Us army had a branded video game in the early 00s. Never could get it to work.

It wasn't that good

It's why they just ended up taking over Call of Duty

It had a neat idea of making you do a test to unlock advanced classes, I've always thought that that could be reused in a better game. Like imagine a heist game like Payday with specialized roles like "safe cracker" and "driver" that you would have to unlock to be able to play.

Me at 9 years old crying at the Gran Turismo license tests:

(I'm not wholly opposed to the idea, but the cruisy unlock system seems simple and accessible enough. I also want people to play Payday 3 with)

(revolutionary communist Payday when? All the characters are gun libertarians, mobsters, and mercenaries)

Payday 1910 where you play as Stalin and co would be so cool

They're right over there playing Payday 2.

Granted yes PD2 is worse in some aspects, but like PD3 is a game trying really hard to justify its existence right now, and it's pretty telling that they went straight to porting over PD2 heists within the first year or two, when it took nearly 3 or 4 years before reaching into PDTH levels.

Unfortunately my friends aren't playing payday 2 either
