Its free. Why not download it and give it a try, right? Sure go ahead, but I feel like I wasted my time with it. It took longer to download the game, than for me to stop playing and uninstall it. Boring, bland, tedious, just a few ways to describe it. Gameplay It is supposed to mimic real life, but that is not why I play videogames (for the most part). If I wanted to have the experience of being in the army, I might as well join it. But I guess this is a good alternative if you are unable to move less than 20 feet without having to rest. Its slow and uneventful. You have to go through training to be able to play more than the beginner map. And frankly, it sucks. An example of this training you do; sit in a virtual classroom and listen to a lecture, then take an ONLINE TEST!!!! HOORAY! Once you finally get online with actual people, it more confusing than ever. You choose your team, then pick some other junk, then do some special thing, and then you might be able to play. I could never really figure out how to even get ingame and fire my weapon. I was stuck on some menu and had to quit. So basically, i never even got to play this game. Graphics Nothing special here. Not good, not bad. Sound Since it is realistic it sounds pretty darn good. From the bullet shells hitting the ground to the explosions of grenades, all of it is pretty good. The boring lectures are what made me give it a nine. Online school is just as boring as real life school. Value It's free. What more could you ask for.
