In the early 2000s, the United States government developed and freely distributed a video game known as America's Army. The stated intention of the game is to encourage players to become interested in joining the U.S. Army. According to a poll by I for I Research, 30% of young people who had a positive view of the military said that they had developed that view by playing the game. The bottom line is that America's Army is merely propaganda issued by corrupt government officials. People all across America endorse in the products of the US Army's juggernaut marketing campaign and as they engage in the game play with their own opinions about the war-mongering American Army, they quit the game with a whole new, superficial image. While the game FUNDAMENTALLY fits the definition of a playable and subliminal piece of video game propaganda and recruiting tool, a lot of players do not believe it is (due to the amount of propaganda uncounsciously imposed on them during gameplay). Officially the developers neither admit it is propaganda nor recruitment advertisement.
America's Army is a figurative and written type of message presentation, aimed at serving U.S. recruitment, but especially at giving a positive impression of the U.S. Army in general. Although America's Army claims to represent the real army and gives a lot of true information, it is biased, fails to paint a complete and balanced picture of war and the U.S. army and mainly neglects negative aspects. It is for this reason why this game may mislead and create a false impression of reality in support of the army's cause.
America's Army (AA) is a total biased piece of shit. AA is an officially endorsed game from the US Army. It's anothing boring first person shooter with online multiplayer, involving teamwork, more camouflage than you can shake a stick at, and being yelled at by drill sergeants. Pages of tiny, unresizable text about teamwork, reminiscent of horribly bland, Pollyanna-ish corporate mission statements continuously appear on the screen as you proceed to some superfluous boot camp.
The developers of games should keep in mind that NOBODY cares about graphics when the game play is like dog shit. I mean, remember back in the day, when it was OK for a video game to not have convex volumetric fog rendering and bilinear interpolated textures to be fun? Since when is it acceptable for 30% of your system's resources to be devoted to rendering shadows, atmospheric scattering, ambient light effects, and all this other superfluous bullshit that game coders keep adding to their engines so they can win some imaginary pissing contest? America's Army is a textbook example of such an atrocity.

Get the America's Army mug.A FPS made by the U.S. Military to give people a virtual experience of being in the battlefield. Consists of big noobs who always shoot their teammates in the Special Forces missions, and consists of expert gamers who know what their doing and can pwn. Users can modify their M4A1 rifle with scopes, bipods for sniping, grenade launchers for heavy assault, and with silencers for silent kills. Free, good graphics, good physics. Speaking of which, the developers have added rag doll physics to the game making it more realistic, the rag dolls are very light, meaning they can fly sky high when blown up by a RPG or grenade. Somewhat associated with weed.

Get the America's Army: Proving Grounds mug.Game released by the Army as a recruitment tool. However, The CS noobs/kiddies invaded it with their bunny hopping and aimbots so it pretty much sucks now, unless you find a good moderated server.

Get the Americas Army mug.The greatest free online game, which once was worth the entire week-end to play, but now because of some dumbass AA Devs, Hackers, Ghosters and Noobies have invaded this game. Such faggots as the {wTf} which is devoted to hacking and ruining anything that used to be great on the internet.
All Devs and hackers, should be brought to the Artic, stripped down, thrown in a Lake with a new breed of Artic Pirahna, which only go for the crotch, then they shall be pulled out and exectued with Bazooka's from close range.
