The free multiplayer shooter America's Army 3 is scheduled to get a major update today with several new features that should be a huge help for players. The update should be live right now via an auto-update on the game's Deploy Client. You should be able to see some of the new features on the game's Account Management Website.

One of the new features is something you can see above. The Combat Map shows a top down view of how many kills have happened in each maps with one dot representing one kill. Players can use the info to determine where to see up ambushes and where to to be caution. Another new feature that uses the top down map view is the Battle Planner where teams can actually draw their attack plans on top of the map to show teammates where to go in a multiplayer match.

More info about the update can be found after the jump:

The new update will also have new leaderboards which will give players a chance to show their rankings in a number of different categories. You will also be able to check out your personal stats as well as any America's Army 3 player via the new Personnel Jacket feature where you can get info on achievements, mission history and more.

Finally the new update brings in a new web server browser to the game. It will allow folks to not only see all of the AA3 servers online but filter them down to specific areas like Map Name, Player Count, Mission Type and more.
