Chinese Army Develops FPS Used to Train Soldiers

Players of modern warfare-themed shooter games will know that the adversaries in such games nearly always consist of brown people with funny accents and sunglasses who must be hunted down because they acquired a nuke on the black market.

But now, the Chinese People's  Liberation Army strikes back. 'Glorious Mission' is a video game reportedly a lot like America's Army, but this time around, the yanks are the bad guys. Its purpose? To train PLA soldiers. Controversy, anyone?

 

Especially on YouTube, a lot of people seem displeased with the idea of being able to mow down square-chinned white boys for a change. We at NoobFeed, however, already speculated on this a few months ago in one of our features. Yes, we are clairvoyant.

It'll be very interesting to see what'll happen now that the PLA has opened the can of worms. But by the looks of it, the game is not actually going to be that good. The stuttering is horrendous (although that could also have to do with the video quality) and the gameplay looks a bit clunky. Moreover, odds are that the game will never make it out of Beijing's military base anyway.

But let us speculate and say that the clunkiness will be ironed out and Grolious Mission will somehow find its way on to the European and American markets - would you play it?
