America's Army Client For Linux Released

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. One thing you forgot mention. by Dolemite_the_Wiz · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Originally this game was completely devoid of any cheat detection. Punkbuster has stepped up to tackle this but the results of this effort remain to be seen as one of the items that defines a good game is addressing exploits ASAP.

  2. Dunno, this game rubs me the wrong way by Sevn · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I read about it, it sounded cool. I downloaded it.
    Installed it. And it wouldn't let me play unless
    I registered for "boot camp" online. Fuhuck that.
    I did the real thing. I don't want to relive it in
    a game. I'd also rather not have to give over
    personal information just to play a war simulator.
    I'll stick with InstaUnlagged, OSP, and any other
    railgun mods for q3 for now, until such time as
    Doom 3 and halflife2 make an appearance.
