I cant seem to be able to handle the game America's Army even on normal settings or the lowest or highest it makes no difference. When i join the best possible pinged served i have a ping from around 100-130 when i see everyone else is at 20 or less. I tried to find some information bout internet connection and computer specs and hopefully you can help me find the problem. Thanks in advance.

Your computer is fast enough for Americas Army; it's about as demanding as Half Life 2, so if you can play that you can play AA:O. A ping of about 80-100 is normal for a decent connection to a server in the same country; people with 20 ping are playing at the computer which is running the server, or at least behind the same router.
If the server is abroad or has iffy connection you can get very high pings.

I played AA:O a lot some years ago, and if you're new to the game there's one thing you should know: it's completely overrun by cheaters. On every public server there are at least a few players who use aimbots, maphacks, wallhacks, fullbright skins, radar... you name it. The anti-cheat technology of AA:O has been utterly defeated by the cheaters. And not only on the private servers, it's actually worse on the official servers due to cheaters going there to farm fame.

That's why I stopped playing. The only way to play AA:O with some enjoyment is by playing with people you know on a closed server. Then it's the best multi-player FPS around.

EDIT: Guys, if you think a post is inappropriate, click the red triangle in the lower left of it and let the mods sort it out.

If you had bothered to check over at the America's Army forums you would see this is s common problem to everyone playing this game. They will see your ping as low and theirs as high. It has been discussed there extensively. With a ping of 100-200 you will be fine for the game, as you will not actually experience the lag as severely as you ping would suggest.

Your more than likely best off looking at America's Army forums for tech help with their game.
