Chinese military train soldiers using Counter-Strike

[imthebadguy]

During a military news segment of Chinese Central Television's broadcast, it showed soldiers of Chinese army are been trained to be gaming geeks by playing bootlegged copies of Counter Strike, a popular first-person shooting video game.

Instructor Wang Qiang quoted saying: "Our priority is not about battling Muslim terrorists, but to kick some teenager punks' asses. We are tired of getting our asses handed to us by some zit-faced kid living in Des Moines, Iowa."

I'm pretty sure all military use computer programs to train. Didn't the US army use DOOM way back?


It was the Marines that used Doom, link

The army will learn to run faster when they're holding a knife.

First off, this is old news.
Second, this was 2001, and CS was a decent game back then.
Third, all militaries, including the US, use these types of games/simulators to train.

I wish I can play fps game but I have motion sickness.
Got a really bad headache/dizziness 10-15 minutes into the Counter-Strike tutorial

Anyone has any idea on how to cure this?

Ask your doctor about sea- or motionsickness medicine (I don't rememebr which), or something...

I think it has to do with something in your ears.

But, please, dont sue me

You gotta take out the EXCLIMATION POINT, and end it with a period.

"Terrorists Win."

It makes for a stronger statement.

I found the comments there more funny then the actual article.

I hear the entire army now yells "Humiliation" when one of their soldiers shanks someone.
