army training must now be a really scary place if people are deciding to join because of playing COD. The tactics instructor will have a hell of a job No you don't lob all your grenades as soon as you land. No you can't dolphin dive No you don't run faster when your knife is out instead of a rifle :P

yep, i just turned in the form to join the army. well before, i thought army was gonna be like all sad, and depressing. but after playing some shooting games and getting the thrill, i have decided to join the army. has a videogame motivated you to do something?sofakingfat

So you joined the army due to a video game.. thats funny.. scary, but funny.. just don't share this info with the enemy if you get caught behind enemy lines as they might make an example of you..rememberto reload when given the opportunity and make better use of cover !

Wow, that's a big desicion to make from a game. Well it's your desiscion so I hope it works out. The most a game has ever motivated me to do is probably sports games getting me to watch more sports on tv.

That is just sad. You shouldn't join the army because it's glorified in a video game. Watch Saving Private Ryan and then tell me you want to join the army.

you're up for a great emotional shock. I don't believe this thread is real though. If yes, I'm disappointed to U.S. Army's (lack of?) psychological evaluation tests.

TC: Well theres this video game called call of duty and its frikin awesome sir it made war seem so fun like more of a sport than anything else Drill Sgt: .... TC: Hey do you have xbox live sir? we could play together some time ill teach you to no scope Drill Sgt: Sorry son but the furthest your going to get to war is latrine duty at the barracks your a liability TC: *sobs* but i wanna go use a golden AK

Lol the proper grammar would be "I want to be a Master Chief when I grow up" since undoubtedly all the 10 year olds (on Halo not necessarilly you !)also would like to be a Master Cheif. Actually now that I think back to my sophmore year when Halo 3 came out it actually made a friend of my friend want to join the Marines and I thought "Wow those are absolutely NOTHING alike".But still, even approaching our Senior year, hecarries around this Marines backpack he got at a career fair and talks like he's a bada** when he's really not... At all... He isn't even good at Halo 3.

Aww yes, the old knife speeds you up from Counter Strike and CS: Source. Very good games. Counter Strike has influenced me to be a terrorist so I can buy Dual Wieldable Pistols and Ak47's.

After playing Grand Theft Auto, I went and shot up a strip club. Except the police never came...I guess no one cares about strippers. So, video games motivated me before. Joke thread, right?

If this is real then The Army apparently took away the IQ test.

Just a quick tip for you. If they say your being stationed anywhere in America.

This is code talk for "Your being thrown into a war zone full of sand, Taliban, and IEDs; Enjoy :D!!"

[QUOTE="Innocentguy757"]You don't think, but you don't know either. Plus a lot of times people who join the army join for the rush, or to do something exciting or different.

you really think that? i really dont think any of us know war unless we actually experience it, saying we do is ignorance and an insult to those who have served. to be honest, i dont think he has a clue as to what he has gotten himself into

Thats why they get intense training and yes I respect the people serving our country

just remember, if your on an aircraft carrier, and somebody jumps into a plane DONT SHOOT IT to show that you wanted that plane. also dont wait on the aircraft carrier for another plane to spawn throughout the whole war. bioshock inspired me to stab kids with hypodermic needles and dejuice them for their delicious fruity goodness.

I somewhat agree with you, but when you have family members who were involved in war its very easy to understand how horrifying it can be, you cannot possibly say that the feelings you receive when playing a video game is similar to that of being in war, it is completely different, do you suffer trauma from play video games? nothing like that of war, obviously. But i do see your point, we cannot understand war truly unless we actually experience it ourselves, one thing for sure is war does not bring joy, unlike a video game LOL!

Joining the military is an amazing opportunity, he will carry it with pride, and it will open unimaginable doorways for career options and life lessons afterwards.

C'mon man, CoD4 is about Marines. Hate to tell ya, but you won't be getting as much action in the Army compared to the Marines, even if you're infantry. Even the army infantryman are more of an occupational force than on the attack. We're the tip of the spear man.
