Madness
I'm not quite sure what GTA is (a first person shooter is what i'm thinking), but if you have the system speed get America's Army. OMFG. the game is addictive. I have been playing all christmas. It's like snowing M16 bullets and rocket propelled grenades. I may just have to kiss a girl under a rain of mortar fire. There are a few reasons that makes this dynamic game stand out amongst other 1st person shooters. First, it's developement including programming, testing, game developement is supported by none other than our governments military budget. Our governement and its vast monetary and human resource allows an unbelievable amount of money spent in the games developement. The game has over 20 multiplayer maps; compared to MOHAA which had 6, training modules, dedicated online servers, and an honor point system. The honor point system is equivalent to experience points, the more you get, the higher your ratings. A feeling a accomplishement is derived from the honor points system, but that is beside the point.
Secondly, the game engine is equally good compared to any other 1st person shooter game out in the market. There are over 1.5 million registered players, that attests to the games resounding success. I can be somewhat confident to say that that number of players is one of the most for public games, free or not and one of the largest online community.
Thirdly, the continual developement of this game can be assured. The game is without a doubt a success, for the army and as a propaghandist utility. Therefore one can look forward to an evoluting game with new materials. This will ensure it's following, if not make it even more attractive. Instead of buying a 60 dollar game like MOHAA which in one years time will die, AA will not.
