It seems that the British Army has been training with a modified version of Half-Life. One possible application would be to allow troops to practice their missions before they went on them for real.Obviously, being killed in the virtual world isn't quite so serious. We don't have virtual officers writing letters to the dead soldiers' virtual parents, but we'd hope the games are authentic enough to reinforce good teaching.
In a standard shoot-em-up game, every time you get shot your health goes down by a few percent. The more that happens, the less healthy you become. Here, of course, one bullet and you're out of the game.

K i think you will find that they will be able to shoot through walls and definitely doors, but it would depend on the calibre of the weapon they are using, all rifles, for example, could shoot through a door. Also an AWP or equivalent, could irl shoot through a brick wall. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]
