    Since 2002 those registered players have logged over 3 BILLION player rounds, nearly 2 million player hours, and over 1100 Fan Sites have registered for our community listing. From the United States to New Zealand, Greenland to Singapore, Latvia to Chile, 38 different countries around the world host almost 1200 Honor servers.

     

    The staff and developers of America’s Army would like to thank its players, community websites and all its partners for their continued support. HOOAH!

    P.S. this was off the AA website. I find it real interesting.

     

    Also read this, It will give you an idea of what the game is like. If you have never played it, its a good game to play. Trust me.

     

     

    In July of 2002, the Army turned on the servers for the America's Army game and watched as thousands of gamers rushed to download our America's Army: Operations RECON version. Since then more than 5.5 million players have registered to join the America's Army experience. These players have participated in over 94 million hours of online play exploring Soldiering as members of elite U.S. Army units. These devoted fans catapulted America's Army into the top five online action games at its launch and have kept America's Army at the top of the charts ever since .

     

    The development of the game has been an incredible journey for everyone involved -- from the project sponsors in the Pentagon; to the staff here at West Point who run the game; to our Soldiers who have been instrumental in making sure the America's Army game realistically depicts their world; to our developers who get hands on with the Army's technology and weapons. Though the America's Army teams are spread across the country, they are united in our goal of creating a virtual portal into the Army and to providing a first hand look at what it is like to be a Soldier.

     

    The game has exceeded all expectations in placing Soldiering front and center within popular culture and showcasing the roles training, teamwork and technology play in the Army. Over the past few years, in eighteen updates and new game versions, we have opened up the world of Soldiering to players and provided them with a soup to nuts virtual experience within which to explore entry level and advanced training as well as Soldiering in small units. We have virtually taken our players through boot camp, through Ranger and Airborne training, and even introduced them to the Army's "Quiet Professionals", the elite Special Forces. Through America's Army, players have learned about rules of engagement (ROE), lifesaving, laws of war and Army Values, the set of noble values that are the foundation of the world's premier land force. In the game, successful completion of our unique ABC's of Lifesaving scenarios qualifies players to assume the role of a medic. In real life, this medic training provides fundamental first responder skills. In at least one case we know of, an America's Army veteran called upon these skills to save the life of his brother.

     

    The Army and its developers have won more than 15 awards and accommodations for America's Army. However, what has brought the team the most satisfaction is hearing from the fans and Soldiers who play it. The America's Army fans are incredibly supportive of our efforts, from setting up their own servers, to active participation in our forums, interacting with our developers and establishing more than 900 fan sites around the world. We would like to give our heartfelt thanks to these players and our promise that we will continue to provide them with the best and most realistic virtual Soldier experience.

     

    U.S. Army Soldiers have written and called us from around the world to tell us about their America's Army game experiences. They speak of the game's realism and attention to detail, noting how accurately the game's training environments mirror the training ranges from Fort Benning to Fort Jackson down to the placement of the trees to the layout of the obstacle course. Numerous Soldiers have told us how they are able to share their Army experiences with fellow gamers. These Soldiers proudly display their Army star icon in the game, and enjoy answering other players' questions about Soldiering. Soldiers who play America's Army speak of the support and encouragement they have received from America's Army fans worldwide. On behalf of the America's Army game project, we would like to thank these fans for supporting our Soldiers as they fight for freedom and liberty around the world.

     

    Today we are working on new technologies, platforms and themes to broaden and deepen the America's Army experiences. We will continue to expand the careers covered in the game while adding technological enhancements to intensify the immersive Soldier experience the game affords. As the game grows, it will expand in richness and detail in terms of the number of resources players can bring to bear in virtual training and operational missions. When appropriate we will work with our government and future applications groups to incorporate new military technologies into the game to give players a look at the current and future armaments used by our Soldiers. Just as the Army is a dynamic organization, the game will continue to be a dynamic platform for learning about the Army and Soldiering.

     

    Players can also look forward to the America's Army Real Hero program where they can learn about the backgrounds and accomplishments of actual Soldiers who have rendered distinguished service in the Global War on Terrorism. This program will incorporate these Soldiers' likeness and background into action figures, the game, and on our https://www.americasarmy.com/ and http://www.goarmy.com/ websites.

     

    In summary, thanks for your support of the game over the three years since its release on July 4th, 2002. The game has grown into an international phenomenon, and will continue to grow on new platforms including Xbox, PS2, and cell phones. On behalf of the U.S. Army, the members of the Army Game Project staff look forward to sharing new virtual Soldier experiences with you over the coming years. Have a wonderful and safe July 4th. God bless America.

  3. Yea across the street we have a couple of neighbors that like to broadcast there SSID for everyone in the world to see. My family chooses to not broadcast it (which I think everyone should do) because it is less susceptable to hackers. Also If you own a network I suggest that you secure it very well because of from past experience, people think its ok to steal other users internet.Grenade


  4. Lately I have been testing out forums anywhere from PHPbb, SMF to E-Blah. All of them sound great but I don't know which one will hold up the longest overall with like security and stuff. Also which one do you think offers the best themes. The themes I am looking for are game related and are not just plain but have maybe some flash that is embedded in them. Any suggestions would be great.Grenade


  5. I vote woodsball, your team can act more strategic and the team with more brains is usually comes out with the win. HAHA my friends got pinned up by some police members the other day when they were playing in the local forest. The police forced were equiped with AR-15's and scared the crap out of them.Grenade
