Title: America's Army: Rise of a Soldier (2005 Xbox Game) Playable Online Again
Post by: Demon27248 on Friday, June 30, 2023, 12:02:27 PM
I thought I'd share this here for anyone interested. Last week, the Xbox Live server emulator Insignia (https://insignia.live/) added support for America's Army: Rise of a Soldier, letting it be played online again for the first time since the servers shut down in 2010. The game mostly has maps from America's Army 1 & 2 but the game mechanics are quite different.
If you want to see what the game looks like, I've recorded a few videos for Youtube:

Wow, thank you for sharing!. I had always wanted to pick up this game when I was young, but was never able to find it. Information was also a touch scarce so I had no idea there was multiplayer, that the maps were (mostly) the same, and that a lot of the same models / textures / sounds were used. The videos are really cool to see what I missed out on!.
