America’s Army v2.5 Direct Action

As we look back at past America‭’‬s Army releases,‭ ‬we find
most of them to be very diminutive in their changes; generally adding a
map or two,‭ ‬fixing numerous bugs,‭ ‬and‭ ‬a number of miscellaneous
improvements.‭ ‬However,‭ ‬the latest America‭’‬s Army‭ ‬release,‭
Direct Action (‬2.5‭)‬,‭ ‬is quite substantial with its alterations.‭
‬Some of the many upgrades include the addition of two new Special
Forces maps – SF Extraction and SF Dockside, Shoot House (MOUT
Training), tournament mode enhancements, and several game-play
enhancements.‭ For Linux and Macintosh users, this upgrade is even more
significant with four new SF maps, two new weapons, and an updated game
engine (Unreal Engine 2.5) due to the lack of a Q-Course (2.4) build.
‬Will America‭’‬s Army:‭ Special Forces Direct Action (‬2.5‭) ‬reflect
the game-play of what we‭’‬ll be seeing in‭ ‬America‭’‬s Army:‭
Stryker-Overmatch, which will utilize the Unreal Engine‭ ‬3‭ ‬and will
sport other state-of-the-art features‭
