    It’s actually kinda fucked because I remember playing this game and thinking it was pretty good. If the US actually put AAA type money and time into a game it would beat COD in sales. Thankfully they don’t and keep pumping out Slava Ukraini trash and regular cod games which are being regarded more and more as trash.

      IIRC the original game was free, but I didn’t even realize until looking at the NATOpedia page how many sequels they made that people had to actually pay money for.

      The Real Heroes program used videos, photo albums and blogs on the Real Heroes website to depict the lives of nine U.S. Army, Reserve, and National Guard Soldiers featured in the program. Soldiers’ likenesses and biographies were incorporated into America’s Army game and used to create action figures sold at retail stores and distributed at Army events.

      (CIA and KGB agent joke)

      At least the Propagandhi song about it is a banger.
