Found some more information regarding the game....Looks like its costing the tax payers about $7 million for this game.

http://money.cnn.com/2002/05/31/comment ... /index.htm

"That's not as expensive as it sounds. Publishers say the average PC game typically costs between $2 million and $6 million dollars and "America's Army" will launch with two titles - "Soldiers", a role-playing game that lets you live boot camp life, and "Operations," a multi-player first-person shooter that, developers say, accurately reflects rules of engagement and squad teamwork.

You gotta love modern recruitment! Whatever happened to the good old days when the recruiter would just lie to you?

I rather have a game than a lying recruiter

http://americasarmy.com/ops/files/files.php says you can download the operations portion on the 4th of July, and https://get.thearmygame.com/ says you can get the other half on the 4th as well. They had originally said early August about a month ago, but the 4th seems more appropriate.

I assume they will send it out the same day, but they just might send it a little early so it could be at your house on the 4th. Happy gaming!

I play america's army all the time, it's a pretty cool game, I don't know how recruitment the army will get out of it, but alot of people play it. You can download it for free. There are alot of different maps to try. It's pretty challenging and alot of fun. It's been around for a couple of years now.
