America's Army 3 is a great game but it takes lots of skill. This game is not for rookies. It is a pretty hard game. This game has army training and multiplayer. The only thing bad about it is this program with it called PunkBuster. Punkbuster has a lot of troubles when you join a server it leaves the server automatically. The training in the game includes a obstacle course, Rifle Training, Combat Lifesaving, and a MOUT course that is very hard. The classes in the game are basic rifle man, support, grenadier, and fire team leader. I was disappointed that there was only 4 types of guns you can use. Overall the game is very good except for PunkBuster the very bad program.

  If they get their act together, this has the potential to be one of the best games ever. However, it's not there yet.

  The game looks sharp, and it's amazingly realistic while being fun. However, so far, there are just too many bugs and too much lag for it to amount to much. If they could just fix the problems and stop the lag, it ... Read Full Review

  I'm a great fan of tactical-military games. Be it the adrenaline pumped CQB of S.W.A.T. or the more tactical yet tense approach on R6, or even the stealthy take on combat from Splinter Cell, if it's tactical, I've played... Read Full Review
