US Army spent $32.8 million on America's Army over 10 years

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.
