Title: Free PC Game - America\'s Army

I know this is old news to many of you but I bet there are weirdos like me who have no idea how much fun this game is.  I think it has a near perfect mix of action and strategy.  And best of all it\'s free (legally!). ;)

Download it and tell us what you think.  Btw- the new 1.6 version makes it look much better compared to older releases from what I hear.

I suppose I could, probably later. If it\'s not good it\'s your balls on the BBQ.

*KISSES THX*

In my opinion the best online game out there besides Dark Age Of Camelot. We\'ll play Insurgent Camp sometime. :)

And Clowd, I\'ve done that run out on d tactic so many times and got 6-8 kills numerous times in one round. I usually go in the tents then just throw some good nades at the people on the hills. In the usual one round/7 games I usually average over 20 kills which is almost always far more than everyone else with a mere 5 or 6. If I get the 203 on assault I\'m guaranteed atleast 3-4 kills cause I\'ve mastered hitting the windows and everywhere.

Seriously, I\'m dominant at that level. I know all the best spots and all the best tricks. My fav being having a saw, throwing a non-live nade into a room, then run in with it and right past it to someone who an easy kill. That works beyond well in tunnel and radio room.

Us 3 should play sometime soon. I\'ve deleted the game due to the fact it took up so much time, but if we could get a little team going on that would be worth it. 3 people working together simply can\'t be stopped in that game. :)

Some of my all-time fav moments came from this game. The time I was sitting in bpc(me being on d) with an enemy saw in red...5 people walked by the open door(another sneaky tactic, they expect the person to be outside the door...), 5 people down. I got 6 people with a sniper once while on d too. I go beyind the building with it where people simply can barely see you and you canpick off everyone on the hills and the people slowly walking around the back of the building.

i stopped playing this game for one reason. MILES gets old. I realize that this is a recruitment thing and is made to show you what the army is like, but MILES plainly sucks balls. Took 6 shots to the head? they could\'ve at least made the hits realistic, even though its jsut a military version of laser tag. The live maps are pretty fun, but theres a better selection(even though this was free and the ones i play were 50 bucks)


I might take a look at Soldiers when it comes out. Its basically a training RPG with you being one of the people being trained. Then i think the person u are in Soldiers, u can put that character into Operations

I had downloaded this game awhile ago, but the thing was buggy as hell and kept crashing on me.

Has it improved recently?  I think I tried it around when it was released.

EDIT:  I\'m trying to download this thing now... can\'t seem to find a working link.  But if I ever DO get this downloaded maybe those of us who have it could play a game or two sometime.
