    What’s funny is I know someone with like, 2000 hours in that game. And it just happened to be his favorite fps, nothing to do with the army propaganda.

      It’s well balanced, has great level design, and the game mood is serious enough that the scenarios and matches are taken serious too. It’s rare to have someone run in guns blazing for more than a couple matches. Overall, it has a fun gameplay loop that takes itself seriously without being over the top. They know it’s a recruiting tool, so it has to be good enough that folks want to play.

      It’s honestly a solid lane shooter FPS, but it falls flat of the Battlefield killer it could have been. Enough realism and no respawns to make you treat it seriously, but it’s also not ArmA levels of “welp, time to respawn and drive/walk to the objective for 15 minutes”

        And the training consisted of sitting in a classroom, then taking a paper test and scoring well enough, if not more. I loved AA 2
