'''America's Army''' (also known as '''AA''' or '''Army Game Project''') is a tactical [[multiplayer]] [[first-person shooter]] owned by the United States Government and released as a global public relations initiative to help with U.S. Army recruitment.


'''America's Army: Special Forces''' is a guide by and for players of the computer game ''America's Army''. For this reason its tone and point of view are not detached and the guide does not make a clear distinction between fact and fiction, lacks references and sources and may be confusing for readers unfamiliar with the game.
The PC version 1.0, subtitled ''Recon'', was first released on July 4 [[2002]]. Since then, there have been over 20 updated versions released, the most recent being AA:SF (Overmatch) v2.8.3.1. It is financed by the U.S. Government and distributed for free. It was originally developed by the MOVES Institute at the Naval Postgraduate School and continues to use the Unreal Engine.

America's Army lacks a main [[single player]] mode, but includes some training scenarios to help the player get used to the various features available in the game and so-called "[[co-op]]" (co-operative) games where players fight a group of NPCs. These are rather poorly programmed, and rely on numbers to try to make co-op games a challenge.

America's Army (also known as AA or Army Game Project) is a tactical multiplayer first-person shooter owned by the United States Government and released as a global public relations initiative to help with U.S. Army recruitment.

The PC version 1.0, subtitled Recon, was first released on July 4 2002. Since then, there have been over 20 updated versions released, the most recent being AA:SF (Overmatch) v2.8.3.1. It is financed by the U.S. Government and distributed for free. It was originally developed by the MOVES Institute at the Naval Postgraduate School and continues to use the Unreal Engine.

America's Army: Rise of a Soldier is the title for the Xbox version that was developed by the U.S. Army, Ubisoft and Secret Level. A mobile phone version, published by Gameloft, is also available. An arcade version using light guns is also being developed.

America's Army lacks a main single player mode, but includes some training scenarios to help the player get used to the various features available in the game and so-called "co-op" (co-operative) games where players fight a group of NPCs. These are rather poorly programmed, and rely on numbers to try to make co-op games a challenge.
