America's Army: District and Canyon become official

Appearing on the official America's Army website comes a new SITREP which indicates that a map pack called "Champlain Map Pack" will be released in the next few days.
Enter: Champlain Map Pack.

Champlain Map Pack is America's Army v2.8.4 newest addition to the current version. The map pack will give players the chance to play District and Canyon on official Honor servers.

The two maps were created by students at Champlain College in Vermont.





The above screenshots show District and Canyon, respectively.

This will be the second time we see college students develop AA maps. In v2.8.1, Southern Methodist University's Guildhall developed four maps for the game, with guidance from the America's Army developers.

There is also an important update concerning the AA Deploy Client located at the bottom of the SITREP.

"We wanted to thank everyone in the America’s Army community for their patience and support for the America’s Army Deploy Client since launching this new download tool with America’s Army v2.8.4. We have been working hard on both client and network improvements over the past two months and plan to continue releasing improvements for this download platform moving forward," Ed "Phoenix" DeGorter's SITREP says.

"One of the main features of the AA Deploy Client is its ability to allow each user to help contribute to the America’s Army community by sharing some of their bandwidth and allowing other users to download some of the game data from their local data storage. This is an important feature in many ways, as it can help extend the life of the game by reducing some of the network overhead, especially when new features are released."
