According to Uncle Sam, the US Military is the best solution for a itchy trigger finger. Why settle for second best when you can have the real thing. As a gamer its cool to turn on your favorite console, pop in your favorite fps and go ballistic. But,has it change your perspective and make you want the real thing. Some speculate with a over abundance of fps to choose from their is a reason and this began to spark my curiosity.
A 2008 study conducted at MIT showed that 30 percent of Americans ages 16 to 24 had a more favorable impression of the Army because of COD Modern Warfare. Even more astonishing is the game had more a impact on new recruits than any other form of advertisement. Are we getting basic training before entering basic training. Is this a clever tactic to train up future recruits. Though I highly doubt it my question is this "Have fps influenced your view of the military and would you consider joining."
Well Well Well. It's been awhile since I've done some news so I'm back.
Anyways, if you're to lazy to read above it talked about how a lot of people are joining/Joined the Military because of FPS Games
Mostly CoD probably because of how realistic it is. I highly doubt anyone joined the Military because they loved Halo and wanna be just like the Spartans.
I know of at least 2 people or more that have joined the Marines and/or Army because CoD just had such an influence on them. I'm sure you know someone who has joined because of that reason too. I just thought this was kind of interesting so I figured I might as well do some news on it.
