Saving the World: The American Way

March 7th, 2009

Out of curiosity, I download America’s Army for Mac ealier. Having just completed the Basic training and M.O.U.T. exercise I would like to reflect on some of my favourite lessons so far:

  1. Use of cover: You may not discharge your weapon outside the active room.  Soldier, your mission is to charge screaming into the center of the room unloading single rounds from your weapon. Now go an be an American Hero!
  2. Flash Grenades: Flash grenades can be used to temporarily blind your foe, buying you an additional couple of seconds to clear the room.  However, it takes about 4 seconds to switch between grenades and firearm, so keep your finger on the trigger and prepare to open fire! (Why not send flash grenades in before entering the room? see poimt 1)
  3. Identification: In order to minimise friendly or civilian casualties, it is vital to quickly identify your enemy. Tip: They’re wearing balaclavas and bandannas. Son, the U.S. Army has always prided itself on telling the difference between friend and enemy!
