Sometime within the next 20 years, good FPS players are going to be courted by the military to control their new line of robotic soldiers and other machines of war.

So you're saying in 20 years, we won't have treaties over usage of Weapons of Mass Destruction, but rather over whether the robotic soldiers are using AimBots?

Does this remind anybody else of that movie, "The Last Starfighter"? I wonder if you get the highest score at your arcade, do some special forces dudes show up to your house, and take you to Iraq to fight?

Before they can deploy these they'll have to send in the Army Corps of Engineers to do some reconstruction on the nations beleaguered arcades. That or build a time machine and take us all back to 1990,

Never going to happen. The US Army prefers living, minimally armored soldiers right now simply because it's cost effective. Having folks die ALWAYS is more cost effective, and that's never going to change.

How can having people die be more cost effective? It is a waste of hundreds of thousands of dollars in training.With the increase in research by DARPA for unmanned vehicles and drones, soldiers are the only thing left to replace.

It'd better not take any friggin' quarters. I shouldn't have to pay for propaganda. It should also be free.

Had an armada of asteroids attacked in the 80s I would have been ready! This goes to show you the government doesn't have plans anytime soon to stop starting wars. I can't wait to hear some kid in 20 years telling the media how hes was tricked into joining and wondering why the enemy consist of actual people and not digital targets.

I want to know why my tax dollars keep going to this shit. Keith David, and all that crappy fake metal must cost the government a pretty penny. Advertising the armed forces is like advertising toilet paper and tampons. People just know its there. I understand a little bit of advertising to keep recruitment up, but you know these things cost a pretty penny.

Gee, is the Army behind the times?

I guess so, because someone forgot to tell them....ARCADES ARE DEAD IN AMERICA!!!

Unless they are trying to recruit in Japan, which makes no sense.

Why do I have a feeling that David Perry designed this? :D

Well how else are they going to distribute it?,If it was a retail game no one would buy it since this kind of games are more likely to suck.

If it was Free or it cost less than 5$ DLG maybe...

IMO they should stick with the ads,like the ones in Socom FTB.

David, you look like an idiot to me because you took my comment as being serious. Next time, think before you post insults.
