On Friday, Electronic Arts made the decision to rename the Taliban multiplayer faction in Medal of Honor to the more generic "Opposing Force". Now comes word that the decision to rename the faction in EA's upcoming multiplayer shooter might have been due to the possible loss of official US Army support for the game.

Kotaku reports that the US Army worked with the Danger Close development team at EA to make the modern day military shooter as authentic as possible. However the US Army reps claim in the story that EA did not tell them about the content of the game's multiplayer modes, including the Taliban faction, until word got out in the press about the feature over the summer. While the US Army could announce it was pulling its official support for Medal of Honor, it has no real authority to force EA to make changes to the game. In the end EA seems to have made the decision voluntarily.

America's Army 3 got a huge update today, fixing a long list of gameplay issues and bugs while adding a number of enhancements. Additional features include new achievements, and updated VOIP communication system, a revised incapacitation system and more.

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.
