Posted by simoniker on from the standalone-sir-yes-sir dept.

nexex writes "You can now download America's Army for Linux as a stand-alone installer. Previously it was only available as a full ISO on a Gentoo LiveCD." The official America's Army site has more info on this Army-sponsored FPS title, first released about a year ago for the PC, which "..provides civilians with an inside perspective and a virtual role in today's premier land force: the U.S. Army."

  1. great game, shame about the jerks by Traderdot · · Score: 3, Informative
    i played this game when it first came out. it's amazing that such a game could be free. of course, it serves as propaganda/recruitment tool and supported by the taxpayer's dollar but still it was really fun.

    as with most online games, a variety of problems developed. cheats and just plain jerks, team killers, "rambo" types ruined the experience. they also had a bunch of network issues. i haven't played for months now. hopefully they've fixed those things.
