PLA makes first person shooter in which you kill American soldiers

[QUOTE="DeepSigh"]"Glorious Mission" is a FPS in the StyIe of Call of Duty or America's ArmyDraugenCP

Wait, what? Those are two entirely different games.

Anyway, I don't see how this is any different morally from the heaps of American shooters in which you are encouraged to shoot tanned people with funny accents.

I meant real tan, not foundation. :D

I'm American but I don't object except for "leisure program."

But if they release it, fine by me, it's a video game.

Aren't there already American made games where you kill American soldiers?Lonelynight

Well technically it's Swedish. But it's funded by an American company!

if thats how they wish to train their soldiers so be it.

They should practice on some real...

Who knows it will go down one day.

china/russia/NK ect

vs

u.s/canada/uk/france ect

It will be a fun day when hell breaks out... umm wounder how long it take to have every piece of land covered in radiation from nukes?

I thought the Battlefield series already had campaigns where US troops are the enemy. I played as the Iraqis many times in Desert Combat. The latest game where I sometimes play insurgent is ARMA 2:

Who cares? There are tons of other FPSs where you kill pretty much everyone else. Why do people act like US soldiers are special and different and shouldn't be killed in video games? They're killed in real life. I think people should care more about that then killing virtual soldiers in an FPS.

The US army uses training video games that put the US against Russia or middle eastern countries and did sell America's Army to the general public which put us against various enemies.

I really don't see the big deal here. It's good scenario, China vs. the US. Right now because China is such a large economic ally of us, it's kind taboo to make any war movie or game about us fighting china, but it's certainly not wrong that one is made.

Let them make their own video games. They want to make a China vs. America video game and make a chinese solider the protagonist, they can. Big deal. Vritual dudes get blown away. I would rather have that than real dudes.

The threat of war between the US and China is so tiny I think there's a better chance of Canada invading the US before any war against China.

It's all media hyberbowl. They are trying to blow it out of porportion.

I would love to see this taboo dispelled with.. I always wanted to see a fps in WW2 where you played on all sides including troops from the German and Japanese side of the conflict.sSubZerOo

That would actually be awesome. One of my favorite war movies of all time is Letters From Iwo Jima because it shows another side in the war.

These conflicts are past us. In order for us to better learn about the world at that time, we need to taught it from every angle. Putting us in a video game on the German's side of WWII, if it is done historically accurate in terms of culture and whatnot, would be a great way to learn how the German soliders thought of everything. Their leaders, the actions of their nation, their own patriotism. What wrong with that? Sure you shoot and kill Americans, French, British, or other allies, but really who cares? The conflicts are far behind us now.

So what?

Not to mention that, from a gameplay point of view, it opens up a whole new set of possibilities. A campaign mission as a German soldier in Berlin during the final days of the war? Sign me up.

I don't even think it being too soon or what ever. Its the mere fact that people who are not versed in history like to think the bad guys are evil people and they don't want to see them conveyed anything like our troops.

I'm pretty sure you could kill americans in battlefield 2.

Yea that would be fun to play from the other side for a change.

As for the Topic in general, Well the US is the biggest Military power in the world so they are a good of an enemy as any i guess. I have no issue with it. Who else should China use instead?

I agree with this. I think it's funny how people keep painting China as a huge threat to the US. We are so economically interwoven that if one goes down, so does the other. But a lot of people still see China as it was in the 1970's.

Plus the game doesn't bother me whatsoever.

I predict a flop.

Graphics are terribad :P

While it's true that there is no shortage of games where you kill American soldiers (and certainly no shortage of games where you kill virtually every other nationality AS Americans), the difference here that's getting people riled up is that it's not a commercial game but rather a game commissioned by China's government. Not just that, but it's being used to train their soldiers. It's a pretty offensive move to make diplomatically speaking. Russia, for example, was already pissed enough at their portrayal in MW2. Imagine what that reaction would have been like if the game had been commissioned by the US military and used to train American soldiers.gameguy6700

Its not so much of a training tool or simulator as a recruiting tool. The reason they made it was becuase of the success of America's Army as a recruiting tool. If you want to make a game where you fight a modern military instead of terrorists held up in caves then the US is as good of an enemy as any other.

Some of the scenes made the grpahics look average but the physics and explosions looked pretty good.

So what if it is sponsered by the Chinese government? How is that any worse than the fact that the US military has plans on how to invade other countries or training exercises to attack other countries or nationalities "just in case."? This one just happens to take place on screens with pixels instead of on a field with paintball guns.

That game doesn't look that bad.. was expecting something like conduit.

So, how does this train soldiers?tekken220

It doesn't, I think it's the leisure part of the training and leisure program that it's part of haha. Really this game is sort of like the PLA's America's Army which is a pretty fun game! I like doing the night time missions but though I do not think they specify any particular enemy in AA.

I'll wait for the GOTY edition so I can get all the map packs.

This isn't news. Americans themselves have been killing Americans in FPSs for about a decade or more now.

[QUOTE="chaoscougar1"]If I am not mistaken, in Battlefield (all of them) weren't you killing US soldiers as China, Russia, Germany, Vietcong etc?DeepSigh

I have no idea, but people seem to be getting uptight about this game the army is using to train their troops.

:lol: As if the United States Military doesn't do the same thing. Seriously why is this even an issue, games are made that kill pretty much every other group of people. :|

in "prototype" you kill US soldiers by the thousands.

why would they make a game where the campaign is unwinnable?

Just because you don't win at the end of the game doesn't make it worthless. The journey to the end is very important.

Unless that was meant to be a joke post (referring to that you can't beat the U.S. army), in which case just disregard my post.

Militarily the US army did not lose in Vietnam

It was a political loss.

I suspect this is a joke thread, but u've been able to kill american soilderes in call of duty for years, along with about a million other fps.

If u've played a few matches odds are u've spawned on the bad guys side i.e. russians, nazis and terrorists, and u kill the american team.
