Hello to every friend of Americas Army out there, the time has come to make another step forward and present Americas Army to the public.
In Germany there is a TV station called GIGA TV (http://www.giga.de) which is dealing with online gaming and everything related 24/7. Our game, Americas Army, got in the focus of one of their moderators (Toni Glöckle) and there will be a show (at least half an hour) about the game.
This is gonna happen live on May, 18th 2008 at around 10pm CET. The info how to watch it is posted below.
Community's well known James Carter, who already casted numerous european, north american and even australian top matches, will be live in the studio in Cologne. He will be chatting with Toni about Americas Army and also casting a showmatch between 2 german top clans, ziRkumflex and High Fidelity. The match will take place on SF Sandstorm with 3 minute rounds, allowing a very fast paced game along with lots of action and thrilling firefights.
The focus of this show will be on the competetive side of the game, exactly the reason why most people in the big communities play it. The target is to show AA as an eSport-game and to explain its very special flavour and why it is so addicting.
Our big request to you is, to make as much advertisement about this as possible. Get your teammates to watch it and also get friends who didn't play AA yet to follow the show - maybe you can infect one or two more guys with the AA virus
On a personal note: Even though this show will be entirely in german, i still hope some of you who do not speak the language will tune in and boost the viewer-count of the TV station as high as possible - we are very thankful for that.
Here all the info about the show :
