Actually, I read about this game in PC World Mag (I think it was PC World), and according to them it was originally intended as a recruitment tool.

DJ: want some ketchup with that hat? ;)

It's a good advertising practice.. gets the name name brand known igf anything. But it's hardly arecritment tool, no matter how long your brother's paper is. :) There's no directions to your local recruitment office or anything. It just gives army history and info.

DJ your wrong. The US government actually set this program up as a technicall Recruitment tool. What they think is ppl play this game they might come to the army. My brother did about a 5 page paper on it right after it came out. The US Congress actually passed this. Thats why i'm not sure how long it will be free, because if they see that rates of new members in the army hasn't gone up, they might think this game isn't working, and therefore not keep making it. But once again IT IS CONSIDERED A RECRUITMENT TOOL


and who says all gamers are scrawny?
*EDIT* Start eating your hat:)

AA is *free* as in beer. :) Download it and have fun. And to cut the naysayers off at the pass it's NOT a damned US Army recruitment tool. The day the US Army runs so low on soldiers that it starts recruiting pasty, pimply, scrawny, pale 15 year old gamers is the day I eat my hat. And I like my hat. :)

Once you get it keep in mind that you CAN die after getting shot once or twice, not like JA or Quake or anything. Keep your group spread out. One grenade can take out an entire squad if theyre close together, so learn how to throw em right. Never rush, winners in AA take their time. Throw smoke as a diversion.

the game is totally free. No fees.

You can get it at www.aafiles.com

Operations is the game you can download now. Soldiers is still in progress, and will be more like a rpg.
I think its great fun once in a while :)

And rampage, im happy, because im getting internet next week :D

I confess I assumed this was a thread about alcoholism too. Some time check out http://www.moderndrunkardmagazine.com and read their article about how to beat an intervention.
