Sep 13 2007America's Army Coming To Arcades
America's Army, a game initially released on PCs as a U.S. Army recruiting tool, is making its way to your local arcade/bar.
The game is going to feature eight training mini-games that intend to bring highly authentic Army training exercises to players, along with a drill sergeant to ‘bring out the best in each player’. The game will also use leaderboards to encourage competition and reward players for teamwork and following the Rules of Engagement.
I can hardly wait. The shooting game at the local bar now sucks, and this thing is supposed to be bad ass. It's allegedly going to be using the latest version of the Unreal Engine, so the graphics should be straight. I've already got a moderately stiff boner just thinking about all the beer I'm going to swig and the terrorists I'm going to kill.

Yeah I remember when this game came out on PC...I guess the Army thought it could recruit people this way, but really...who are they kidding?

Who are they kidding?
All the below average kids who truly think the army's going to be a giant video game

I wonder if they will have a secret bonus level where you and Lynndie England race against the clock to stack naked enemy combatants?

Is this anything like the Last Starfighter movie, where I will be recruited to fight intergalatic wars or the army will show up and send me off to war?

Thank you crommatrixx! I've been trying to think what the name of that movie is for years!

It's just so sad to try to make people believe war is fun and cool like a videogame. And then... I played Id games since forever and like them to the extreme limit of devotion, should I enroll in some sort of Quake Army that will save the earth from evil evil Strogg aliens?
