America’s Army 2.8.4

America’s Army is relatively authentic in terms of visual and acoustic representation of combat, especially pertaining to its depictions

of firearm usage and mechanics, but its critics have alleged that it fails to convey wartime conditions as accurately as it claims.

America’s Army is the first computer video game to make recruitment an explicit goal and the first well-known overt use of

computer gaming for political aims. The game is used as a playable recruiting tool and critics have charged the game serves as a

propaganda device. America’s Army was developed by the U.S. Army itself. The latest version is 2.8.4 which was released on

October 9, 2008, with new features and bug fixes.

It is pointed out that its recruiting aspect bears resemblance to games in both the movie The Last Starfighter and to the novel

Ender’s Game, a popular science fiction story of the 80s.

America’s Army has over 9 million registered accounts as of April, 2008, with over 5 million having completed the “basic training”

part of the game. With several thousand players online at any one time between 2002 and 2007, it ranks in the top 10 FPS

(first-person shooter) games played online during the period, as tracked by GameSpy. It was similar in performance to Wolfenstein:

Enemy Territory or Medal of Honor, also in the top ten, for much of that time period.
