Developed by the U.S. military with the avowed aim of recruiting players, FPS America's Army back in a third version to boost the Unreal Engine 3. Like previous versions, it is completely free. This does not mean it deserves a download .
Before looking at the game, start by immediately evacuating its sulfur. Yes, it is a propaganda tool of the U.S. military, whose purpose (clearly shown) to recruit soldiers. A concept that some will undoubtedly find stinking. However, our role is not to make judgments on moral thing, but only to evaluate its potential fun. Moreover, the majority of European players that we feel probably read little concerned by the lack of troops from the U.S. Army and despised the "Go Army", a true virtual brochure to the glory of the boys. If, despite warnings that follow, you decide to play America's Army 3, just be aware that when you hear an instructor "You do what I say when I say it!" Is the first level, no termination to the Full Metal Jacket.
Certainly aware of the controversial side of AA3, the U.S. military did not push the cap up to present a real conflict. It must be said that political correctness is back at this time, as evidenced by the recent withdrawal of Konami Project Six Days in Fallujah. Instead of flirting with a sensitive news, developers have opted for fiction. Here are the Odporzhia, a region that seems inspired imagination of the Balkans, with its fragmentation of opposing factions meet the names of RDO, NME, PKC ... In short, we are not going to elaborate on this wave background, which is just an excuse for various missions. These take the form of maps where two teams of players fight around a variety of goals: to extract a VIP Alley, destroying a helicopter Impact, activate a control panel in Pipeline ... 5 cards in total, lean, very lean.
To achieve these objectives, players must cooperate. 3 America's Army is a realistic game, so demanding, and if you do not progress together with your teammates, you get to a certain death, stands for many minutes to wait before the next round. Good organization is essential. The game has all the tools needed to communicate. As in most FPS tactics, leaders can assign orders to their squad. Remains then to apply them on the ground by moving properly. In "good" simulation, AA3 offers a wide range of movement: crawling, bending and even slide in a pipe will have no secrets for you. Level weapons, you will find the classics of the modern U.S. military, as the M16A4, the M249 heavy machine gun and M320 grenade launchers. As for shooting sensations, they are correctly reproduced, as long as we can judge ... The gameplay is satisfying, even if it does nothing really new.
Finally this is if you can play. Indeed, America's Army 3 is a nest bugs that otherwise exasperate the most patient of players. Upon account creation, the worries begin, then it continues trying unsuccessfully to join a multi party. The game is sealed by freezes, endless loads, crashes at rehearsals ... In short, it's not over, to put it politely. The worst is still the problem of progress in the various practices, which constitute the solo title. You may have accomplished all the goals at 100%, the next phase stubbornly refuses to unlock. It is quite encouraging, because until that damn learning launch grenades is not validated, you can not use multi! This means that part of AA3 quickly becomes frustrating. So yes, the game is free, but it does not excuse everything.
This lack of finishing is all the more damaging that the development team has been disbanded at the exit of the game! The U.S. army has declared it is beautiful still provide support, it's hard to believe. Will we land one day every content that has a nice "coming soon"? Nothing is less certain. And if it remains unchanged, AA3 will be a flop, free or not. It remains to mention the graphic aspect of the title, since it is one of the main novelties. The team opted for a course record cold and realistic, with no artistic pretension. America's Army is now using the Unreal Engine 3, but I must admit that it is not obvious (from the famous bug with textures that appear gradually). If the game is much more beautiful than its predecessor, it remains far from the current productions. For this reason and those mentioned above, we can also advise you that you fall back on those famous productions. It does not lack good tactical FPS on a PC: the Ghost Recon and Rainbow Six, SWAT 4, Red Orchestra or even mods like Insurgency ... Make your choice.
