In-Game Equipment
The United States Army uses modern Western weaponry. In addition, the US Army fields many optical sights for most of their small arms. A way to identify most US soldiers is to spot their ballistic glasses; all US soldiers in the game, aside from combat engineers, wear ballistic glasses.
The US Army vehicles roster is well-rounded, with multiple platforms covering diverse combat situations. The M1126 APC and M1128 MGS are unstoppable spears of quick flanking maneuvers, while M2A3 and M1A2 are the unbreakable shields of the armored frontline with excellent firepower.
