So when the Army began making a simulation to let civilians experience the barracks to the battlefields, it sent its talented development teams to experience the Army as a recruit would. The developers crawled through obstacle courses, shot weapons, parachute jumped, and visited the Army bases, all to let you play Army in the most realistic way ever depicted in a computer game."</i></blockquote><p> For those that didn't want to take the time to rip it out of the Gentoo Games ISO, there is now an official ArmyOps 1.7.0 client for Linux, nice graphical installer and all.<p> <i>(Thanks, Boris!)</i> America's Army 1.7.0 new America's Army
