America's Army: Proving Grounds is an online game follow up to the original America's Army. Although comparable to similar games of its genre, such as the popular Call of Duty franchise, the United State's real Army branch had a hand in developing the America's Army series. Despite this, America's Army: Proving Grounds is more of am action game than a military simulator.

Unlike many military simulators, America's Army: Proving Grounds is a multi-player game in which players will compete with and against teams of six to twelve human players. Classic gameplay modes incorporate a variety of objectives, including capture and defense missions and missions requiring players to explode or defuse bombs. Matches are intense and fast-paced, beginning with less than a minute of prep time pressuring players to come up with effective strategies on the spot. This is a FPS game in which the speed and precision of each player's actions truly matter, because the game continues to keep up the pressure and doesn't allow players a single second of spare time.

Intense matches follow one after another in rapid succession with little cool down, putting the players' abilities to come up with on the fly strategies to full use. This fast action is one of the key factors attributed to the game's success, but was also incorporated to reflect the real life tactical small unit maneuvers used in modern Army training.

America's Army: Proving Grounds is completely free to play, with no hidden fees attached.
