works out.
This post will probably address COD4 a bit [...]

Obligatory Modern Warfare 2 Post
I feel obligated to write this post because this trailer is so cool looking. If you’re like me and you only buy one game (or perhaps two) per year, you should probably make it this one.
Tips on Frag Grenades
I’m going to talk a little bit about grenades today. I’ll be talking a bit about all sorts of grenades, mainly America’s Army usage as it’s what I know best. In COD4 nades don’t take nearly as long to pull and throw, so it’s easier to use them effectively. In America’s Army it’s very easy [...]
Busting Framerate Myths
Alright, so a lot of junk information is spread about framerates… What V-Sync does, what resolution does, what the human eye can see at, what monitors can display at. I’m just gonna write something up right now, because all the controversy is bugging me. This post will be split up into a couple sections, and [...]
Reloading
Today’s post is going to be on reloading. Actually, most of you are pretty good at this. In Call of Duty 4 (hardcore mode) it’s especially important because you never can tell (unless you’re really good at counting) how many bullets you’ve fired. If you don’t know how many bullets you’ve fired you can’t really [...]
Don’t Do Training – AA3
I saw an announcement from the America’s Army 3 thing on Facebook and thought I’d post about it here.
Part of the difficulties we’ve all been seeing stems from the large number of training missions being run with everyone trying to save their results. This is putting a sizable strain on the Authentication servers, but we [...]
Working AA3 Server
I figured it would be a good idea to post this here. I’ve gotten a working America’s Army 3 server up (running on Windows Server 2008 R2). As I write this it has 7 people on it and no one has complained about lag (I even asked). It’s not honor or authorized so you don’t [...]
Cover 101
There are two types of cover, they say… there’s cover that keeps you from being seen; this is called concealment, and there’s cover that stops bullets, this is usually just called cover. It’s important to be able to tell the difference between the two, and know how to use each of them best. Today, I’m [...]

America’s Army 3 Hotfix
So the America’s Army release was pretty horrible. all the auth servers basically died. You couldn’t really do much of anything until this afternoon, and even then it was sketchy. Well, a patch has been released that’s supposed to fix some of those problems. The update news from Steam reads as follows:
Updates to America’s Army [...]
