Trivia / America's Army

• Backed by the Pentagon: Created by the Pentagon, actually.
• Beam Me Up, Scotty!\Memetic Mutation: Everyone associates FPS Doug from Pure Pwnage and his "BOOM HEADSHOT" catchphrase with Counter-Strike, but when he first shows up, in Episode 4, he's actually talking about America's Army. It's only in Episode 5 that Counter-Strike shows up.
• Meaningful Release Date: The game was released on July 4, 2002, the first Independence Day after the events of 9/11 and when domestic support for the U.S. military was at all-time high levels.
