Somewhere around the crack of the 21st century, higher-ups at the United States Army sought for a way to remedy their waning recruitment rates and number of new recruits dropping out of training, and came up with a plan to get American teenagers interested in joining the Army: A freenote (except to American taxpayers, who pay about two cents each for the project even if they don't actually ever use the game themselves) online First-Person Shooter based on Counter-Strike that educates players on the Army's principles and technical aspects through simulated "first-hand" experiences.America's Army 3 managed to garner itself some infamy its first week of release, with the game being hardly functional at all, as the 8,000 people who attempted to play apparently overloaded the servers. The problem was largely solved in short order by preventing the players from needing to do the training and has since been rectified. After the release of the third installment, the entire development team was fired and development transferred to an internal Army development team who updated the game much more frequently than the previous team did.After the success of America's Army, similar projects were started by the Canadian Army and British Army.The game is available on Steam and was formerly available from the official website (which now redirects to the U.S. Army's general recruiting website, GoArmy.com). The U.S. Army shut down the project on May 5, 2022 with online features such as stats and rankings no longer functional. Private servers can still be created & played on. | |

| America's Army (Video Game) / int_13f5b1b | comment |
Instant-Win Condition: When the map's final objective is completed, all players who are alive at that instant are considered to have survived the round, even if they are surrounded by enemies, standing on a frag grenade with a nanosecond left on the fuse, or about to bleed to death. | |

| America's Army (Video Game) / int_1bf47ada | comment |
The Medic: The game doesn't have medics exactly, but Combat Life Savers. Combat Life Savers are just infantrymen with extra medical equipment, as opposed to medics who have a different job entirely. In game, a wounded player must be treated by a CLS to prevent his condition from worsening. | |

| America's Army (Video Game) / int_30c40e9a | comment |
Deconstructor Fleet: There are tons of aversions to the standard FPS genre, playing itself like an actual war if you were to be in the army. A no-brainer, as this was made by the government for the purpose of training potential soldiers, and thus have to axe some tropes that would never happen in real life. | |

Swiss-Army Weapon: Not exactly a Shapeshifting weapon, but players can choose what SOPMOD attachments they have on their customized M4A1 Carbine.

Excuse Plot | |
| America's Army (Video Game) / int_70d8269d | comment |
Excuse Plot: Almost all of the mission briefings equate to, "There are terrorists/members of an enemy military/mercenaries here, go stop them and rescue a hostage/collect intel/capture their leader/destroy ordnance." Perhaps justified, as overly elaborate plots could be unfitting since real life situations aren't specifically designed to be interesting. America's Army 3 attempts an aversion; to avoid the usual backlash about the game being tactless on account of using a current conflict as a source of inspiration for enemies and their guns, the opposing force is the state army of a fictional nation perpetrating war crimes on civilians, and there's even a graphic novel on the official website detailing the exploits of some Army grunts with their boots on the ground. | |

Character Customization | |
| America's Army (Video Game) / int_8aaa6f4f | comment |
Character Customization: Present to a limited extent in America's Army 3. The player can select from premade heads and completely customize his training and job, with many different paths. It gets to a point where the player has to decide whether he wants that particular Soldier to be an eagle-eyed marksman, heavily-equipped machine gunner, or something else and invest his character development in that field. Customizable profession isn't really present in America's Army, where the player can specialize in everything, creating a "perfect" character. | |

Unusable Enemy Equipment: Makarov pistol, various explosives. They are the same as what the players get except cosmetically, so there's no reason why players would want to take them anyway. Was going also be done for the enemy weapons in America's Army 3, in which players would have only been allowed to take the enemy's STANAG magazines and not their weapons, but the development team changed it after players complained. | |

Pink Mist: Averted due partially to the need to avoid a rating higher than T, and partially to the fact that 5.56mm bullets rarely cause that kind of Gorn. Plus, the game is a recruiting tool; people are likely to be less open to joining the Army if their death was just rendered in agonizingly gory detail. Those to whom such things would appeal are generally more unstable than Army recruiters would like; folks of that persuasion should go sign up with the Marines. | |
