The US Government-made America's Army game has stormed its way into the Guinness World Record books for a total of 5 new records, including:
- Largest Virtual Army
- Most Downloaded War Video Game
- Most Hours Spent Playing a Free Online Shooter
- Earliest Military Website to Support a Video Game
- Largest Traveling Game Simulator
The game was conceived of as a recruiting tool based on the kinds of realistic training games that they previously used for training troops -- albeit with a lot of tweaks to make it more fun for the average consumer. Released for free, it quickly became one of the most played multiplayer games of that year and still maintains a strong fan base today with numerous sequels having been spawned, some even as retail products.
