War Games

Well this isnt something you see every day. Ubi Soft has managed to license out their engine technology that was used for Rogue Spear to LB&B Associates (Thanks Eric) with the intent of creating a game to help train American soldiers.

The game engine will enable the Department of Defense to train military personnel in how to conduct military operations in urban terrain. The engine, which was developed in Red Storm Entertainment's North Carolina studio, will not be used for weapons training. Instead the government wants to use the high-tech system to help hone decision-making skills at the small-unit level. [snip]

The PR goes on to say how no game engine comes close to the realism Rogue Spear achieves.

available in 6 months they say. that's pretty quick for a "high tech" mod (it probably qualifies as a total conversion). maybe the gaming industry should start recruting in the military.

only thing that really bothered me about R6/Rogue Spear ... you can't strafe & move forward/backward. It's 'unrealistic' that i cant move diagonally while looking ahead.

I can already see the next slogan from the army:

Be all you can be. Be a Quake 3l3373.

And when you join the army, everyone is just playing computer games. No wonder why our army is getting weaker and are composed of the most idiotic people on earth.

No, I actually remember hearing that... They used a highly modified version for desicion and team based purposes. I will agree, that with it's flaws, that the Rouge Spear line is as close to realism as anything out there.
