Chinese military using Battlefield 2 to train its troops

[youm0nt]

Well, a while ago when I was playing PR, I was in a squad with 2 Chinese speaking people. I'm almost certain it was Chinese...

Hey, US Army uses CounterStrike source, just a bit advanced:

(check the bottom right corner ingame, that should look familiar.


US Army does the same just more advanced.

they look so stupid standing there moving in circles.

[HughJass]

haha counter strike lmao

I think the chinese use battlefield because not that it has china in it, because it has usmc in it. They use it so they can understand their tactics better: Crouch, aim, fire, prone, fire.

I think the Chinese were not playing the full version of BF2 either... All i saw was Gulf of Oman, which means, it was the DEMO most likely, they really train their troops on the cheap, lmao!!

[ralfidude]

nvm, i take that back, i saw zatar wetlands there...

[georgehu2007]

i wonder if the soldiers just play with each other or also play with whoever's online.

looks like a general strategy meeting, rather than deep infantry tactics. I'm guessing the guys on the comps are just going through the motions, being told what to show to the guys (officers?) in the white shirts watching. Basically, produing a training video on the cheap!


Edit: Pretty sure its officer tactics training now, the chinese text in the picture with the guy pointing at the screen says "situation unclear, high ground number 1, secure the high ground, when battle is joined, lock down the road using heavy fire. Then your orders are to use supressing fire superority to assault the enemy position"

Edit 2: My reading of mandarin is imperfect, anyone who can provide a better translation please correct me! Also, dont shout at me if it's wrong. Also, what the guys presenting is sound advice, good for vBf2 and what I hope to see more in PR.

well on the bright side, if hosting sites suddenly start reporting a massive influx of pr downloads originating from asia, we will all know who it is.

Tone a little down guys, this is quite disrespectful for the Chinese people.

[SuperTimo]

[Brummy]

One has to update his sig once in a while

Anyway, back on-topic.

it's just propaganda to convince everyone that joining the military will be fun.

there's no "joining" in China. you're drafted.

[georgehu2007]

actually the majority of people in the PLA are volunteers; therefore, a draft was never enforced. many join voluntarily

[OkitaMakoto]

We should spam emails to the chinese military about PR. Seriously. But...the ping would be quite high :'(

Hehe

If you join the military you get food.
At least that's how a 1st generation Chinese I know put it.
