infexxionTraining British Soldiers On Flashpoint
The British Ministry of Defence has picked up an "enterprise licence" for the virtual combat training simulator Virtual Battlespace 2. Never heard of it? It's a bells-and-whistles version of Bohemia's oh-my-balls-it's-so-awesome Operation Flashpoint. Which means later this year Britain's best and bravest will be trained on what is, ostensibly, a modified version of a six year-old game. And I say good for them. I took away two things from playing the original. The first was that attack helicopters are great. The second was that, every time I was shot and killed instantly , from nowhere, I realised that real war must really suck, and that next time I should keep my head down. Hopefully this will also teach British troops that they, too, must keep their heads down. Oh, and also to avoid the fighters. They're rubbish.
