Behind the scenes story about "America's Army"

Whoa, pretty flammable situation with all the politics and employer don't know anything about running a game development and all that, pretty interesting read all together.

:edit: Forgot to mention that I really don't envy the developers working on the project.

Interesting read indeed. Never realised it went that wrong but i can imagine. Game developers and politicians/ army men are just way different people most of the time.

Indeed interesting, I had not heard of this stuff before.

who knew working for the government would suck... :roll:

i think it took off and became more of a game that people just plain like to play, like CS, and less of a recruitment strategy. the game reaches #3 on the gamespy server list - and then they complain that its not good enough? they dont mean the game isnt good enough, i think it means its not doing what they meant for it to do. my friend told me that the game is extremely popular in sweden and germany - of course, people from those countries dont join the US army.
