    (PB), Rocket League (RLG), Elder Scrolls Online (ESO), Crossout (CT) and Star Wars

    Battlefront 2 (SWBF). Ever wonder if a game has been in TAW before or how many times a

    certain game has been tried? Vanguard keeps a timeline that has all those answers and more.

    Just click the link.


    The first sports/car game was launched into Army via Rocket League. We are always looking to

    expand the game library that TAW offers and this year will not be any different. Goals for the 2018

    year will be launching a sports, fighting, and console games.

    Far Cry 5 is an upcoming action-adventure first-person shooter video game developed by Ubisoft

    Similar to its predecessors, Far Cry 5 is an action-adventure first-person shooter set in an open

    world environment which the player can explore freely on foot or via various vehicles.

    has risen to prominence. Seed believes that he has been chosen to protect the people of Hope

    County from an "inevitable collapse" and has established a congregation called Eden's Gate.

    Ostensibly, this is to fulfill his mission of leading the people to salvation; in reality, Seed is a

    radical preacher and Eden's Gate is a militaristic doomsday cult. Under his rule, Eden's Gate

    has used both coercion and violence to forcibly convert the residents of Hope County, and

    intimidation to keep them from contacting the outside world for help. When an attempt to arrest

    Seed ends with the deaths of several lawmen, the player is swept into the armed conflict

    between Eden's Gate and the remaining Hope County residents, who are organizing themselves

    into a resistance movement.

    deep player-controlled vehicles, a dynamically evolving frontline, and crucial platoon-focused
