America's Army: Audigy is back!

By: Nicholas Huber - Published September 19, 2008 at 2:48 AM EDT - Writer Archive
The infamous team comprised of Jonny, Mofo, Proton, and company is back! The question is for how long? GotFrag asks.


We are the greatest thing this game has ever seen. We are missing Toby, but we're just that good.


That comes from Jon "Jonny" Lundquist, the boisterous team captain and manager, or "Chief", as he likes to be called.

Some history

The original Audigy Gaming team was founded in January of 2006 after a merger between Adverse Effects and Assassin Squad. The team replaced Assassin Squad in CAL-M and played well through the season, but missed the playoffs. In the very first season of CAL-Invite, and after several pickups, the team landed in the eighth and final spot of the CAL-I season. Audigy shut out overRated on HQ Raid, 8-0, to gain the Championship in CAL-I's inaugural season.

A stripped title

Soon after the team won the championship, several Audigy players were banned from CAL due to linked accounts, which are shared accounts that get linked to banned accounts, and cheating in pubs. According to Mitch "Epic7" Kahring, oR's captain and a former CAL administrator, Faint from Instruments of God started a Invite-wide vote to kick the team out of Invites. The voting was unanimous and the title was stripped from the team. The team soon disbanded and each player went their own separate ways.

After CEVO and AGC picked up America's Army, Jonny talked it over with several previous Audigy members and soon the team was back! Jonny soon moved to Instruments of God due to several core players not returning as promised, and the Audigy team played without him. The team won CEVO-Amateur, against Mediocrity, and only lost one match the entire season.

In May 2008, the team departed again. Almost 5 months later, the team has made it's triumphant return, despite several team members publicly claiming that the game was "dead". After asking Jonny if the team was back for good, he had this to say, "who knows? Hopefully, but we won't be as active as usual, as we have other sh-- going on."
