==History==

In [[1999]], [[Lieutenant Colonel]] E. Casey Wardynski, a professor at the [[United States Military Academy|U.S Military Academy]] at [[West Point, New York|West Point]] decided to tell the Deputy Chief of Staff for Personnel and the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army for Military [[Manpower]] about his idea for an online computer game. His basic idea eventually became '''America's Army'''. In the same year less people were joining the army.[http://www.cnn.com/US/9909/30/army.recruitment/#1]. [[United States Congress|Congress]] decided to use "aggressive, innovative experiments" including '''America's Army''' to get more people to join the Army.

The first release was [[July 4]], [[2002]], and other changes (called patches) were added. On [[November 6]], [[2003]], version 2.0 of ''America's Army: Special Forces'' was made. (Go [[America's Army#Versions|here]] for more information about the different version). The Army is spending about [[United States dollar|USD]]$3 million a year to make more versions of the game.

Another AA version called ''America's Army: Rise of a Soldier'' is available on [[Playstation 2]] and [[Xbox]]. This version was developed by [[UbiSoft]]. [http://games.teamxbox.com/xbox/873/Americas-Army/]

Since ''America's Army'' was created, people have complained about its purpose. People have argued about the Army using its money to make a game. They are also worried about how this game will change people's lives.

The players on each team see themselves as American soldiers with American weapons, such as the ''[[M16A2]]''. Their opponents look like non-uniformed people with [[Eastern bloc]] weapons, like the ''[[AK-47]]'' (the counterpart of the ''M16A2'' in the game). In training maps the only distinguishing features are the players' [[uniform]]s. The development team did this to make the game realistic for players on both sides. They allowed everyone to play on the side of the American forces. They also avoided the problem of asking players to kill American soldiers.

On the Special Forces maps, players can also play as non-uniformed people with [[Eastern bloc]] weapons (known as [[Indigenous]] forces ("IF") in the game), but be on the same team as regular army forces.

This is confusing to many players because when they pick up an enemy weapon, it works differently than the US version. An AK-47 removed from a fallen opponent is fully automatic, more powerful, but less accurate than his M16. But when his opponent had it, to him it ''was'' an M16. The important thing is that each weapon behaves as the owner sees it. It transforms when it is picked up. If people pay a lot of attention might notice that the enemies weapons behave [[wikt:wrong|wrong]], but it is hard to notice.

Every round starts with both teams [[Spawning (computer gaming)|spawning]] at the same time. Players can join the other team, but cannot play as the OPFOR. Equipment is not bought but selected through choosing a class [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/America's_Army#Classes_and_its_weaponry].

===Goals and scoring system===

===Goals and scoring system===

The goal of the game is to complete the objectives, kill the enemy team. For example, one objective could be to kill the ''[[V.I.P.]]'', who is trying to survive and escape. If a player joined the other team, he would have to protect the same V.I.P. The round is over if a team wins0, or if the time limit is reached. For a listing of missions go[[America's Army#Missions and maps|here]].

The game remembers how many people each player has killed, how many times each team has won, how many times each player has been killed, and how well the player is completing the objectives. The game then distributes score which calculates the player's "Honor" level.

Every time a player is killed, every time he fails to protect an objective which he is assigned to defend, and especially every killing of fellow teammates or his [[wikt:ally|allies]] caused by [[friendly fire]] is called a violation of the ''ROE'' ([[Rules of engagement]]) in the game and has an extremely negative effect on his score and "Honor". If too many points are lost in a round, the player is put in "jail" and kicked out of the server. As of February 2005 95.2% of AA players had 0-20 HONOR points, 3.3% had 20-40 points, 1% had 40-60, and .4% had 61-80 points.

Every healing of injured teammates and every killing of opponents increases a players score and "Honor". Completing the game's missions affects a player's score in a good way and his "Honor" points as well. The score is saved in the player's account that was being used. Some servers only allow players with certain Honor levels to join. The most common is to not let anyone with less than 10 Honor in because this is the base level that everyone starts with. Some also do not let players with too much Honor in. The developers say that "Honor" is based on the values of the Army: "[[Loyalty]], [[Duty]], [[:wikt:respect|Respect]], Selfless Service, Honor, [[Integrity]] and Personal [[Courage]] or [[Leadership]]". Its main purpose in the game is stop "team-killing", which is a problem in a lot of online first-person shooters (see [[team killer]]).

Every [[firearm]] in the game has either [[iron sight]]s or a [[telescopic sight]] (for [[Sniper#Sniper rifles|sniper rifles]]); while using the sights, a zoom effect enlarges objects in view. The iron sights enlarge to a small degree, the telescopic sights to large one. Until he stops zooming, the player's moving speed is additionally decreased.

In the first few versions, weapons could only hurt players and glass. For example, a grenade could not destroy a television but a gun could put a bullet hole in the screen. Compared to most games, the grenades and are more deadly. They tried to make the blast radius of grenades more like real life than it usually is in other games. Getting hurt by weapons always leads to some bleeding, which causes a player's health gauge to go down over time. Injuries make players slower, they also make it harder for the player to shoot where they are aiming. Sometimes, if the player does not get help from a medic, they will die.

In the newer versions of the game players can make changes to their weapons. For example, the [[M4 Carbine]] can be change in different ways and let the soldier have features that work better on a certain map. For example, on a large map a scope and a bi-pod might be picked, but in a city a player might choose only iron sights and a [[M203 grenade launcher]].
