>the DoD uses pop culture to recruit
Shocker
what?
they've been playing games in raxes for literally decades now
Cool. Still not joining. Keep your fucking camaro.
user remeber they want transhuman golems to hunt down purebloods a year or 2 from now
They had their own shooter for a while.
They had weird training that you'd do to level up, like watch a video and learn to identify tanks from their exhaust systems.
>now
I remember five or six years ago seeing a huge army recruitment booth at the PAX gaming convention.
Back in 2002, the Army released their own video game as a promotion tool.

video games are now full of performative wokeness
US Homo Military embraces video games!!
shocking
COD was a psy-op to make those join the military as far back as I can remember. My brother would rent that game and then he bought it and while he was still in school til 2010. He kept getting scouted and harassed by the army recruiter that would hang around the school til parents complained about the guy bothering their kids and ended up making the army recruiter leave the school to do his scouting at the school gym.
HOOAH soldier, dont you fall on my freshly raked sand pit, HONOR, GLORY, dead OPFOR, m249, M203, weapons cache Pipeline Bridge crossing BITCH m24 HOOAH!!!!
>HOOAH!
Special forces. M4 carbine, silencers, RPG, System of a down playing in the background, menacing weapon sounds indoors. Get flashbanged and shot at, bandage yourself, remove the pin from the grenade but don't throw it, throw the grenade underhanded, picking up the enemy's AK and PKM.

That game was actually good. It was my favorite multiplayer shooter and had a great community
They did this 20 years ago retard
This lol.
When did it happen? I never remember "gamers" being dystopian progressives or very political at all.
I have an idea for a video game that I would like to sell to the government. Contact me.
I've been playing both the insurgency games alot lately, though I'm not fighting for globohomo whatsoever
The British army has a game like ARMA that they make you play in infantry school and take seriously, squad v squad - you dont do it much but it is a sign of what is to come.
Games like Day Z would train you greatly for war
My idea is actually good.
pubg would train you well for disrupting state troopers hehe
r6 good for swat shenanigans
>Do gamers make good soldiers?
Probably but not for the globohomo
Looks like they realized they need pilots to fly the drone swarms.
Too bad fed fags, I’ve wasted all that opportunity on useless dota, you’ll never get me
Hell, in 2005. I was literally scouted by an Army recruiter, because so-called friends I had would brag about how many kills I got using a sniper. He would fucking bother me for weeks, til I got into a fight in school on purpose, just to get expelled and end up being home-schooled. I hated the military and the recruiter.
most of the FPS genre is fun because you get to play as supersoldiers, magic users, or at least special forces muggles where the taking on multiple enemies at once with a wide range of weapons and equipment.
you're going to end up with fat zoomer kids who can't run thinking that a one-man-army thing works effectively irl. to train an effective soldier on vidya means changing EVERYTHING about vidya.
they're not training SEALs, most of these kids will be in noncombatant military roles or grunts.
they should be training officers on Starcraft 2 though. i heard that they even made an RTS sequel to World Of Warcraft.
Does nobody remember the movie Toys from 1992 where the Army General inherits the toy company and he brings in a bunch of kids to play video games when in reality they are controlling drones and bombing the Middle East. Underrated movie for it's prophetic nature
