America's Army: Proving Grounds is the next installment in the America's Army franchise, which is developed and published by the actual U.S. Army. It is available on Steam and, like all previous versions of the game, is completely free. Proving Grounds is aimed to be a small-squad focused experience with 6v6 and 12v12 matches taking place in urban environments. As you might imagine, a platform that has been used to train actual soldiers in virtual environments has a lot of realism in it, and you'll be going down with one or two shots if you're not careful. It is this focus on communication, tactics, and realism along with the completely and truly free to play model that has given the America's Army series a great amount of respect in the FPS community.
