True Soldiers on Your Xbox 360
Not content with fueling taxpayer’s money into videogames, America’s Army has also developed True Soldiers, an FPS exclusive for the Xbox 360, which, unlike its PC counterpart, costs $59.99.
The game takes players through eight multiplayer maps developed by Red Storm Entertainment that includes clan support, various modes and more. There is also a single-player mode for loners with no friends. And yes, the game has the “authentic Army experience” without the physical abuse, real death at every corner, and being hated by (almost) everyone in the world bits. More on the game below:
The America’s Army: True Soldiers game accurately portrays the values that guide U.S. Army Soldiers by specifically incorporating gameplay based on mission accomplishment, teamwork, leadership, rules of engagement and respect for life and property. Just like in real combat, honor and respect must be earned, and in the game, the Play-Lead-Recruit feature allows players to earn respect as they move up through the ranks and become true leaders.
Teammates can award honor points to other team members who play honorably and jump in when the mission is on the line. As players accumulate honor points, they earn America’s Army reward coins that can be redeemed for prizes in the America’s Army “Live the Experience” contest that offers unique prizes such as becoming a Golden Knight, a game developer, or a Soldier for a day (http://truesoldiers.americasarmy.com)
America’s Army: True Soldiers is going to be a huge multiplayer hit on Xbox LIVE and a compelling feature is how the single-player experience integrates seamlessly into the multiplayer aspect of the game. Single-player accomplishments and skills earned in categories such as Valor, Marksmanship, Stealth and Conditioning, will be upgradeable and then immediately utilized on Xbox LIVE to dominate online.
As the most realistic U.S. Army experience on a console, America’s Army: True Soldiers will feature high-tech equipment, including a Blue Force Tracker that improves recognition of targets while increasing information to the player. Additional Intel will be gathered by the Raven UAV and displayed on their Blue Force Tracker. AI teammates can share Intel via in-game voice-over.
