Soldier to become video game model is an article about the soldier who will serve as the model for a character (as well as an action figure) for America's Army: Real Heroes, offering the first information about a sequel to the first-person shooter (not counting abortive plans for an RPG based on the project). Here's a bit:
He will model for a new line of figures based on the sequel to "America's Army," an online video game released by the Army in 2002 as a recruiting tool.
The "America's Army: Real Heroes" sequel allows players to fight as actual decorated soldiers, such as Wolford. The game will feature nine soldiers, including a woman, said Lori Mezoff, a spokeswoman for the game venture.
The soldiers also will be used to create a line of action figures based on the game.
Wolford, as a member of the Fort Bragg-based 325th Airborne Infantry Regiment, received a Silver Star for a firefight in the southern Iraqi town of Samawah. According to the award citation, Wolford put himself in harm's way to help the wounded, redistributing weapons and equipment and coordinating fire for the machine guns.
"I didn't think my actions stood out above anyone else," he said.
Game developers may incorporate a mission that mirrors Wolford's experience, but no decisions have been made on how the characters would be incorporated.
