America's Army Recon Demo

[Jul 03, 2002, 8:39 pm ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

A bit earlier than anticipated, NVIDIA is the first site to offer downloads of the Recon demo of America's Army: Operations, the free first-person shooter game that was developed by the U.S. Army using the Unreal engine. The Recon demo requires a whopping 203.9 MB download, and offers "four single player basic training missions including a rifle range, obstacle course and weapons course," as well as "six multiplayer missions including a homeland defense operation, urban training, freeing prisoners, and protecting against an act of ecological terrorism." Word from HomeLan Fed is that the login authorization and multiplayer servers are not due to be launched until the original release time of 3:00 AM EDT (midnight PDT) though. Further mirrors can be expected on the official site by that time as well. Update: Mirrors are already online at FilePlanet (registration required) and 3D Gamers.

"Oh, and America's Army is propaganda. They aren't doing this out of the kindness of their hearts. What better way to up recruitment than to give teenagers a free game with lots of shiny weapons and bearded middle-eastern terrorists to kill? It's a pretty brilliant move on the Army's part. They've finally figured out that calling people up and bothering them after they get out of high school isn't working. " No shit, sherlock. If you're smart enough to realize this, you are smart enough not to be influenced by it, so shut up and play the game. . . or not, its entirely up to you. Don't you think everyone knows this? Does it matter? Not really. Its still a professionally developed game . . . and its fun . . . that's a lot more that you can say about other game out there. This comment was edited on Jul 4, 17:26.
