:/ yea because sluggish aim, and eternal darkness is just how real war is right ? They are developing a realistic simulator something along the lines of vsb 1 and 2, both simulators derived from operation flashpoint 1.

Do you know that the percentage of death from Collateral damage (re-read as : innocent civilians) and Friendly Fire accidents (re-read as Shooting your own team or military) will be reduced with realistic immersive training?

There are lots of reasons to be against violence & wars, but none I know of to be against training your military teams to MINIMIZE that violence.

Fear, fatigue and real experience affect those things on a far greater scale than the ability to point and click on the right targets.

Also, you are more probably more likely to make a real mistake if you take the simulation for granted and think "it's just as easy as in the simulator".

A pilot simulator is more valid since a plane is practically a computer.

well its rather easy if the people who are driving the plane are somewhat in control by your own government you work for. your fighting the war to increase american territory and in the process, lower gas prices, create american bases on foreign soil, and get control of their major companies which produce valuable resources. ofcourse, you wouldnt know anything about that since you are a highschool dropout brainwashed to fight for nonexistent causes blindly presented in a form they like to call "fight against terrorism". truth is, less then a 100 americans die a year from terrorist attacks when you have millions dying from heart disease and cancer...go fight for something a little more valuable.

But you have to have a high school diploma or GED to get into the military. With all those assumptions you seem to be the one with the high school imagination. Fighting for their resources was a good one but since we are trying not to become energy dependent that falls a lil short. That points out you are pretty selfish. If that 1 outa 100 a year was someone you loved you wouldnt be saying that and the fact that you don't think the children in the middle east deserve freedom. It is nice to have isnt it? Just not nice to give others? Its obvious you dont follow the news and just follow here'say.

And who are you to tell me what I am fighting for?

Sorry it just upsets me that people are so negative and so into their own lives. This is the last rant ill have on a GAMING post.

ps you dont drive a plane you fly it :P

Nice try.................. but you have to have a diploma to even be considered for the military. You sounded smart, but didn't research. -5 points for false info.

If your squad leader freezes up, it's more likely due to fear/adrenaline than lack of theoretical skills. No-risk simulations will probably make people more careless than anything.

And if you want to believe in the whole "war on terror", that's your choice, but please don't try to justify it for others with what-if scenarios like "it could happen to you", that is all to well used propaganda. Also, consider that "the news" are privately owned mega-corporations, with other primary interests than objectively showing things as they are.

This is not a personal attack on you, I'm sure you're doing what you think is right, but be careful about trying to enforce your view of things as the only right perspective.

The way they made this sound (like the fats machine) it will only be available for people in law enforcement or people employed by the government.
Its weird how kids can go from nickelodeon to cod cursing you out in the games.

This is training for the US military, not the Glitching military.
