Future Combat Today!

[$kelet0r]

Cool little quicktime promotional video showcasing Future Combat Systems in action - very impressive stuff, closer to battlefield 2 than I would have thought - who would have though that bf2 would become a military sim

Friggin awsome!

Funny how their one mission is 'Victory', not 'World Peace'.

 

[OvA]

Funny how their one mission is 'Victory', not 'World Peace'.

That's the job of politicians, not militaries.

who enforces it though?

 

[RakuraiTenjin]

Funny how their one mission is 'Victory', not 'World Peace'.

It's the Army's website, not the government's.

 

[French Ninja]

Seen it before, but still cool.

Victory is easier to do.

That might be true for special forces in 2014, but every army division and platoon won't have those sorts of technology at their disposal. Weren't the US supposed to be getting the new XM8 Assault Rifle to go along with this FCS kit, heard that was cancelled though?

 

[Dalamari]

It's like Ghost Recon: Advanced Warrior and BF2 rolled into 1

 

[OvA]

who enforces it though?

The military does, through victories.

All great until they get a BSOD......
Then they'll all be running about like headless chickens because their technology has replaced their fundamental combat skills.

Not going to happen bub.

So long as the training stays the way it is today but evolves to include the technology then everyhting is fine. Besides, we'll always have the Marines. :sniper:

 

[JNightshade]

That is pretty cool.

Peace through Might, Might through Victory.

 

[Dekstar]

I still think it's lame.
