Second Army-Sponsored Game Comes To Xbox
Shackleford writes "CNN has an article that discusses a new Xbox videogame, the commercial version of an United States Army-sponsored project to train squad leaders in real-life combat tactics. It was developed by Pandemic Studios and the commercial Xbox game is titled "Full Spectrum Warrior" - there's an ad for it here." Here's the official site for the non-commercial console version of Full Spectrum Warrior - is this version intended for internal use only? Obviously, both of these are completely separate titles to America's Army, another Army-sponsored game.
Does this game...
- have British troops in it for a spot of target practice?
- simulate the use of performance "enhancing" drugs?
- have scenarios where troops stand by as national treasures are looted?
- have scenarios where troops stand by as ministries are looted so a few weeks later they can say "well, we can't find any evidence of <whatever> because the documents were destroyed"?
- stage faked rescues so the folks back home have something to cheer about?
etc
