"Tournaments have become an increasingly important vehicle for raising awareness of the America's Army game and our presence at the Cyber X Gaming event will certainly further enhance the game's popularity among the gaming community and general public," said COL Casey Wardynski, project director and originator of the America's Army game.
The America's Army: Special Forces action game focuses on the critical, specialized role of the Army's Special Forces within the U.S. Army as they fight the Global War on Terrorism. In America's Army: Special Forces, players virtually explore the development and employment of Special Forces Soldiers.
