Starting June 17th, you’ll be able to play the full version of America’s Army 3 on Steam. Downloading it with Steam gives you access to the Steam Cloud, and additional features like roaming config profiles, achievements, and auto-updating.
America’s Army 3 is an all-around update to the now venerable franchise of free US Army recruitment-tool-turned-video-game experience. Using actual Army tactics, terminology, techniques, equipment, and culture the idea is that by teaching young men and women how awesome it is to be a soldier, they’ll want to run out to their local recruiter and sign up for duty.
Politics and propoganda aside, the level of detail that goes into making this the most realistic infantry trainer available is impressive. Every aspect, from weapon reloading to the sounds of gear has been checked and rechecked by actual officers and soldiers. If you’re interested in playing it strictly as a game for the sake of realistic combat, you’d be hard pressed to find a more authentic experience, especially considering the price of “free”.
