I'm learning about it, and am curious, is it free, or is there a demo that doesn't have a time limit? I might be interested in playing. ------------------ |

It's totally free, I played it for a while. It's more realistic, Counter Strike style realistic I'm told, so it's not for run around and fun 'em up fans. But if you like tactics and more intense, realistic play I'd go for it. It's fun and they also just released game map making software for it as well. ------------------ |

It's totally free on account of it being almost a promo for the military. You go through "training," get badges then go out and fight. Interesting concept, but I'm not too in tacical FPS's. ------------------ |

It is interesting what the Army has come up with the market themselves. Unfortunately, this is nothing like the real thing, that was, nothing like my experience. Americas army computer operators. Not an exciting RPG huh? ------------------ If you ain't in the forums, you in the againstums :) |

I got bored when I had to go to the class and pass the test. If it's that complicated to know the different specifications then I don't think it's too much like a game anymore. Just tell me which side I'm on and send me out! LOL |

i just looked at america's army on wikipedia, and it is completely free, so you don't need a demo. it also has links on the bottom of the page to the official website and some reviews and stuff. ------------------ "By the way, what does BTW mean?" - IRC message This post Copyright © 2007 leet hacker.

Bridge SE... running up the ridge, dropping prone behind a rock and slamming my bipod's prongs into the snow-encrusted ground, then watching an unwary enemy soldier moving slowly down the ledge on my side of the bridge. My first shot hit the concrete by his head. He just kept moving slowly down the ledge.... such a bad idea. Probably didn't even notice. Dang... I loved playing that game. Can't play it anymore. |

I used to play America's Army quite a bit, just recently downloaded the latest version and going to fire up my old account. I found the game to be one of my favorite Multiplayer FPS experiences ever. ------------------ |

Hey i was looking through some old posts from about a year ago... You all were going to start a clan with members from here. I think that's a great idea! I'm for it if you guys want to do it. ------------------ |
