Listen up, maggot, because you’re only going to hear this once. You’ve
just enlisted into the United States Army and everyone knows exactly
what you’re thinking. You think you’re going to go out into the field,
gun down every crazed terrorist in sight, and come back home with a
medal in hand. Think again; that is not how the Army works.
You are expected to use standard-issue army equipment. You are expected
to work closely with your buddies and follow instructions. You are
expected to identify your targets before you fire. Most of all, you are
expected to not act like an invincible hero. There are no re-spawns,
extra lives or power-ups to find here; when you die in this game, you
are out of the round forever!
If you don’t think you can handle that, then go try one of the hundreds
of other shooters on the market. Combat in America’s Army 2.0, also
known as Special Forces, is as real as it gets!
Aiming For Realism
Forget everything you have learned in previous first-person shooters.
Don’t think for a second that your old tricks are going to work here;
there is no circle-strafing, rocket-jumping, spy-checking,
bunny-hopping, or any of that other nonsense. America’s Army: Special
Forces does not aim to give you constant slam-bang action. It’s here to
deliver the most authentic combat simulation that your computer can
handle.
-
Friendly fire is always on. Check your targets and take special care to avoid shooting your teammates.
-
Death is permanent. There is no re-spawning; if you die, you’re out until the next game begins.
-
It takes only a few hits for either you or your enemies to die. Be quick or be dead!
-
Fire from three positions: on two feet, while crouched, or while lying prone on your stomach.

-
Switch between multiple firing modes, including single, burst and automatic. Firing modes vary from weapon to weapon.

Guns can jam if treated irresponsibly. Don’t get caught with a disabled weapon in the open; fix it fast!
Train as if Your Life Depended On It!
The Army takes care of its own and won’t send any of its boys to battle
while they’re still green. Before you can officially begin your career
as a soldier, you must do what everyone who has come before you has
done: complete boot camp. You may be a completely clueless whelp when
you start out, but once you finish, you will be broken down and rebuilt
as a living weapon capable of fighting the way all proper soldiers in
America’s Army must fight.

M-67 hand grenade, the M-203 grenade launcher, the M-249 rifle, and
more.

-

Commence Operations
A soldier’s life is never easy. Just like in real life, America’s Army
2.0 will expect you to fight in all sorts of places and with any number
of situations that cannot be covered with training alone. All the while,
you must also do as the Army does and abide to its seven core values:
loyalty, duty, respect, selfless courage, honor, integrity and personal
courage. A soldier is nothing if he has none of these things.
-
Fight on over 60 enormous maps that take place in a huge variety of
settings, including remote villages, urban war zones, collapsed tunnels,
insurgent camps, and more.
-
Assume your choice of role for each individual game you take part in.
Play as a rifleman, marksman, grenadier, medic and so on.
-
Use cover, find strategic spots to attack from, and set up traps and ambushes with your team.

Make your life easier by using a number of useful tools like
binoculars to see what lies ahead, bipods to mount your guns on, night
vision goggles to see in the dark, and more.
-
Sometimes, you might be expected to make the ultimate sacrifice so
that the rest of your team can survive and succeed. Jump on a thrown
grenade to absorb the explosion and save your brothers-in arms!
-
Disorient enemies with flashbang and smoke grenades.
-
Follow the Rules of Engagement to the letter. Avoid civilian
casualties, abstain from damaging the surrounding infrastructure if you
can, and do not inflict bodily harm on your fellow soldiers.
Monitor Your Progress
Training does not end once you graduate from boot camp. In many ways,
it will continue on for the rest of your life. Your progress will be
recorded as you play America’s Army 2.0, giving you and all other
players an idea of how good a soldier you are and how far you have
progressed ever since you got started.
-
Accumulate Honor points as you complete training exercises and online
missions. Having a greater number of Honor points will open up new
servers and missions for you.
-
Upload your statistics online. See the total number of times you have
killed, fallen and accomplished goals over the course of your career.
At Ease, Soldier!

for free without any strings attached! Get out there and be all that you
can be!
