Us army had a branded video game in the early 00s. Never could get it to work.

It wasn't that good

It's why they just ended up taking over Call of Duty

It had a neat idea of making you do a test to unlock advanced classes, I've always thought that that could be reused in a better game. Like imagine a heist game like Payday with specialized roles like "safe cracker" and "driver" that you would have to unlock to be able to play.

Me at 9 years old crying at the Gran Turismo license tests:

(I'm not wholly opposed to the idea, but the cruisy unlock system seems simple and accessible enough. I also want people to play Payday 3 with)

Payday 1910 where you play as Stalin and co would be so cool

I wonder why... soviet-hmm

[–] Nakoichi@hexbear.net 12 points 1 week ago

Yeah America's Army

[–] Carl@hexbear.net 21 points 1 week ago

the army isn't political because it's against the law for army troops to do politics in uniform

an actual argument I've had with my lib relatives

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 18 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

That's not politics, that's just Army

"Following, RT's and links =/= endorsements"

Wow, getting on top of that one early. I wonder if maybe the military doesn't actually need a cutesy video game page? Hard to tell

[–] coolusername@hexbear.net 10 points 1 week ago

ender's game already did this
