America's Army deploying on X360

By Tom Magrino, GameSpotPosted Jun 12, 2007 12:55 pm PT

Red Storm Entertainment and US Army bringing latest in wargame series to Xbox 360 this September.

France may not see eye to eye with the US's current foreign policy, but France-based publisher Ubisoft apparently sees no reason not to propagate America's Army. Ubisoft today announced it would be bringing America's Army: True Soldier to the Xbox 360 this September. True Soldier marks the second console iteration of the US Army's recruitment-minded tool since Ubisoft struck a deal to publish the wargame back in 2004.

In a fitting move, Ubisoft has tapped military-minded Red Storm Entertainment to develop True Soldier. Red Storm's recent credits include Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PlayStation Portable. Red Storm and the US Army are hoping to create an authentic, real-world experience in True Soldier, and the Ubisoft-owned developer will be bringing over its GRAW2 engine to help see that happen.

True Soldier will feature both single-player and multiplayer modes. Players can expect to assume the role of a rifleman, grenadier, automatic rifleman, and sniper as they progress their careers in the single-player campaign.

True Soldier's multiplayer mode will feature eight maps, as well as clan support over Xbox Live. In an attempt to add realism, the multiplayer game will also include a respect mechanic, and players can award teammates points for noteworthy gameplay. Also, skills earned in the single-player campaign, such as valor, marksmanship, stealth, and conditioning, will be integrated into the multiplayer portion of the game.

America's Army: True Soldier has been rated T for Teen. No price has yet been announced.

    Is this anything like Socom? If so, I might really get into it.

    We can all just wait for AA 3.0 for PC. I'm about 99% positive that it will be free, and hopefully better than 2.8 because they will be using the new unreal engine 3. The question is...why pay for it? Other than the people who are obbssesed with graphics.

    The US Army has already proclaimed its games as propaganda, and unashamedly so. Regardless, this game isn't any more pro-American or pro-military than other games of the type.

    That promist effect is hideous. Please oh please stop turning up the promist filter to 11, on every game released. The world isnt always blurry and hazy...its just such a cheesy effect. Make it look good, and you wont need or want a promist filter.

    Wow, I can't believe they're targetting teenagers 13+ for Army recruitment. What's next, illegal aliens? Oh wait, they're already doing that.

    I sort of liked ROAS but it did lack some good features, but I belive ubisoft learns from its mistakes, considering that it continues to make the ghost recon series better and better, so I sincerely hope that A*A:TS will be good

    sounds like a good deal and the screenshots look good, lets hope it stays that way since AA rise of a soldier wasn't all that great

    I hate America's Army, the training part was good, but the multiplayer was horrible. Wtf, I never knew who the hell I was shooting at, and I had to go through some loading screen to be put in a jail. Good thing it was free, this one isn't.
