KILLEEN, Texas — After a week of beta testing, the Army's E-Sports gaming team has reported that the Fort Hood version of the newest installment of the wildly popular Grand Theft Auto videogame, GTA: Fort Hood is "a little too realistic."
GTA's creators say they were trying to create "a more authentic experience" for modern gamers.
"We see how well the Call of Duty franchise does when they release a new military focused video game, so we wanted to try our hand at it," said Alex Marrero, lead developer. "We've found over the years that our customers love being able to commit murder, buy and sell narcotics, launder money and even kill the occasional hooker."
"With all the stuff in the news about Fort Hood in recent months, we assumed leaders there were trying to see if they could raise their 'wanted level' to 5 stars, like in the game" said Marrero. "This inspired us."
