HOOAH! A warcry for paratroopers and a way of life for the United States Army. I should know ... I work with them every day. I may not wear the digital patterned Army Combat Uniform but I do know a majority of them are gamers. It was no surprise when recruiting game America’s Army was featured on the list of games for the Summer 2007 CPL Championships being held Aug. 30, 2007, to Sept. 2, 2007, at the Hilton Anatole Hotel in Dallas, Texas.

According to Cyberathlete Professional League registration site, gamers can compete on America’s Army PC game stations and America’s Army: Rise of a Soldier on the Xbox game station during the four-day event. Gamers will get a chance to play with the America’s Army Future Soldier Trainer which is similar to the virtual trainers already in use on military installations. It uses real weapons modified with lasers so that the user can feel the recoil of a real weapon as they fire at targets or participate in different scenarios that range from single player training to multiplayer missions that have been adapted from the America’s Army PC game.

Having played on the simulators personally and actually qualified on the virtual ranges and took out a terrorist with one shot. And for anyone who plans to attend this competition, you have to try out the virtual trainer. I personally guarantee its awesomeness.
