Salute! America gets America's Army demo

by Dustin Burg { Nov 2nd 2007 at 11:30AM }

There's a new America's Army: True Soldiers demo on the XBLM this morning, exclusive to the United States and exclusively Army-like. The blended co-op, multiplayer AA demo comes in at 535MB and should make you feel like a real US soldier seeing that the game is supposed to be super realistic and based on actual Army stuff. Another war game? Possibly. But we wouldn't get our hopes up too high, because word on the street is this war shooter doesn't live up to any amount of fun that's promised. Oh well, there's always the real US Army to join ...

Don't bother, seriously, sucky demo. You know there are going to be serious problems when the game's menu doesn't even respond to controls well. Also, realistic, not really, I took 4 rounds to the chest before it registered me as wounded

I was under the impression there was a REASON why they used to give these America's Army games away.... mainly because they weren't worth paying for.

Also, I love these games that promise military 'realism.' These games aren't realistic, because if they were they would suck.

Crappy propaganda game. Don't join the army!

The frame rate is lame as is the demo.

Yay for propaganda!

AA for PC used to be good, then it seemed like it go to extensive and i guess branded.

i agree with ncsu, the PC version of americas army used to be a fairly solid shooter. It wasn't anything special, but it was free.
Even the littlest bit of fun sucked out of something free is worth it to me.

you would think with all the money the US government pisses away all the time, they could have spent a little more to make sure this investment didn't suck.

I hope this shows what it's like as a soldier. Some should show a little more respect.

You all are stupid i for one have enjoyed this demo its the one fps that actually requires teamwork and its the most realistic fps i have ever played.The fact that you have to help your teammates is what annoys you all you are is just run and gun halo idiots.Typical morons that would rather be rambo run and gun than truly tactical this game puts rainbow six vegas to shame.
