To anyone with the xbox version

Could you upload footage of army mode? I'm curious to what it's like and there's no footage online anymore.

It's VERY neutered, basically it's just the tutorial for the Army Mode telling you how you should move around the battlefield. The hud doesn't have any ammo indicators, health indicators and so forth, it's like a crappier version of authentic due to only being the tutorial. SUPPOSEDLY in the full Army version of the game you'd get to do sweeps inside of buildings, and even weapon's safe dead bodies on the battlefield.

I played that mode a lot on the xbox. Sadly the cheat code for it isn't recognized by this version.
It was HA2P1PY9TUR5TLE
I liked it because it was more like true MOUT training without all the "gung ho" and stories of the normal mode.

Yeah it sadly was removed from the PC/PS2 versions.

I have the Xbox version and played through it, and wasn't even aware of this mode. I'll see about getting some video of it. No promises though.

Full Spectrum Warrior is free with Games with Gold this November on Xbox so I might try it there despite having it on steam.

What does the cheat code and army mode do exactly and what does true MOUT training mean?

Here is the description I read about the Army mode: The so-called 'Army mode' features "more enemies, civilians, open areas, levels, and difficulty," according to reports. It is supposed to unlock a version of the original US Army training simulation upon which the retail FSW is based.

Taking cover does not mean gaining absolute protection in the Army version; soldiers attempting to avoid enemy fire by taking position behind a car or around a corner of a building are not invulnerable as they are in the actual game. The soldiers are less likely to take a hit, but they can get killed. Also, there are fewer onscreen icons as well as a much heavier civilian population in many of the missions, which makes identifying opposing forces a challenge. In the actual game, you can pretty much approach a mission with an "if it moves, it's hostile" mind-set.

M203 grenades travel in a realistic arc rather than in a perfectly straight line. It's possible to enter many of the buildings in the environment and clear them out. Switching between members of a fire team, which is a largely useless feature in the actual game, is used here as the means of getting to the respective team members' special abilities (such as the grenadier's grenades). Also, enemies attack from random directions and from all around, rather than in the predictably scripted fashion found in the actual game's campaign. Another interesting touch is that, while you control two fire teams of eight men in total in the actual game, in the Army version there's a ninth character--a squad leader, whom you presumably represent as the player.

I tried this mode. The controls are different, and I noticed some strange bugs. Never got around to making a video, but if it's going free with gold, then a lot more people will be able to do that.

VERY late reply... but there is no such "fuller"Army version; the Army got the exact same retail copies as everyone else. The print run they needed for a separate edition was way too small for Microsoft's liking, so the Army version had to piggyback

btw it actually runs BETTER than the civvie version on Xbox BC, ironically due to its complete lack of optimization. Locked 60fps unlike the latter's capped 30
