America's Army Is Most Downloaded War Game

This game is free, is constantly updated, and is a blast to play.

I remember back when version 1.6 came out, which added a realistic health system, and a new aiming/recoil system. Then they came out with the Special Forces patch around 2.0, which gave you a mod-able m4 and different maps (like Chopper Search And Rescue) and Sandstorm.

I have to commend the Army and the developers of this game, because anyone with a decent PC can download it for free and not only learn about the Army, teamwork, but also its a great FPS with a tremendous sense of realism, competition and fun.

If you haven't tried it, you would be foolish not to. Version 3.0 is gonna rock on the new UE engine.

/Edit: Please keep in mind people that this game is NOTHING like the AA:True Soldiers game that was release for Xbox 360. That game completely sucked balls forever. The PC game is the real deal, i would give it a 9.3/10 if I had to give it a rating. If you do end up trying it, don't quit cause you get owned, keep playing, as this game will make you better at all FPS period.

Free pswi60 said. But I don't like the propaganda they try to put in to recruit players into the army. I mean, that is their whole goal with this game. Once again though, it's not bad..training sucks in it though. Lol..a lot...considering there is a butt load of buttons you have to learn.

Of course they're trying to recruit you. No big secret there. But it's not like they're putting a gun to your head and forcing you to join. It's still a pretty solid game regardless. I was sad to see the 360 version get butchered, as it doesn't do the PC version any justice at all. Sadly, I know some people who won't play this game because they're paranoid about giving the Army their info, which is laughable. You can play this game anonymously.

i agree with your comment about this being a game with cheaters.

i used to play AA competitive under TWL and CAL, and believe me, i know all about hackers in AA. Punkbuster rarely works, allthough it was always fun seeing a PB update stealth release and watching people get perm-banned.

this is a great game for free, there is no denying it. perhaps that's why there are so many cheaters.
