America's Army: Special Forces (Overmatch) also marks the launch of the America's Army Real Heroes Program in which the U.S. Army provides America's Army players insights into the accomplishments of Soldiers who have distinguished themselves in combat and earned citations for bravery and valor.

America's Army: Special Forces (Overmatch) also includes:
* Missions featuring cooperative gameplay against Artificial Intelligence in which players experience the overmatch capabilities that the U.S. Army brings to the battlefield to engage and defeat much larger hostile forces.
* A "record brief" for each player, replicating the records maintained for each Soldier in the Army. Annotations in this "record brief" document players' successful completion of in-game training from medic to Special Forces and summarize their game play history and performance.
* The opportunity to train and employ new weapons systems including the Javelin Missile and the CROWS.
* New vehicles, controlled by players and Opposing Forces (Enemy AI), which enhance the mobility, survivability, and firepower of combat teams.
Introduction of Real Heroes into the online world of America's Army provides players with concrete examples of how Soldiers from across America make profound contributions in the defense of freedom and how their contributions have fundamentally shaped their personal development. America's Army Real Heroes uses videos on the America's Army website (
www.americasarmy.com) to recount the circumstances and actions in which Army heroes were decorated for valor in the Global War on Terrorism. These Soldiers will also be presented as interactive characters in training missions throughout the game and in an interactive Virtual Recruiting Center. In addition, Real Heroes will be highlighted on the official U.S. Army site (
www.goarmy.com) and as collectable action figures available at major retail outlets in the coming months.
"The America's Army Real Heroes program puts a face on some of the exceptional Soldiers who are at the forefront in defending our freedoms. With Real Heroes young adults can learn about the accomplishments of some of the heroic men and women that make the Army the world's premier land force," said Colonel Casey Wardynski, Project Director for America's Army.
The America's Army Real Heroes are but a few of the Soldiers in today's Army who have exhibited exceptional gallantry and bravery.

They are emblematic of the more than 1,700 Army heroes who have earned such awards for action in the Global War on Terrorism.
