Also, today players can download Version 1.6 of America's Army: Operations. This Version 1.6 update expands the importance of rules of engagement and teamwork within America's Army due to its introduction of non-combatants in the new "Radio Tower" non-combatant rescue mission. New functionality such as the addition of projectile penetration and ricochets add increased realism to game scenarios. Version 1.6 also marks the transition of America's Army to the production version of Unreal's version 2110 engine. Having been the first game to launch on the beta of this next generation Unreal engine, America's Army is now positioned to deliver Soldiers and its expanding array of occupations, settings and missions in the coming months. The first occupations set for deployment in America's Army: Soldiers includes Special Forces, Combat Medics, Engineers, and Scouts - RSTA/UAV. America's Army: Operations will also see new missions where player capabilities gained in Soldiers combine with new armaments and combat systems in the defense of freedom.
