America's Army is a realistic computer game providing civilians with an inside perspective and a virtual role in today's premiere land force, the U.S. Army. America's Army players will experience soldiering in a state-of-the-art new manner. The America's Army game blends two vivid simulations: Soldiers, a role-playing portion in which players navigate life's challenges to achieve goals, and a first-person action game, called Operations.

America’s Army registered players have logged over 3 billion player rounds and nearly 200 million player hours. Over 1,100 fan sites have registered to be listed on the game community website. From the United States to New Zealand, Greenland to Singapore, Latvia to Chile, 38 different countries around the world host almost 1,200 Honor servers. These honor servers track honor points that form the basis of America’s Army unique scoring and rewards system.

Since its debut, the America’s Army game has been updated 23 times to feature new technology, new missions and new Army military occupational specialties that players can explore. The most recent updates are part of the America’s Army: Special Forces series which focuses upon the central role Special Forces play in the Global War on Terrorism and includes America’s Army: Special Forces (Special Forces Assessment and Selection) released November 2003; America’s Army: Special Forces (Q Course) released May 2005; and America’s Army: Special Forces (Overmatch) (released September 2006).

In December, the Army released America's Army: Special Forces (Coalition) which introduced the America’s Army Mission Editor. The Mission Editor enables America's Army players to modify existing levels and/or create new levels using any of the existing art, sound, particle effects and gameplay assets created by the development team. With this release, players are able to create missions to give back to the community they love, take their favorite map and enhanced it to match the way they’ve always wanted to play it, and highlight their map building expertise and leadership in the America’s Army community to a global audience.

The staff and developers of America’s Army would like to thank its players, community members and all its partners for their continued support. HOOAH!
