The fully functional Stryker will not make its debut until sometime in the future (most likely after release 2.3.) Release 2.2, which is scheduled to come out later this year, will continue building on the Special Forces theme.
"Overmatch" (release 2.3), which is slated to be released next year, will be the first "America's Army" release to include player drivable vehicles, heavy weapons, and AI. It will be a substantial enlargement to the current game play. It will also continue to deliver the high level of game play realism that has become "America's Army" signature in the gaming world.
It's an understatement to say that there is major new development effort going into the "Americas Army Platform" (the name for the combined technology used for gaming and simulation.) The game will see a substantial amount of new features and game play rolled into it in the future via many releases. I look forward to being able to say more to the AA community as development moves forward this year. There's a lot of great stuff on the drawing boards to be excited about!

I think it will be a very interesting game. But there will probably be a lot of competition for AA next year.
From what I hear the AI will be for coop missions with the drivable vehicle's. So that will bring in a new gameplay to the field.
