  • Summary: The multiplayer mode is a key feature of America’s Army: True Soldiers with eight maps developed by Red Storm Entertainment and full Xbox LIVE online gaming service Clan support, so teams will be able to quickly jump online and compete. Players immerse themselves within the true infantry expxperience of a modern Soldier. As a Soldier in single-player mode, advance through your career and take on roles such as Rifleman, Grenadier, Automatic Rifleman and Sniper. Red Storm and the Army have worked together to make sure that the America’s Army: True Soldiers gameplay experience is an authentic Army experience. The America’s Army: True Soldiers game accurately portrays the values that guide Soldiers in the U.S. Army, by specifically incorporating gameplay based on mission accomplishment, teamwork, leadership, rules of engagement and respect for life and property. Just like in real combat, honor and respect must be earned, and in the game, the Play-Lead-Recruit feature allows players to earn respect as they move up through the ranks and become true leaders. Teammates can award points to other team members who play honorably and jump in when the mission is on the line. As the most realistic U.S. Army experience on a console, America’s Army: True Soldiers features high-tech equipment, including a Blue Force Tracker that improves recognition of targets while increasing information to the player. Additional Intel will be gathered by the Raven UAV and displayed on their Blue Force Tracker. AI teammates can share Intel via in-game voice-over. [Ubisoft] Expand

  1. The game that began as a free PC download has made its way to retail shelves with this Xbox 360 iteration, but it looks as if most of the fun was lost in transit.
  2. In total, the whole Basic Training experience lives up to the 'basic' in the title, and will take you an hour to complete.
  3. The best area of the game is the online multiplayer, but even that pales in comparison to other possibilities like Call of Duty 4 or Halo 3.
  4. It's simply too tedious to work as either a game or as propaganda. [Holiday 2007, p.78]

    The game has a few issues, but not nearly enough to keep me from playing it. It is a great tactical FPS if you get into a room with the right people, and work as a team. Expand

    Apparently these reviewers didn't get enough kickbacks to actually spend time playing the game.
    It's not perfect, but for those wi
    th the attention span to play realistic games, it's the best on the 360 and very good.
    No idea why these same places would get the GRAW games 9's, and rate this game so low, when it's based on GRAW. Makes you wonder about their credibility.
    OGR fans would love this game, as it's a return to more realistic gaming and teamwork, unlike most shooters out there.

    Dont let these 4's and above fool you. you can't even kill people. they lie their for a minute until a teammate helps them. and THEN they die if no one comes... you can walk up to them while they lay on the ground and shoot them in the head and nothing happens, they still lay there, waiting for help... stupid.
