Great multi-player. I found this game to be very well made. Level of realism not found in any other military FPS'.

Played the demo on XBOX-Live. I was honestly pretty impressed. Where so many military oriented FPS' rely on intense theatrics to bring the presentation to life, this game does it nicely on plain ol' reality. For example, instead of using a reticle bore-sighted to the center of your screen, you actually have to aim your weapon and stare down the front sight posts to effectively place fires down range. The individual movement is definitely blocky, but rest assured, so is the case in real life and combat. The feel and sound of the weapons are dead on. I only recommend you turn the volume up on your system to appreciate how loud these weapons really are when employed. As a Combat Infantryman having served in Baghdad, Iraq, I found the the overall experience of this "simulation" very accurate as far as a game can possibly go when depicting combat on the ground. However, many I think will be disappointed in this game because of what the perception of combat is like. Call of Duty 4, for example, is no doubt very intense and dramatic - and fun, but does not really bring to reality the typical experience of ground pounding. Large battles are extremely overwhelming, but they don't happen very often at all. "America's Army" is a down to earth, realistic reflection of what being a soldier is like. I found it very gratifying. Again, if you think GRAW, Call of Duty ect....... is what it's really like, it's all Hollywood. Great fun for sure, but Hollywood all the same. Finally, this game can definitely use some polishing. The graphics could be upgraded some, and the movement could be a little more fluid, but again, they are not so bad that they really take away from the over all experience. I enjoyed playing this.
Caveat: What in heaven's name are they teaching you all in English these days? I've never seen such horrid writing and grammar in my entire life.
