E3: Epic, US Army Develop Games as Recruitment Tool
securitas writes "Reuters and AP tell us that Epic Games and the US Army have announced the America's Army series of games, jointly developed by the Department of Defense and Epic. The first two-part game in the five-year project includes an RPG called Soldier and a first-person shooter called Operations. The game will be free of charge and available for download in July or August, with 1.2 million CDs simultaneously released, attached to gaming magazines. Does this remind anyone else of the war-room scene from Toys or Ender's Game?" Future installments will include Sim Mess Duty, Sim Standing Guard in the Rain, Sim Blister, and Sim Invading Iraq to Keep Approval Ratings High.

...the Slashdot denial of service attack.
he wasn't talking about the troups, he was talking about the the prez.
just like his daddy did.
Could someone please explain to me how a post that QUOTES THE ORIGINAL ARTICLE is offtopic? I can't wait to see you fucktards in metamoderation.
Good to see that -someone- swallows the horseshit that the Administration puts out. Otherwise all those wonks would be wasting their time...
Where's proof of that? Oh, right. There is none. You're just parrotting.
Uh, that's the point.
I've had enough abrasive sigs. Kittens are cute and fuzzy.
You have a very clever asshole.
Maybe that would actually go over big... afterall, people loved those Tomagotchi's/Gigapets/whatever watch sized beeping LCDs.
And of course who could forget the sheep?
Several of the people involved in bringing you Slashdot, including the author who posted this story, have previously been in the U.S. armed forces.
Michael was the editor who posted the story, not the author. For clarification:
author, n. The writer of a book, article, or other text.
editor, n. One who edits; esp., a person who prepares, superintends, revises, and corrects a book, magazine, or newspaper, etc., for publication.
The fact that you don't know the difference shouldn't be two surprising, as we've seen by example you, timothy and michael, don't understand the difference.
And yes, Jamie, I got your email. I know you and other editors can look up the IDs of Anonymous Cowards. Very cool.
*seesh*
Jamie abuses his role as editor. Timothy makes sexist comments. What does it take for an Editor at Slashdot to get fired already?
