U.S. Navy: Gamers Are Better Terrorist Fighters

[tikrjee]

My God! You mean people with the reflexes to react to a tiny flash on a small screen are able to react to a tiny flash in a distant building? Who would've thought...
Studies in the past show that fast-paced gaming improves hand-eye coordination and visual-cognitive reaction times to a certain degree. Now the US Government endorses it. Won't be long now before the DoD actually puts a seal of approval on America's Army (not to mention future CoD and MoH titles).
And to gayan on the HAWX comment, they already do. They're UAV pilots. The vehicles may be unmanned, but there's still someone on the joystick

Well then, we'll see what these "Aimbotters" are really made out of.

 

[ooo]

I play the free FearCombat game and has an arsenal of pistols, rifles, machineguns and shotties at ur dysposal, also plasma gun, sonicannon, even missile launcher, well that could teach you no to shoot my m8s or blow them apart with the granades in the real battlefield, amunition control, focus but wait ..HELL NO, I CAN´T RESPAWN¡

"Sometimes I think, maybe I wanna join the army, I mean it's basically like FPS, cept' better graphics. But what happens if I get lag out there? I mean, I even heard there's no respawn points in RL."

FPS_Doug said it all back in 2004.

You can't save the world from the evil aliens without being a little more badass in the real life after that!

Probably has something to do with manufacturing costs and the fact that robots arent as quick, agile etc as a human

Fire in the hole!

Too bad the real military doesn't offer respawns. If they did, I would join in a heartbeat. 😛

lol, can't wait to see that on the battlefield. The first noob to jump strafe with a 50 cal weapon will also be the first to complete 12 back flips and land on his face on a live battlefield.
