The America's Army game provides civilians with an inside perspective and a virtual role in today's
premier land force: the U.S. Army. The game is designed to provide an accurate portrayal of Soldier
experiences across a number of occupations. In the game, players will explore progressive individual
and collective training events within the game. Once they successfully completed these events they
will advance to multiplayer operations in small units
What makes America's Army different from other action games in this genre?
America's Army emphasizes teamwork, values and responsibility as means to achieving the goals.
We believe that several factors make America's Army different from other games.
Training & Teamwork
First, the game mirrors the Army in terms of the progression of game play and experiences.
Just as new Soldiers must complete basic and advanced training before joining Army units, gamers
must complete training to advance to online multiplayer missions. Additionally, the Army is a team
effort. Consequently, the game reinforces this emphasis on teamwork in creating online teams and
through its application of realistic situations in which mission accomplishment and achieving the
game objective becomes a function of team effort.
Responsible Play
Also, just as is the case with the Army, the game has a firm grounding in values. For example, the
game establishes rules for engagement and imposes significant penalties for violations of these rules.
Players who violate these rules or who engage in activities such as team killings, can find themselves
in a virtual representation of the Army's jail at Fort Leavenworth or thrown out of the game. People
will also be able to play the role of a combat medic, and the team will be awarded points for completing
the mission with everyone still alive vs. other games that do not reward life. In addition, we've added
Parental Controls. Parents are able to alter and control certain aspects of gameplay in America's Army.
Parents can disable all the blood in the game, enable a language filter, disallow the ability to play
as an Advanced Marksman, and limit gameplay to only those missions which features the MILES laser-tag
type play.
