America's Army 3 Has Rough Launch, Development Team Canned

Posted by Soulskill on from the no-stop-loss-here dept.

incognito84 writes "The development team responsible for the creation of the freeware game America's Army 3 has been canned, days after the launch of the highly flawed game, which was distributed mostly via Steam. 'The anonymous America's Army 3 developers in touch with Kotaku unsurprisingly didn't sound too pleased with the current situation, venting that "a lot of good people [worked] insanely long hours on this game that was butchered by outside sources.' The game's launch was plagued by massive server authentication issues which inhibited most players from playing it even two days afterward. One of the developers made a post on the official forums saying they were 'effectively stabbed in the back,' and that much of the funding was filtered to the bureaucracy. A patch has been released to address some of the game's issues."

    The early betas let you play as 3 characters:
    • Dwayne, an Army platoon Sergeant from Texas. A twangy cornfed smooth talkin' southern gentleman with a penchant for Jim Beam and bloodied Arabs. He don't take shit from no'one - especially not the LT.
    • Big Jim, an African-american Marine lance corporal from Georgia. He likes to agree with everything his Hadji victims say before he ends their lives execution-style. He perfers to rape the females before he kills them.
    • Avi, a liazon from the Israeli Defense Forces. All brains and no brawn, his specialty is remote weapons with live video feeds so that he can relive the moments of jihadis' dismemberments in his free time. He is rumored to be the bastard stepchild of famed war hero Ariel Sharon.

    It's a shame that the game won't be completed as scheduled. Rumor has it that the Obama administration personally dipped their simian paws into the game's politics to have the development stalled because it be raciss' 'n' shit, yo. Obama would never offend his oil-buddies from the House of Sa'ud.

      Some people think Barack Obama bowed to the Saudi King. Not true. He curtseyed, like the bitch he is.

    Like much of America itself, America's army is "broke", and lots of people involved are unemployed...life is it's own parody.
