America's Army

[3rd gen noob]

i'm considering downloading america's army, however, it's quite a big download (over 600MB)
before i commit to it, is the game any good?
also is it free to play online?
thanks for any opinions...

firstly yes it is free to play online
i downloaded the game but couldnt get it to work (might try again another time tho)
I have only heard good things about this game but apperently it takes a bit of getting used to and the people that play multiplayer are very good.

I've played it. It seems to be very good. I couldn't get online though.

Dude, what version are you looking at? The one I downloaded a while ago (v1.70) is only 387MB.

That being said, it is a pretty good game. It's tough, though. Oh man did I try to get a sniper qualification, but no luck.

the full 1.90 version from the official site is 604.85MB
it's a good job i've just got adsl today, however, because i'm dling from the free server, i've been getting 'only' 20kB/sec all day long
only about an hour to go now though...

Just go to a recrute place for the army and they give them out free. I think the server is down cu zi cant get online. So you'll only be able to do the trainingm, witch only last like 5 min.

i'm from the uk
i believe the america's army game is only available in america (though i think i read about sas teams in the game...?)

i've been downloading it since just after i posted the first comment in this thread
the problem is that the only free source is on a public server, which severely limits the available bandwidth
plus of course, i've been dling other stuff...
