    What can I say? It's free and it's surprisingly good! It's one of them titles you would assume because it's free it's gonna be crappy, buggy and have the lifespan of 3 mins of your time... but that really couldn't be more wrong, it's actually a really good, well developed game.

It's one of them titles you would assume because it's free it's gonna be crappy, buggy and have the lifespan of 3 mins of your time... but that really couldn't be more wrong, it's actually a really good, well developed game. There's a bit of military propaganda thrown in, which is basically to be expected since the US Army use this as a way to advertise their military and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. In AAPG you get to use official military issue weaponry like the M4A1, M16, Combat Shotgun and M24 Sniper rifle to name a few, there are no over the top killstreak perks like Call of Duty, no respawns.. so it really gives you a massive sense of needing to work as a team to accomplish the mission, that's further aided by the built in VOIP system. Don't listen to all the people saying "its nothing like past titles in the series such as AA2, or AA3" as I don't think it's supposed to be anything like them so don't let them pre-judgements persuade you from at least trying the game..

    All in all, for a completely free, Beta game that's getting better and better over time... It's worth a try, what do you have to lose? I have paid for games far... far worse than this title. Get ya game face on and get in the game!    … Expand

    A great game, with a few bugs, considering I write this review during the beta it means it is already better then most online shooters.

    A revive & secure mechanism makes teamplay a must, because teamplay is important joining a clan is also highly recommended.

    After playing AA2 a lot and disliking AA3, proving grounds is by far the best shooter currently available.

    Solid gameplay reminiscent of the better AA titles of yore (none of the in-game quicktime event nonsense of AA3), tactical movement as per previous titles (leaning, breathing control, revive/secure mechanics), and a highly responsive developer team show that the AA series is still alive and kicking.

    Those fanboys of the old AA games will be divided. Yes the loss of stripe rankings and AI bots is unfortunate - but a 1 or 0 out of 10, really? The game is only in beta stage, it's free and it retains a sense of ultra-realism that ARMA currently dominates the market on.

The game is only in beta stage, it's free and it retains a sense of ultra-realism that ARMA currently dominates the market on. Yes you may occasionally have to watch some American Army history, yes you may have to buy yourself a headset - but that's what sets this game apart. The tactical element of securing your enemies, or racing to revive teammates is very much at the fore of this game, as is the teamwork element. AA is not dead, it is reborn. And this time it has better graphics, the one-headshot-you're-down realism and sound effects that will make you cry. Also, IT'S FREE! What do you have to lose?

    My few big criticisms would be: No AI bots
    No ranks system (Private to Colonel)
    No system to tell you if you are the last one alive on your team
    Grenades are TOO realistic, small and camouflaged, they are hard to spot    … Expand

    updates very frequently by developers and monitoring always active

    Great Game    … Expand
