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 [...] -
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 [...]

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 [...]

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:

Ain’t No Stopping Us Now!
If there’s one thing I’ve found in my gaming career, it’s that generally I do fairly well unless I do exceptionally stupid things. Most of the games I have are nice because you don’t get to see your feet. I’m pretty sure that if I could see my feet I’d have shot them a [...]
