Living a soldier’s life without the bullets flying (it’s even fun!)
Ever thought about being a soldier, but not sure you want to wear the flak jacket?
Well, today the U.S. Army has created simulated soldiering that puts anyone in middle of the war zone, on patrols and more with a link on the Internet.
Called America’s Army 3, this one-of-a-kind action game delivers an authentic and entertaining Army experience. How? By reflecting the training, technology, actions, and career advancement of a soldier within an adventurous, realistic game that’s not only free, but fun and yes, even educational.
Players can download the game from Steam (www.americasarmy.com/steam), as well as from partners listed at the America’s Army website (http://www.americasarmy.com/).
Regular updates will keep the missions and technology current.
In America’s Army 3, details matter, so the game has more authentic military elements - including training, technology, weapons, and audio than any other military game. Built on surprisingly realistic environments, lighting effects, animations, and team-based experiences, America’s Army players can experience how soldiers train, live, and advance in the Army.
Players are bound by Rules of Engagement and gain experience as they navigate challenges in force-on-force operations.
The game is launching with five different environments, each with three different mission scenario options. The core of the game focuses on an infantry soldier. Players first complete Basic Combat Training and progress to Advanced Individual Training for a variety of specialized roles, such as Advanced Rifleman, Automatic Rifleman, Squad Designated Marksman, and Grenadier.
The America’s Army 3 game offers a number of new features including:
Army values are matched with certain game behaviors, meant to demonstrate these values. For example, personal courage can be demonstrated by accomplishing the mission even if the player is the last teammate to remain in the game. Selfless service is shown by aiding an injured soldier even though it may put the player in harm’s way.
Players can select teammates based on their soldier profiles, which reflect how players have progressed in the game as well as their player roles/gameplay style preferences.
The Army launched America’s Army in July of 2002, and has released major updates to the game every few months. These releases feature new technologies, missions, Army units, and occupations. In keeping with the dynamic nature of Soldiering, the America’s Army game will continue to expand and allow players to explore the Army of today, tomorrow and the future.
Naturally, one of the goals in this game is to recruit new soldiers. But it is a surefire way to weed out those not cut out for military life (especially combat) and to attract those that are gung-ho.
