In America's Army: Special Forces, players attempt to earn Green Beret status by completing individual and collective training missions drawn from the Special Forces Assignment and Selection (SFAS) process. Players who complete the SFAS process have the opportunity to take on elite Special Forces roles and are qualified to play in multiplayer missions with units ranging from the elite 82d Airborne Division to the 75th Ranger Regiment.
The game features a number of training missions to get you familiar with the controls as well as learning the roles and weapons of a Special Forces soldier. Roles include Weapons Specialist (18B), Intelligence (18F), Engineer (18C), Communications (18E) and Combat Medic (18D). Other game features include:
Challenging Green Beret training — Complete training missions drawn from the SFAS process at Fort Bragg. Successfully complete SFAS and advance to Special Forces Qualification Course (Q-Course) missions to explore new Special Forces roles.
Intense Special Forces action — Intense Special Forces action — Experience multiplayer missions in simulated combat combat environments. Take part in missions that span the capabilities of a Special Forces detachment, including unconventional warfare, direct action, surveillance and reconnaissance and Combat Search and Rescue.
Detailed Special Forces equipment and military hardware — Building on the equipment available in America’s Army: Operations, America’s Army: Special Forces adds the M4 Carbine featuring the Picatinny rail mod system for attaching laser-aiming devices and sighting systems; the MP5SD6 Remington 870 shotgun for forced entry; the AT4, a shoulder-fired anti-tank rocket and the BDM, a shoulder-fired bunker demolition munition.
Accurate Soldier behavior — Players are bound by the laws of land warfare, Army values (honor, duty and integrity) and realistic rules of engagement as they navigate challenges in teamwork-based multiplayer force vs. force operations. Mission accomplishment standings are evaluated based on team effort and adherence to a set of values and norms of conduct.
Awesome and stunning, February 29, 2008 Reviewer: Slumber from NJ, USA
45 of 48 people found this review helpful The best game I ever played. Includes real- life like training, and offers a wide range of weapons. This range includes heavy rocket launchers, subs and assault rifles, also some sniper rifles, grenades charges,etc. Although the download is large, it's well worth it. There are also a lot of multiplayer missions, with excellent graphics.
The soldiers are very realistic. To be able to deploy as a medic, you need to pass the specific training before. Also, it's not just a shout you give that person, it's more. You have to treat them based on the intensity of their wound, and you must be able to judge this. The fact that it's freeware makes it even better :)

A game you don't wanna miss out on, September 29, 2007 Reviewer: Boniface Greege from Australia
141 of 152 people found this review helpful This Game is a game that you CAN'T miss. Do NOT hessitate in downloading it - it is totally worth it! Its high graphics, awesome gameplay and realistic enviroments and weapons make this game one very, very special game. The game amazed me so much by the radical features and I enjoyed playing through to the end (not like there's going to be an end to this game). A game like this is extremely hard to find that is so detailed and perfect - and the US armed forces even took the pleasure in making it for us! This game over-rides alot of other games that are fairly good. America's Army is fantastic to play and it would be extremely hard to find something to perfect! America's Army is one game everybody wouldn't want to miss out on. It is definately worth downloading and I think that it is a great game for people ranged from around 5 to 50! Trust me, this game is worth it.

5tars to the American Army - a career oriented game, August 07, 2007 Reviewer: Stephen Redcox from Minneapolis, Minnesotta
106 of 170 people found this review helpful It's a fantastic well designed game. The "US armed forces" have themselves taken the trouble of creating this game. It's intent at conception was to inspire the young at joining the US armed forces and they've done a splendid job. It gives a true picture of the tough training, the rookie assignments to begin with and the high action packed combat simulations as u go up. Any other game I've played doesn't match to this, not Half life, not Halo, not even Call of Duty. I've heard a lot of non-American's now, keen on migrating to the US, just to get into the US Armed forces. The US armed forces will have to consider careers for Non-Americans now. For all those young American citizens out there, passionate about their country's global presence in peace-keeping on this planet, this game is worth the shot and I hope you will consider a career in the US armed forces after playing this game. It's constantly updated and new patches and plug-ins are added regularly.Just hit the download button.
