In Response To: a weird stance on the violence in halo 2 (Raneb) : this article was just run in my local paper sorry if it is old : http://www.newsday.com/news/opinion/ny-vppin234094158dec23,0,4366697.column : enjoy My dad was an instructor pilot for the Air Force and he says as he started to train cadets who had played video games he saw that their hand-eye cordination was ahead of the previous generation. I believe that this is about the only thing someone can learn from a video game. I can own in a round of H2 or Counter strike Source but even when I go paintballing and I'm pinned down and my gun jams it a whole different story, and I imagine that if paintballing is so different, real war is something unthinkablely different. Also here a thought on the Full Spectrum Warrior, it is a third person RTS, meaning the army doesn't want people to be wasting their time trying to beat someone to clicking a mouse (like in a FPS), but to observe tactics played out in 3D, so they understand why a field commander is telling them to do something; AND from what I understand from the previous posts is that FSW is play as a video not a game in the Army, please correct me if I'm wrong. |
