Codemasters has announced that VBS1, a special version of the tactical shooter Operation Flashpoint, will be used in US Marine Corps training programs.
"The USMC and other branches of the Unites States armed forces are constantly investigating new and alternative tools to incorporate into the current training regimen," said Michael Woodman, program manager at Coalescent Technologies. "Our job is to research these tools and determine if they are, in fact, useful in training. In the case of the first-person military simulation games, the research has shown that they are useful tools, and Operation Flashpoint is the most valuable product we have found to date."

So the United States Marine Corps are being trained on Flashpoint?
Hahaha, so does that mean that in battle, they will get stuck in jeeps and need patches to fight together without lag?
Why does the image of a squad of jarheads in front of PCs crack me up?
"Sir,I am unable to enter the house sir!"
"Why not?"
"Because my video card is not powerful enough sir!"
"Hut hut hut"
"Why not soldier? You worthless puke!"
"Sir, the net-code is laggy sir!"
"...damn dirty net-code"
"Sir yes sir!"
