10 Hidden Ways Video Games Punished You For BREAKING The Rules
4. Off To Jail With You - America's Army 3
America's Army 3 is a sequel in the series of first-person shooters that have been made by the US Army in an attempt to get people interested in joining.
As you may imagine, a title created by an official source like that takes its rules pretty seriously, which is why the developers have put an interesting punishment for those who break them.
In the intro of the game, the player needs to complete a training course at a boot camp, consisting of obstacle courses, shooting ranges, and all the other army stuff you'd expect out of a Call of Duty clone.
The section is incredibly linear, that is, until the player gains access to their first gun. That is when the opportunity for some shenanigans happens.
Although you're instructed to shoot marked targets, you can also turn around and fire a few rounds into your drill instructor.
In the original Call of Duty, a similar act of mischief would simply prompt a game over, but America's Army 3 instead puts you in an interactive jail that can only be left by quitting the game!
The jail scene was even used in multiplayer when it was still around, forcing people behind bars whenever they were caught shooting teammates!
