America's Army - Special Forces - Home Page
Does anybody here play this game? I've played it for years now but my video card can't handle it. I'm downloading it now on my bro's computer and praying it works. This is the most strategic FPS I've played. If you can make it through your first twenty hours of play, you'll find it enjoyable. The only problem is it's a lot to get used to. It's the most difficult game I've played. You'll find yourself making amateur moves that everyone has made; these mistakes are almost inevitable, and after you make them you have to sit there and wait for the next game to start which takes a few minutes.
The format is team vs team. To win you eliminate the opposition, and on each map there are different objectives. There are usually two or three things: Flags to capture, tanks to plant bombs on, computers to access- securing these things wins the match for your team, but most wins come from killing all your enemies.
The weapons are all very authentic. M16s, M204s (Scarface's "Little Friend"), SAWs, different types of Sniper Rifles, 'nades, flashbangs, smokebombs... There's a variety of maps ranging from urban communities in foreign locations to several different types of wilderness (snowlands, desert, marshland, rocky escarpment), an desert storm military compound, an Alaskan style compound, an industrial warehouse type place, an underground tunnel with trashed vehicles all around (the graphics are top notch)...there's also some new levels I haven't checked out, like The Hospital.
The game is free because it's made by the US Army, probably to encourage young ins to join up with the force...but that's just speculation. Either way, awesome, awesome game.
Anyway, my name on this game is IDRATHERHAVEAKNIFE. If you see me you better hope you're on my team, otherwise you dead mofo!
