Too realistic and slow paced

User Rating: 6.2 | America's Army PC
Being a big fan of FPSs and MMPs I downloaded this game after reading the excellent reviews posted about on gamespot. This 'realistic' game is published by the US Army to make people understand what is really going on inside the army and to encourage more people to join it.

When they say realistic, I can hardly believe them. The choppy character movement and difficulty switching positions. The constant jams and the irritating lag and bugs. It's a glitch of a game. Enabling Punkbuster causing problems, kicking players who don't cheat, such as I. Also, critical errors because the game can't play right, which means coding problems. Early versions included deathly annoying netcode problems. Meaning on the HUGE maps, the bullets would stop and not reach a selected target. Hm, that's certainly realistic. The worst part is the training. Although this is realistic as far as military goes. It's a dud. C'mon, this is a video game! We want action! Rather than sitting through training pulling off stupid assignments. It's difficult to do the jumping and get into sniper course since the target's in rifle training disagree with physics and don't fall when shot. When you're finally done training you get to go into the somewhat better online play. Hurray? The graphics are good I will say, but on a map so big it causing choppy behavior and irritating gameplay. Also the sound is again, realistic, and doesn't have anything wrong with it. Although, no background music or interesting sounds make it sort of plain.

Take my advice and stick out of this game.
