Video Game Playing Skills Useful In Real Life Combat Situation |
Ó
The U.S. Army has discovered
that soldiers who grew up playing video games are better at operating CROWS
(common remotely operated weapon stations). Apparently, skills required in operating video
games are very similar to the CROWS controls. With CROWS, a gunner remains relatively
safe inside the vehicle as he checks out the surroundings on a computer monitor
(with night vision and telephoto capabilities). They noted experienced video
gamers are skilled at whipping that screen view around, and picking up any
signs of danger. Does this mean more Army Recruiters will be dropping by video arcades from now on?

Recruiters on Xbox live.
I hope I get pt in one of these.
That's very interesting - still you can't sweep snipe in real life like in Halo 2 :)
The US gov finally has a reason to draft overweight computer geeks into the army...
This can't be good for me ... They already come to my high school to recruit us, and now the game stores and arcades. When will it end?
Good evening gamers, have any of you considered a future career in the United States Army?
yah me and my friend talked about this b4, if thers like ww3 and they run out of fit ppl they can get gamers like us and we would pwn coz its basicly like FPS but better graphics xD and we hav the experience, hand-eye coordination and all that ;p so yah go gamers >:O

america's army is a form of recruitment, and its been playable for years.
if they ever considered paintball b4 video games
So it's like they're playing in RL, you know!
PURE PWNAGE!
I'd love to go but only if they let me control all the best weapons behind 10 inch steel :)
Its true though. I have played shooting games in arcades for years (Time Crisis, Police Trainer, Dear Hunter 'its an ok game') and last year when I first went to a firing range my trainer said I was a natural and I had head shots on every paper.
P.S. Head shot rule.
Less of crap news like ''video games make prisoners behave'' or ''video games are good fro the army'' we want real stuff....
-Comedy
Video games are good for sex. The reflexes and the aiming developed while playing CounterStrike make you ***** like a tiger.
nocomment
aw *****, i posted a blank comment. anyway, you can't call yourself comedy, i got here first
this is silly, i have no trouble killing aliens in a video game but for it to be just applied to this weapon of war without having to think seriously about the fact that you're now killing real people is a mistake.
but we always knew videogames were good right? that's why we read these kind of websites.
Hehe sorry bout that first name that came into my head really..
Then my **** reflexes are better than ever.
This is a very interesting topic.
