DarthKaal: "Achievement unlocked: you've just installed and are currently using a very intrusive software on your computer just to play a free game. Now we're sure that your brain is ready to accept dumb american military propaganda. Congrats!"

TheCheese33: The game actually turned me off to the Army entirely. If they see combat as a video game, then I don't want to be fighting for them.

Actually, "they" (the army) don't see war as a video game. They know what it is. And because of that, they don't want that young people, potentially soldiers, see what the war really is, and so they show it as it was not very different from video games.
So "they" don't see war as a video game, but many young people do because of them, and also because of the mass of shooter games that takes place in war context. And that's what is terrible...

Well, that's even worse. But hey, at least we get a free, somewhat decent FPS out of it!

free (propaganda) game = more potential recruits. That's normal.
They would have to pay me to play this game...

I'd give it a go if they added Gauss Cannons and that delightful Black-Hole Gun from Unreal 2. I can't imagine the technology is -that- far off, so we might as well get some training in while we can.
