Well I watched something about the progress of video games over the years the other day and they mentioned a game, paid for with US tax dollars, made and released by the US Army. It's a FPS (First Person Shooter) and it's online playable....oh ya, and it's free! o.O I am about to download and try it, if youw ant to, you can go to the link below. (You don't have to be in the US to use it). They claim it's just something to get ppl interested in the army...I have other thoughts which I won't get into...

What do you think? Is the game good? Is it a valid use of tax dollars?

Note: This game is for Windows, MAC, and Linux

i heard about this game a long time ago on Gamezville and i thought it looked good but i couldnt remember the link.
Thanks Blade

This game is pretty old. It's a good game, but after the special forces version it's just too laggy.

Yep i think this game rox.
It doesn't necessarily get you interested in the American army. Anyway i'm from belgium and I play it, as do several other europeans, and alot of people from everywhere really.
It's really realistic and it's a really good game.  Defenitly worth trying. Especially when you're in a clan, then the game really reaches it's highest point of fun and excitement in clanwars

It's not old really, the army brings out updates now and then, to add new maps, weapons, trainings, bugfixes and so on. I must agree the SF maps are getting a bit laggy but with a good system it shouldn't be a problem i think. (Not that i have a good system )

Cya on the battlefield

all i can say is 728MB

Appearantly the diffrence this game makes is it's degree of realism. It does its absolute best to bring the true reality of everyday warfare life to the user. I don't play the game myself (except for a few rare times, umph, I suck at it) but appearantly, you need to do trainings first, before you are able to actually play the game. You will be required to complete trainings successfully and the excellence in which you completed them will be stored at the America's Army servers. They will decide alot about the future of your career and about how far you will be able to continue training. The more trainings you complete, the more things you unlock.
If you're looking for max realism and community spirit, this is your game.

reinstall it in the same folder and then uninstall it

but this has happened before on the computer before it was wiped so i dont think it was just a bad install this time cos i couldnt get rid of it last time either.. any other ideas?

I have it and i play since january i love the game stopped 2 months need some training now
My usenrame is [Negative]_.CraC.KeD or something seemed

I really am not going to get that game, I don't like the idea of sitting down and waiting while they're in prison, is that that game, or am I thinking of some other game that is going to come out? Good on the army for bringing out such a game, its just that.. all they want is troops, and are pretty much doing it through some little weird subliminal techniques which are quite... extraordinary for such professional people to do, unless of course they're desperate for the extra man power to use, I doubt there is a constant need for the supply of men on a battle field, unless its worse that in they say it is in iraq, and more people are dying...

Prison? what are you talking about?

I got the game but only had time to play once, its annoying that you have to do training before you can play online so i can onl play the baaasic levels....

also in training if u turn around and shoot the guy teaching you ..... you wake up in a jail cell lol

The game is really gr8 is the best fps out there in my opinion UT2004 is also good but its faster less strategy etc.

You only get in jail if you kill any of your teammates more than once or in the head there are rules of engament if u barke them lot of times u get in the jail..

I wouldn't say it's the best FPS, not at all, but then again i haven't played it much so i still have to see

So far the best FPS IMO would be a close tie between MoH and Halo

Halo is gr8 never tried MoH but i love AAO

Im sure once u start playing for real u will see how cool aao is.
The onl thing i dont like is the text that appears when the game its loading .
Nice Sig btw.
