oD To Update War Simulations

[Nightglow]

The MoD’s combat simulations have been found to be too boring and unrealistic causing troops to lose concentration, compared with the latest first person shooter.
New recruits expect training simulations to be of the same quality,as Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.

VB2 is an ARMA port so the upgrade to ARMA 2 would be spot on, however I doubt they'd use something like a MOD version of COD/BF as you need to be able to edit/create new stuff constantly and ARMA/VB2's built-in mission editor allows you to do that without having to buy the Dev tools.

I think they're just referring to the graphics and effects, not that war is somehow similar to a videogame's portrayal. Some of those MoD battle simulations are graphically akin to the old Dire Straights 'Money for Nothing' video crossed with Project IGI.

Arma2 is most realistic game, but its far from realistic. You still can take a rpg to the face and your head will stay on

They need something like this

skip to 9:40 if you're in a hurry

Yes, because real life has no bullet drop or any recoil, people run around with two shotguns and knife people from the opposite side of the room.
