Hmm, an interactive recruiting poster, very interesting.

This is my main problem with the world, people who will play this, and be taken in. There are people at school who are now wanting to join the services, just so they can go to the middle east and kill! It is enough to make me sick.

well, i don't see it as a recruitment poster, i knbow it his, but i try to ignore it. it's porpaganda at it's best, but i just see it as a nice free online game where i can shoot my friends (or see them kill themselfs with grenades).

There are dozens of free online games, and even more multiplayer demos to try! I had days of fun at school playing the AoE demo over the school LAN, without submitting to American imperialist propaganda.

I couldn't care less about any propaganda; how good is this as a game?

Join me comrads!  We will create a simulation for the peaceful workers & pesents of a new Soviet Union!  We will bury the capitalist pigs under their own filth and paint the entire internet a wonderful shade of commie red!;7
If happiness is a warm gun and love is a battlefield, why should we give peace a chance?

The Soviet Union was not actually a communist state. Stalin turned it into a Fascist dictatorship, little different from Hitler's Germany. Lenin and Trotsky had the right idea, but Stalin buggered it up.

As far as games go, there are better, there are worse. If you're into Command and Conquer, it might appeal to you, but it has little to yield in terms of actual strategy. It's another one of those games that's more properly a shooter at heart, only instead of one tough guy blowing lots of **** up there's lots of little guys blowing lots more **** up. It's a bit better than most of the pop RTSes (basically, Westwood and Blizzard's stuff), but on the real strat gaming boards we had hours of fun ragging on how crap it was.

Okay... I was actually hoping for some help before stryke turned it political. How long does a round usually last?

A single round of AA will have a 10 minute time limit most of the time, but as in a lot of games, expect it to be too short for you:D

As for the people complaining about it being propaganda, I say "So What?" A free game is a free game, and a game that gets this much attention to by the DEVs is one that I'll keep playing. Remember, don't blame the Army, blame the Government if you absolutely have to blame at all.

Oh, God, Stryke, you guys sound just like the media when it was going on about how bad FPS's were for kids, and would make them go on rampages!


I ask you: When you feel this game, then die 100 times, then get 2 kills, do you feel absolutely compelled to go out and join the army? If you do, you should get away from your PC more.


EDIT: Anyways, the game is very good, and inspires lots of teamwork when on a good server with good ppl on it.

Geez, you people are sad. Did I say anything about propoganda? Did I say anything about using games as a marketing medium? No. I made a conspiracy-theory joke, that tangentially involved the government. Hence, logic dictates I must be trying to tell people that the game is going to brainwash you- yeah, that's right. That's not at all just being desperate to find an "issue" to pick a fight over.

Get a bleeding life.

Oh, don't use the microwave. Or the stove or garbage disposal. Definitely not the garbage disposal.

Oh, and you'll have to go on a long trip. Go down to the nearest subway station, get on, and say the words "Underground Railroad" to the operator. She's one of ours, she'll help you out.


This is not a joke.



...


I don't know what to say to that, UT. That's pretty hard to top. What say we lay off the X-Files and Deus Ex for a bit?
