America’s Army Reaches 8 Million Players

January 24th, 2007 Posted in Business, MMO, Multiplayer, Online, PC, Simulation

aa.jpgUS Army’s propaganda-filled and free online multiplayer shooter America’s Army has surpassed 8 million registered users, that’s 150,000 a month since its launch back in 2002. According to a press release, players from 60 countries have logged more than 3 billion game sessions and 200 million player hours. However, they forgot to mention how many kids they managed to recruit from the game.

And how come we don’t hear from Jack Thompson about this game? After all, America’s Army is probably the best “murder simulator” out there. And it’s free. If kids managed to get hold of it they might just go on a real killing spree. Or maybe just after people who look Arab.

    I actually wondered why Jack T never spoke of AA. He’s actively been in battle with counter-strike.

    Actually it’s a pretty decent online action/FPS game. I still play it from time to time. But Jack T couldn’t shoot a beer can of a monkey’s arss at 5 feet in CS. Hey? Maybe that’s what’s got so constipated with this Ultra Christian Anti-Violence Hypocritical position! Christians are OK, but when they start trying to imposes their lopsided view of everything having to be done their way, they always lose in the end, anyway. HaHa Jack Thompson your not a much better shooter than our VP are you?

    I didnt like it, way too boring. But I dont like coh too for that matter.

    But 8 million isnt really hard for a free multiplayer shoot em up. Like ET or CS, a registered user means little (since it’s peak was years ago)

    Jack tompson can’t attack the military you daft! That’s the most profitable business sector in America (followed closely by prison stock:P)

    If Mr. Thompson said anything bad against a game the government uses and supports it would probably be seen as an act of treason…

    Hopefully he does then.
