The first part of the expansion drops somewhere in mid to late October and will feature new single-player objectives that adhere to real-life Special Forces training. Running on the most current version of the Unreal engine (the same as UT2004), "Version 2.0" of America's Army boasts improved character models and implementation of a host of new Special Forces weaponry, including incendiary grenades and the M4A1 SOPMOD (which includes a grenade launcher, scopes, and other attachments to increase the rifle's effectiveness).
On the last research excursion, which made the trek from Fort Bragg to a Stryker unit to Fort McClellan, the development team filled three 512MB photo cards of unit, vehicle, and weaponry images—that amounts to some 1,500 pictures. In addition, a soundman who worked on The Matrix film was drafted to record the fires of real weaponry; many of these guns have never previously been recorded.
