Gameloft Signs Deal With US Army

Gameloft has signed on to make the mobile version of America’s Army, a game made in partnership with the US Army for the latter to promote itself around the world. ”America’s Army: Special Operations is an extremely realistic military game. Inspired by the popular PC and console versions, the collaborative project is the only mobile game in which players assume the roles of U.S. Army personnel from Apache helicopter pilot to infantry Soldier to armored vehicle commander. The game features authentic U.S. Army weapons and vehicles including Apache helicopters, Strykers, M4A1 rifles, and Stinger missiles. Borrowing from real Army operations, players must achieve mission objectives ranging from neutralizing a radar station to combat search and rescue.” I find it hard to believe that a mobile game could realistically show battle, but I guess they’re refering to the abilities of the weapons more than anything else.
