UK police forces are to receive firearm training from a new simulation game that aims to be a truly realistic conflict simulation.

before you know it the police force will be bunnyhopping about shouting "stfu noob i pwn you".

CardJoe · 20th May 2008, 12:19

What if the guy by the car starts circle strafing?

Lol Tris.

Policeman: Don't move, we have a clear headshot on you and I will pwn a noob instantly
Criminal: Oh yeah? I'll just start moving side to side
Policeman: I will be forced to kill you with an RPG or a frag grenade
Criminal: **** I'm gonna get pwned

Lol!

Yeah there are a number of games out there like that, Red Ochestra is another one.

When will BT review this game ?

Is there an anticheat ? (then you get permabanned VAC style)

_crazy_crazy_ · 20th May 2008, 14:49

lool is the game going to be release to the public lool will it have online multiplaying capability's ? it would be awsome ownage a few cops lool

arf arf.

Police: "Ok suspect, this is a king of the hill game with no respawn..game on."

^LOL @ all above

I'd like to see a copper try a rocket jump IRL

donnie · 20th May 2008, 16:50

On a more serious note maybe they wouldn't have shot that poor dude on the subway if they had have played this game hmm nah they probabily still would have shot him but they would have taunted afterwards.
I think this is a good idea but the peripherals they should use would need to be completely realistic i.e include magazines and cocking mechanisms, i dont know whether the bitech filter will let me say "cocking" so a bolt action mechanism will have to do.

lol basically police get to play time-crisis for a living. Sweet!

pendragon · 20th May 2008, 18:10

oh man.. JT will be *all* over this... I can smell it now.

proxess · 20th May 2008, 19:40

*police fires their automatic rifles*
*criminal falls and dies*
BOOOOM HEADSHOT! HAHA I PWN J00 N00B!

Malfoleo · 20th May 2008, 20:13

What a horrible, horrible idea!

We all know that video games are DIRECTLY linked to obscene violence, rape, murder, and liberal fundamentals in the world, so why would we want a group of people carrying GUNS to play these murder simulators?! Doesn't anybody see the innate danger in this? Think of the children!

johnmustrule · 20th May 2008, 21:05

Doesn't matter police always shoot first

DXR_13KE · 20th May 2008, 21:29

now JT can call this one a murder simulator!

The_Beast · 20th May 2008, 21:49

Sounds cool but hands on training is better (not with live people, with dummys of course)

specofdust · 20th May 2008, 22:31

I've got an idea for a headline:

Joe Martin to be trained in writing accurate headlines

Going on both the bit-tech and the bbc article, the police don't appear to have made any commitment whatsoever. The game was designed for coppers, but that appears to be it.

Ninja_182 · 20th May 2008, 22:46

Without sounding like another just applying a game scenario to a possible real life situation. A police officer tea-bagging someone might be quite a sight.

Police: "Dammit, i'm lagging"
