America's army

<div class="IPBDescription">What's that? free game?</div><a href="http://www.americasarmy.com" target="_blank">America's Army</a>

At approximately midnight tonight this game is going to be released to the world. It's a FPS, it will use squad-based tactics, and best of all, it's not CS. This game is free to download (the US Army sees it as a recruiting tool), and from what I hear (from beta testers sacrificing their lives), hela fun to play. I think everyone should give this a try (because it's free).

Lots of groovy features. You want to be a sniper? Go through sniper training school. When you've completed it, the other players will now see your character with a specialized patch indicating your l33tn3ss. I'll be waiting for pyro school. <!--emo&;)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'><!--endemo--> Complete with basic training, this should be an awesome experience for everyone. (Did I mention it's free?)

Could be just the thing for you hardcore FPS freak who are looking for something to kill time between the last drastically new FPS (Max Payne) and the best thing since organized crime (Natural Selection).

I haven't read up on this one much at all, but have heard bits and pieces about it.  I'm sure surprised by the quality of it.  If I were a fan of "modern" shooters I would certainly check it out.  What does it say when a game is created primarily as an advertising (recruitment in this case) medium?

Hard to get excited about much of anything when NS is so close though!   <!--emo&:tiny:--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tiny.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':tiny:'><!--endemo-->

Hmm, i wonder if this game has some spyware in it, so if you do well, a Staff Sergeant can come knocking at your door to recruit you...

Hmm, I'll be sure to read the EULA thouroughly.

There are <b>two</b> seperate games right? Does that mean there are two seperate downloads?

Is one SP and the other MP?

Operation recon,is a 3d action game wich you get to kill terrorist and co-operate with your team mates for victory in5 huge maps.

The US Armys FPS is based on the unreal engine, think its the Unreal2 engine.  Wonder how much they are paying for licensing?

SmokeMasta

it suxors bigtime
oke it's looking good and it's realistic
but it's not for the players with not a l33t PC
minimum sys reqs r P3 766 mhz 128 mbram 32 mb 3dcard.
lot's of players can't handle the specs

P.S:Pr0phecy use the Edit button instead of posting a new post just modify your last post

Spyder_Monkey

SmokeMasta, I would start getting used to this sort of thing... games coming out nowadays on newer engines are starting to up the requirements. This will be the beginnging of a new era in gaming.

I've been playing the training missions for a while now.  Fun stuff, can't wait to register and go online.  I'll be sure to post my call-sign when I figure it out <!--emo&:p--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'><!--endemo-->

I need mirrors! Fileplanet is so slow. I could drive to the airport, fly to their server farm in America, break into the building, steal a hard disk, fly home, and get America's Army installed quicker than using their site. Does anyone know faster mirror sites?
