US Army Trialing Online Gaming  by Shane L at 19:09

US Army officials have been trialing a counter terrorism mod to train troops on battle situations before they are dropped into the middle of a "hot spot".

An article on GameSpot reports today that the Army is due to begin testing of this massively multiplayer simulation in the coming months.

An extract from the site...
While it has been common knowledge that There was up to something with the military, little news of the project has surfaced--until today. Here's what we know: Built on the There engine, AWE is on target for a release in alpha form this coming June. Of course, the game isn’t being sent to the usual array of game retailers. Only members of the Army's 101st Airborne division will be allowed to play AWE at first. Thereafter, soldiers will be selected by special invitation of their supervising officers

Who knows maybe the next Fatal1ty or Heaton could come from within the army.
