In Response To: Re: Weird is an understatement . . . (Guardian) : Alright, alright; I propose a draw. A truce if you will. : I was arguing against the article, which was talking about affecting a : person's mentality. Basically, the article was saying that the more you : play war games, like Halo 2, or Rainbow Six 3, the more you want to go to : war. : I can see that videogames do help in showing proper tactics (Although, I : could argue against that too. What's used in the military is a simulation : , not a game, but I'll leave it alone.), but I don't think it has an : affect like the article said it would. Videogames do not make you want to : go to war, they do not prepare you pyscologically for war. I can agree to a truce. its been most refreshing to debate with you on this subject. it didnt turn into a flame thread and was good talking. You've been good to debate. I can see how even how its a sim, but it's SIMULATING what enemies do, which is prepatory for combat tactics. I agree they dont increase youre desire to go and join the army, but in closing i disagree they do prepare you somewhat, but mainly i say there is no substitute for combat experience but training can make it easier to mentally handle.
