While this news has apparently been known by some of you for quite some time now, this is certainly news to us. America's Army 3 is slated to appear across the Steam digital distribution platform near you. This is according to a report by Kotaku.
America's Army 3, the upcoming iteration of the real Army's free first-person shooter recruiting tool, will be available on Steam when it launches.
One of the things the first two iterations of the game taught the developers is that they need to make the game as easy to find, download and install as possible, said Marsha Berry, America Army senior executive producer.
The new game, due out sometime this year, will also consolidate the account system to a single sign on and allow players to create multiple soldiers on that one account.
Other tweaks to the game include the ability to quickly jump back and forth between gameplay and training, breaking training down into much smaller easier to digest units, and a lot more unit customization.
"One of the big things we heard was that players like customization," Berry said. "We have a lot of customization on how you can load down your character."
Don't forget that they also had some hands-on time with a still "in development" America's Army 3. The Unreal Engine 3 powered title was first properly announced as being in development back in January of this year.
