The only AA game that could have possibly been popular enough to have an impact was the original. During that time we were also in the beginnings of a war (or two) and I remember reading that AA2 SF was put out because they needed an influx of SF soldiers. So I assume there must have been some impact.
AA3 & AAPG were so niche that the average gamer doesn't even know they exist.
You joined the world's greatest army to become a graphic artist? Outstanding!
The services aren't hurting for new recruits. Retention is good, and turnover is going to happen naturally. Just keep steady numbers in, steady numbers out.
btw, an easy way to get people aware of the game when it comes out? Throw down a $10 donation or so to one of the top streamers like Shroud or Dr. Disrespect, and put a message asking them to try out AA5. At the very least if they read it over stream (which a lot of them do), 10s of thousands of people will know AA5 exists, boom.

Haha nice trick trying to get us to donate money to your streaming accounts

Whoa, put in any work advertising? Let's not get too carried away there.

I think you have more success with YouTubers like BigFry, DevilDogGamer, LevelCapGaming and Eroktic. Those guys are more invested into FPS games then any other.
lol a 10 dollar donation won't cut it for guys like that. But I get what your saying.
I've regularly seen Dr. Disrespect read $5 donations, but IDK. You'd just have to be like, "Hey Doc, new America's Army is coming out, are you going to try it?"
I remember Shroud saying a week or so ago (I think) that something like 85% of his subs come from Twitch Prime these days. So if that's the general trend, people who pay actual cash are a much smaller group. If that's the case, then it's not so crazy that their messages would actually be read.

I haven't watched shroud's stream lately. It used to be something like a $30+ donation was read out loud by the Text-To-Speech automatically. I'm not sure if that's still the case or still the minimum amount to be read aloud.

I haven't been watching a ton of twitch lately, but every now and then I jump on to watch Dr. Disrespect and also see what the newest fad in MP gaming is. I saw Doc reading a $10 sub recently, so I know he still reads a decent amount. I also know he also will sometimes withhold reading certain things, but I'm sure if someone donates and asks his opinion about a new game he'd probably read it.
Anyway, who knows when we'll even be hearing about the next AA. Unfortunately, we're in the black hole in terms of information. I just hope that the Army breaks the mold and is more open once the game releases eventually. The gaming community will do much more to support an open dev team vs. one who is always hush hush. This is a public video game, we're not talking about some top secret stuff.

Console is also like 2 years old whereas PC is 6 years old.

Great idea with very little investment.
