America's Army exclusive to Xbox 360

Is this game like the Army commercials where you drop food from a plane? What's with the guns? I thought the Army just fed people. :P

Eat lead. I mean depleted Uranium shells.

So where does he say it's only going to 360? I just see him saying they have good experience with 360.

C'mon, this is America's Army. They're going to put it on every platform under the sun eventually if it means 5 more people signing up for suicide....I mean "serving" in Iraq.....I mean Iran...I mean Korea....

A war game on the Xbox 360!?!

16 player co-op is pretty sick. But ive hated army games since cod2.

using the GRAW 2 engine....so that means it's going to lag like crazy and have a bunch of exploits or glitches in the game then..great another peice of trash

But if they only put in on the 360, it won't sell well in Japan... oh, wait.

Another FPS for the 360? Wow... thats... mmm... innovation??

The AA games were great on the PC. Once there were good dedicated servers set up that is. Im sure it will be fun on the the 360 as well.

Bonus points for team killing? J/K!! Though I think it might sell well in just the one country...

Fernando, get a life dude. What do you expect an Army game to be a cooking sim with waggle controls? I'm pretty sure you're the one that calls every non-Wii game complete uninventive crap. Of course it is going to be a shooter, dumbass. As for innovation, I'd expect it to be a lot like their last game there Sherlock. It will be sorta okay but kinda suck. One positive is that it will likely sell very cheap. The PC one was free, wasn't it?

Sorry to be so harsh on fernie, it is just that he is so incredibly lame with every post people have to remind him/her what a tool they are once in a while.

wow jake. I didnt realize people still paid any attention to Fernandos posts anymore. I see the name and dont even bother to read. Hes just mad that 9 out of the next 10 games he will be purchasing for the wii has mario in the title or somehow in the game.

Wasn't(isn't) AA just a recruiting tool?

Im always curious to see what the sony trolls can come up with when yet another 360 exclusive is announced

"another war game on the 360? "another fps?"

you would think the trolls would take whatever game they could get their hands on for the ps3 seeing as there are 4 games available

America's Army for the American console.

sounds like a good enough reason, increases propaganda value

This game balances out Prince of Persia which is obviously a recruiting device for Al-qaeda.

Is this game really based on how the suits are running the army these days? No dragon Skin Armor (better tech), No up Armored Hummers (side quests to find your own scrap metal), No Strykers (better tech), Families scraping coin together to send what should be provided. Oh, and getting back home (if your lucky) after losing a leg to a moldy cockroach infested hospital room. I think not. These things are needed if they want to make this more “realistic”! Oh, and your toon (and any progress) should be wiped the minute it’s killed. That’s it, done! The game locks you out, can’t be played again, and recorded the console’s ID. Why? Because the reality of life and war is that you DON’T GET A SECOND CHANCE AFTER DEATH!

14@kompressor.

the only troll i see here is you.

Question?

Is the game going to be free, because AA has always been free. I don't think there is any reason to pay for a game which the development costs have already been paid for out of taxes.

AA has always strived to be the most realistic combat game. I wouldn't say a console is the best for that.

"you would think the trolls would take whatever game they could get their hands on for the ps3 seeing as there are 4 games available"

We're up to 4 now? Last I'd heard from the Commentator News Team here on Joystiq, we only had 2...

You anti army people need to get a life.

Or move to san francisco, where they hate the armed forces just as much as you do.

Nobody forced anybody into the army, and nobody who signed up in the last 5 years can claim they didn't know they were going to war in Iraq. Its their choice if the want to "throw their lives away" or as I prefer to say, make the ultimate sacrifice for God and Country.

None of you have half the conviction or courage as the average army recruit. Now shut the hell up, and get back to talking about how crappy a game this is.

@OrganicShadow

Please keep your war views to yourself, joining the army has risks just like every other job.

Anyways, will this game be free? Its always been free on the PC right.

Hey, if you want to make Croatia's Army or France's Army or Royal Navy or Belgium's Army or Switzerland's Army, feel free.

I agree with Adam. Every job has its risk. I know so many young men that were taking down by snipers while flipping hamburgers at the local McDonald's.

@Kompressor

Look honey, if you're gonna quote me, at least use what I wrote.

And second, I don't own a PS3, pork chop. Not until a price drop anyway.

Free on the pc, $60 on the Xbox360? Pass

Another 'realistic' war game for the 360, this time imaginatively titled "America's Army"...? Geez, I used to think war games were cool too, but then I turned 12.

PS: crono, you are an idiot.

Am I? Explain it to me.

*grabs popcorn*

Yeah crono you are. Just because most of us aren't stupid enough to sign up for the US Army which is involved in a dumb and idiotic war in Iraq doesn't mean we lack the courage or conviction. IF there was a real reason to fight and IF my country truly needed me to pick up a sword and a gun I wouldn't hesistate a second to do so.

But no we're fighting for oil under the guise of a "war on terror" that our dumbass president has flamed since Day One in the White House.

As for this game I don't think I'll be getting it. But I'm sure it will do fine. And Fernando you really need to get a life. You sony trolls just can't seem to get it. People love to shoot shit. So geuss what? Microsoft is providing it for them. I'd be more worried about the piece of shit 3 and its lack of decent games both now and in the future. Because besides FF theres no other game that I can see making everyone else go out and buy a 600 dollar machine that just happens to play videogames.

Yeah Crono, you are a tool. I served 5 years in the Marine Corps as a Machinegunner (Iraq invasion tour), and I still think your an idiot. I agree with the others.

I'm pretty sure that the Apple iPhone will solve the problem in the middle east.

At least that is what the guy at the Cingular store keeps telling me.

"But no we're fighting for oil under the guise of a "war on terror" that our dumbass president has flamed since Day One in the White House."

And how much of that oil have we seen?

Anybody who believes that we went into Iraq for Oil is the real idiot with no reasoning skills. I never said it wasn't smart to stay out of the army right now, I just said it takes real courage and conviction to sign up knowing, KNOWING, you were going to iraq and had a real possibility of dying there. You can be disillusioned all you like, but the fact is the US presence in iraq is the only thing keeping it stable.

The war has been botched, there are very few left who will argue that, but the goal of a peaceful democratic Iraq are still there. And the only reason we are staying there is because if we left, the nation would fall into even further chaos, civil war, and possibly genocide.

I don't like that we're stuck in Iraq either, but we really are stuck, with the only ethical way out being victory. To pull out our troops would condemn all our supporters, create a free training zone for international terrorists, and almost assuredly cause all out civil war.

If you were the president, would you leave, knowing that your actions, though saving the lives of hundreds of american soldiers in the short term, would cost the lives of hundreds of thousands more Iraqi's, with the probablity of genocide? If you say yes, then you're a bastard. Like I said before, I'm not to happy with how the president has conducted this war. I'm actually pretty pissed. But, like it or not, we have no alternative.

You guys need to chill out. The iPhone is coming.

It was sent to earth to die for your sins and text messages.

I feel a profound pity for those who succeed at America's Army. Those who manage to score very well in the game receive tons of recruitment information.

Now 360 owners are going to have to pay in order to receive recruitment propaganda.

And Crono, substitute "conviction and courage" with "profound ignorance and sociopathic tendancies" and I'm right with you there, buddy.

So you're saying it takes "profound ignorance and sociopathic tendancy's" to join the military?

I guess we're way past supporting our troops. Thats almost as bad as John Kerry saying that if you don't do well in school you'll end up stuck in Iraq.

That there's real patriotism.

For God so loved the world that He gave His only-begotten iPhone so that whoever believes in it might not perish but have everlasting life.

Oh, one more thing Johnny boy. The president didn't start the war on terror. We were the ones attacked, 9 months after Bush entered office.

So no, he wasn't "flaming the war on terror from day one".

There's a poem that goes something like this: "And when he gets to Heaven, To Saint Peter he will tell: 'Another soldier reporting Sir, I’ve served my time in hell.'" I don't care what war you served in, but if you died for someone's freedom, or if you died for what you believed was right, you are truly the greatest of human beings.

wewt

the term "xbots" now has even deeper meaning as xbox becomes the first propganda-friendly console!

This just in. "We will not release this on the PS3 because there is no way an army game will compete with SOCOM. On the 360, the main competition is HALO and this is different, so we stand a chance to get the 5 people who don't like HALO to buy this."

If this game comes out at anything but $10, I'll laugh.


Seriously, it's free. You do not have to pay for it. The army is giving it away.

My favorite posts ever are the ones where people claim that they're fighting for my freedom, as if Iraq has ever been a threat to the U.S. or had anything to do with Al-Qaeda. If we pulled out right now, or somehow magically "won" right now, my freedom would be unaffected either way.

P.S. LOL, another shooter on the HaloBox 360.

I was going to add a sarcastic comment about the genre diversity of games on the 360, but I see that base has been well covered.

And what is this, youtube? Whats with all the iraq war comments? :p

Thank you for your service Marine.

brainwashing for free yeeeeeeeehaaaaaa
call me in...
anyone else wanna die for oil?
