As promised today on Independence Day, exactly 5 years after the release of the first version of the game, America's Army launches it's new website along with some exclusive desktop wallpapers of the upcoming 3.0 version!

Go to www.americasarmy.com to take a look at the new website design and read more about America's Army 3.0. Also don't forget to check out the wallpapers made by the Developers:

Some intersting AA3.0 facts:

• The AA3 platform will be an entirely new game, built from the ground up using Epic Game’s Unreal Engine 3. This means we’re creating everything from scratch - all new assets, all new missions, all new sounds, and all new weapons.
  
• Players will be creating a new player account for AA3; however, we’re pursuing ways to tie in your original AA2 account/character, such as giving special AA3 achievements to veteran AA players with confirmed AA2 accounts.
  
• The exact AA3 minimum/recommended specs have yet to be determined – and likely won’t be for a while. The goal is to make the game as scalable and accessible as possible while also taking full advantage of the latest technology available. The specs will likely be similar to Unreal Tournament 3 specs when that releases for the PC this Fall.
  
• The AA2 platform is far from dead! We’re still developing future content for the current generation of America’s Army as well. There are many cool new features and levels coming to AA2 (and this will likely continue through the initial AA3 release).
  
• We are currently targeting a Fall 2008 initial release date (v3.0).

The latest version of America's Army: Special Forces (Overmatch) has been released! This new release, v2.8.3 has focused primarily on enhancing game-play and frames-per-second performance as well as drastically reducing the file download size by almost a full gigabyte! Based on your great feedback, the Development Team has worked hard to "tighten up" many of the issues that you've told us about. New to this version is an Instant Action feature which will allow new players to jump directly into non-SF qualified missions. We've also added a new America's Army Loader Screen which automatically alerts you if you do not have the most current version of America's Army installed. The AA Loader Screen also contains several buttons to help find the information you want quickly, as well as bring you the latest America's Army news. V2.8.3 features the debut of Every Soldier a Sensor.
