Modern Warfare 2 to cost more for the UK

[5,5]

America has tonnes of money, your houses are massive compared to the ones here. But games such as CoD give army training too, so tax payers are funding for it I guess.

@ Blinger the only way you'd pay more is because your exchange rate changes, if you payed with euros it'd probably work out the same price.

How in the world would it give army training?

And Im pretty sure Blinger worked it out and it doesent exchange to the same price.

I remember when CoD4 first game out on top of the scoreboards were all people who serve in the army etc, I guess when they play it gives them tactics.

How do you know they were in the army? Just because someones gt is General Pwnage doesent mean they are in the army. And if we get out tactics from video games than I wonder how we are the most powerful in the world?

There's loads of quotes on Google etc

Jesse Hamilton, a former Army staff sergeant who served in Iraq in 2005 and 2006, said the use of video games glamorized war and misled potential recruits, calling it "very deceiving and very far from realistic."

"You can't simulate the loss when you see people getting killed," said Hamilton, who left the Army after his Iraq tour and is now a member of Iraq Veterans Against the War.

Even though he deemed it unrealistic, it still gave him a glimpse of what would happen in a real war.

Plus, why wouldn't unexperienced people who have just joined the army and going to fight on the front line not play the video game to experience thereself with what they're going to go though. After all it's closest to the real thing.

There's a game too called America's Army, it's a free game and America tax payers funded for it, I've got it on Steam. It has all pages on the game about joining the army and people in the army play it.

If your talking about the same Americas Army game I know of, its not free at all. And people using the game as training is dumb because its not realistic at all. Thats just gonna brainwash people thinking that if they run into a room shooting everything they see and die, theyll respawn after the rounds over.

America's Army 3 was released a few weeks back and it's free

Of course they get proper training too, but a video game would still be a form of training, sort of.

Where do people get it for free?

And yeah our military goes through incredibly hard training. I just dont think video games could be much of training.

Games are so far away from real combat it's not even a joke, armies may use simulators to give people a view of what actions should be taken during certain situations but at no point do they sit people down and tell them to play a game for 16 months or however long you train for.

I heard the chinese army train there soldiers with counterstrike, you know cos its that counter terrorist - terrorist stuff.

wasnt that chest plate brought out what you plug into your game console and it simulates getting shot?
