    Another FREE!!! game anyone?

    America's Army 3 is out next week through steam and pre download has already started.
    Used to love this game and lots of changes for number 3.

    You have to sign up for the US army if you play for more than 3 hours.

    I may check this out once I get a new computer, although I wasn't too fond of the 2nd.. Especially the special forces training.

    Re: Another FREE!!! game anyone?

    The training put me off it last time but I preloaded this a few days ago anyway,
    although once past the training the last edition did turn out to be very enjoyable..
    Plus it's free!

    No catch, honest.

    It can get a little silly with long training missions and theory lessons aswell in the previous game but at least everyone in the game knew what to do. No stupid questions which you get with other games when people just head straight to the MP without learning the game.

    Re: Another FREE!!! game anyone?

    Played the original version for a while when it was first released, preloading the new one now

    If you're wondering why it's free, it's because it's developed by the US army as a promotional tool.
    I don't mean to sound cold, or cruel, or vicious, but I am so that's the way it comes out.

    Re: Another FREE!!! game anyone?

    Okay, so to classify.

    This game is developed by the US army.

    It gives strenuous training on how to be a soldier.
    It teaches you how to kill like a soldier. The lot.

    I wonder how many times this games' name must come up in the court cases where they reckon games cause serial killers. haha!

    Strenuous? if it's anything like the last one 30 seconds at a firing range is enough to get you going (basic weapons only though), and we all know when it comes to court cases they all take their behavior out on Grand theft auto.

    In all seriousness though the game is all online MP, it's continually supported and updated so if you leave it for a few months and come back there'll be new maps/weapons to play with.
    There's nothing to match it in terms of post release support, thanks to the unique way in which it's funded Quite frankly if you play fps online there's very little that can match it.

    You could probably get better training information off wikipedia, little difference to COD4 in that respect. Moving the mouse and clicking a button is not training to use guns.
