The U.S. Army and Pragmatic Solutions today announced the beta release of the Leverage™ Master Browser for America’s Army® (AAMBS), the official server match-making and stats tracking site (aa-mbs.com) for the America’s Army® (AA) game community.
Pragmatic Solutions, in cooperation with the Army, developed an in-game system named AABrowser, which was officially launched 9 February 2006 in America’s Army: Special Forces (Link Up) (version 2.6.0), adding an advanced server browsing tool to the game client and a robust server tracking backend for game servers. With the launch of this companion website, gamers are offered an easy-to-access, near real-time view into active game play.
"The Leverage Master Browser System is the next step in providing a seamless transition into game play for the community,” says Peter Jakl, CEO of Pragmatic Solutions. “By powering a web-based tool (aa-mbs.com) that communicates directly with the in-game server browser, we've created a superior tool for gamers, one that draws its potential from advanced database-driven technology. We are committed to further enhancing the site so that it becomes the gold standard for America's Army and other titles."
Players, teams, and clans are able to access validated server stats with greater flexibility and accuracy than ever before through the AAMBS’ innovative attribute-based search engine. Users can simultaneously filter their searches using multiple criteria, creating fast results driven by the player’s interests.
Filtering options and stats displays include:
- Filter by Average Honor (players on server)
- Filter by Geographical Location
- Filter by AA Tour (Ranger, SF, etc.)
- Search by Server Name
- Search by Player Name
- Search by Server Player Count
Bonus features like heads-up display by geography and map, and a 24-hour “Worldplay” graph (showing percentages of players by country) provide a comprehensive snapshot of game play. Future planned enhancements include: voiceover IP, instant messaging, and game launch directly from the website. Pragmatic’s AAMBS strives to meet the ongoing goal of providing players with a single, unmatched source for finding great game play and networking within the America’s Army community.
