Inside The Game

Scoring  XP points and star ratings determine “score”. Can be collected by:  Kills  Responding to team calls for functional operations  Working towards objective  Higher XP and more stars have advantages  Better weapons  Faster reload for weapons and for functional operations  More hit-points  Other items: binoculars – energy shot – lethal shot

Game Review - 1  Die, get re-spawned almost immediately (30 sec. max - no long delays). In “America’s Army” you must wait for the remainder of the map!  Must respond to team calls to functional operations to be able to accomplish objective. Must cooperate and communicate with team to win. Many other FPS games you can work towards objective alone  XP is not stored indefinitely. Good for new players, but not so good for experts  Because player always starts with zero XP and no stars, game is not so much fun until some stars are collected  Compared to other games, that’s ok. In many other online games player has no chance of advancing because others are on it 24/7 collecting points!

Game Review - 2  Some weapons can be used extensively making the game unplayable. Some servers end up banning those weapons which is not fun  Downloads may take a long time. Each server has its own download location and may have to download the same previously downloaded components  Mods can be annoying and may change the UI without notice

Summary  Excellent first person shooter game  Not hard to collect stars and get the advantages  Definitely worth playing
