America's Army

[TheDave]

is it really really free?

how big are the multiplayer games?

is the gameplay any good?

what other game is it closestly compable to?

is it gonna make me sick to the stomach with americanisms like "we're the greatest country in the world and we must wipe out this terrorist scum?



:unsure:

Yes its free. Max 32 players I believe. You get ranked by honer points and get these points by completing objectives, killing enemys and such. It's pretty fun, but DON't I reapeat DON'T shoot your own teamate it will lower your honer, and even send you to 'jail' sometimes. Plus you get kicked way to eaisily. O yea you need to do training to be sniper, medic, etc.
No, it won't make you think at all about how good the U.S. army is.
All in all it's pretty fun for multiplayer gameing.

100% free

i think 32 is max for a server not sure might be more

game play is pretty fun, kinda reminds me of ghost recon but more realistic

the only thing i didnt like about that game is you had to go through training to get good guns :)

how good is it for laggage. i presume theres no co-op so could 2 PCs share 512/256 connection without lag?

not too much lag, pretty fun while it lasts
