It's been a long time since players of Amercia's Army 3 have gotten an update for the free multiplayer shooter. Very soon, however, the game will be getting a new and very extensive patch that will address a number of issues, add a new version of the Alley map and more to the game.

However there's also a new feature that may cause current players to get a little upset. The new patch, when its released, will update the game's training missions. However it will also force all previous players of the game to go through the training levels once again. Current players will keep their Honor and non-training experience points, The patch notes admit, "While this may be a minor inconvenience to some, we feel this is the best and most fair way to reactivate the training missions."

The US Army has spent a total of $32.8 million of its budget over the last 10 years in funding for the America's Army game, according to a new article at GameSpot. The info was revealed to the site via a Freedom of Information Act request.

Funding for the free multiplayer shooter game, which also serves as a recruitment tool, began in 2000. The first PC version of America's Army was released in 2002. An all new version of the game, America's Army 3, was launched earlier this year.

Yearly budgets for the development of the game have varied widely over the past decade, with the lowest being $1,288,552 in 2005 and the highest being $5.6 million in 2001. Just after the release of America's Army 3 last June the US Army shut down the game's primary development team at Emeryville, CA and moved the game's development to its Redstone Arsenal offices located neat Hunstville, AL.
