US Soldiers Play Call Of Duty |
Listed in: News Tags: call of duty, online gaming, us soldiers
We often talk about our constantly connected world of social networks, instant messaging and online gaming, but it’s not until it’s things like this happen that it really highlights how convenient it all is.
US soldiers stationed in Afghanistan played Call Of Duty online with Los Angeles Dodgers who volunteered to compete in the non-profit organized event, part of the Wounded Warrior project.
Former Great Lakes Loons Nathan Eovaldi and Josh Linblom also played, as the two teams faced off online while also connected via Skype. The US soldiers apparently waited 5 hours to play with the Dodgers, with many fans stationed in Afghanistan, and the event organizer Greg Zinone said that the soldiers ‘loved it, we couldn't get them off.’
It’s nice to see videogames and technology bring a bit of normality to the lives of soldiers living iover 7000 miles away from their families.
Have online games kept you connected with people who you would otherwise never see?
