Not a Game: Inside Virtual Iraq

[alecdepalect]

lol ArmA

[FOXeye95]

looksl like ArmA xD

[Aleksitusasd]

@AmericaSucksLol 0/5 trolling

[belfor60]

como é o nome do jogo ?

[hoiheyyodude]

the only thing that isn't realistic are the graphics

[john7gate7]

faljhbcvwljbsjbndehjkcbvjlwh Sorry i fell asleep in the keyboard!!!

[silvestri98]

how did these comments turn into a mw3/battefield war

[xphillyskullsx]

nice way to brainwash young teens

[supermoose5]

@xphillyskullsx Lol you stupid.

[xphillyskullsx]

@supermoose5 stfu

[Aleksitusasd]

@xphillyskullsx Idiot

[mcwendys11]

i wonder how many people in the sim t-bagged

[HEADAIM]

Give this to Activision to make a better graphic.

[Latvietis96]

so... i dont think war veterans should play cod/bf because its way more intense than this

[DatHarry]

@Latvietis96 COD/BF Being "intense"? no way, it's just more action-y. MOAR ESPLOSONS AND BOMS KK?!

[Baystategriffin]

bad graphics

[NoOdL3z18]

@Baystategriffin They are running it on the Full Spectrum warrior game engine which is over 10 years old. Nowadays they would probably use ARMA 2 or something.

[justme0verhere]

i was in an exercise for 4 days. all they had me do was play full spectrum warrior. this mustve been like May 2011. its in NOWAY fun. we did fucking react to contact drills and even 3 hour rukk marches. A virtual rukk march is the only thing worse then a real one. nothing but fake trees and virtual hardball for hours. better then ACP duty i guess. ;/ Army 25S

[ThirdStreetSaint777]

I swear that if they remade this with the new and realistic gaming engines we have now that the Soldiers would probably freak out. ;(

[InfinantGamers]

Is it called Arma 2?

[MultiAlieninvasion]

@origamininja11 shut the fuck up man. pussies like you take freedom for granted.

[manrayer88]

This looks pretty cool

[flagnarg1]

I WANNA TRY THIS

[aGrabTV]

FUCK USA

VIVA AFGHANISTAN

VIVA IRAQ

[MrTechnoman6006]

@aGrabTV You are the fucking devil have fun burning in hell

[2xKEWL]

@aGrabTV U FUCKING ASS...LOOKS LIKE SOMEONES MIGHT GET EXECUTED BY THE IRAQIAN ARMY

[MrDjay619]

@TheDynoSoar no battlefield doesn't because it's very slow paced war isn't slow paced it's very fast especially to them cuz they're getting shot at so even though i don't want to make this about a game i think cod represents a battlefield(in actual war) better than battlefield itself

[TheDynoSoar]

go play battlefield if you want realistic... or arma

[skullythebloger]

@TheDynoSoar

your saying those are more realistic than a military made training simulation......

[360deeman]

@multialieninvasion I'm sure you were in Iraq and have PTSD, I did go to Iraq, and I did receive a purple heart. Please don't yell at me with grammar that looks like a 2 year old slamming on a keyboard. PTSD is something that has existed since the first war. Modern soldiers don't need anymore pampering then Vietnam vets or Marines in WWII

[unc3unc3unc3baby]

ghetto version of arma 2

[iceceemsamich1324]

they should have made treyarch and infinity ward make this......

[therockerninja]

Im sorry but thats fucking awsome.

[keenemontgomery]

looks like a wii game

[360deeman]

I don't understand PTSD, soldiers are so afraid of being killed that in a stressful situtation they get trauma? It's funny because we die a little everyday and death is only a calming and peaceful thing.

Someone please explain how you get PTSD.

[MultiAlieninvasion]

how bout u shut the fuck up and go to iraq and witness the fucking shit they do. u computer fucking nerd go fight for ur country. have u ever seen ur best friend get shot kid? have u ever seen little kids dying body parts every where blood on u and on walls. explosions every min gunshots worryin bout ur back every moment. that shit sticks with u. the haunted dreams and visions. the people u kill come haunt u. u never had this happen to u. so u dont fucking no. little shits like u get me angry

[Born2kill2891]

@360deeman It's basically when you experience a traumatizing experience, my uncle was in an Army division during World War 2 and he had a platoon of about 100 guys, and every single man died in that platoon except for him, and my other uncle was in the Vietnam War and saw mass murders, and he also got PTSD. It is mostly seen in veterans returning home from combat, you don't see people getting their limbs blown off and people getting murdered everyday, when you see stuff like that, you get PTSD.

[mathieuemi666]

English is not my native language. Coming to watch that video I thought "well, the subject seems good, let's see what it is about."

And then I heard the most boring voice of 21th century!!

[xforyourinformationx]

just a game

[xXQiKsOpz4LiFeXx]

hey kids heres the new Mw3! what the fuck is this shit

[Zero7evenX]

PTSD, trauma, the type of trauma that causes the onset of Panic Attacks, is usually down to (especially in war vets) exposure to highly intensive stressful situations that the mind can't cope with (think about) at the time. so then they're left with a hard copy of the immediate situation deeply rooted in their memory banks that they're actually unable remember because the mind locks out bad memories. They're unable to think about the memories and move on (heal)

That's what this video is about.

[Sputnik966]

@Zero7evenX nerd

[Zero7evenX]

@Sputnik966 Take a closer look at my face you sad little prick. I'll ram a nerd up your arse.

[Madfizzle]

@mkdulaney FFS take a chill pill dude. It's just a game and that's that. No need to get your periods over it -.-

[QuIcKScOpEr4LiFe]

there's no such thing as a game that can simulate a real life and death experience that our men and women face in the armed forces around the world.

If people think this is therputical it's not for all they know most soldiers come back and nearly want to kill themselves after what they've seen and done.

War is NOT a game and is not to be toyed with, why can't they understand what really happens over there and no movie or game or video could show that unless you talk to someone who was there.

[hunterziegelmann]

If they use insurgency it will be more realistic :D they only need to add vehichles and have people payed to play as insurgents.

[seventyfourninjas]

Is this on the wii?

[IntstantRameninacup]

2:30

...what the hell was that? I've never been shot, but I'm pretty sure I'd do a little more than just grab at it like it aches a little. -__-

[tennespeedy]

Overeducated, diluted fucking morons.

[Gamewinningkillcams1]

How is remembering the pain, suffering, and loss of losing a friend in combat and watching people die, feeling like you are there, supposed to help someone get over this? This isn't therapy, this is hell for those who fought and are feeling like this, if i was a victim, i would never go back to that nightmare that i witnissed. What the fuck are you trying to do?

[KrazyKommieKiller]

I hardly believe anyone could mistake this as similar to reality. However if it can help our boys out it's at least worth a try.

[v1ct0rR1v3r4]

why dont they work with the big game developers to create a better reliving experience?

[pokejon13]

hey theres a name for the game call of duty...

[onlyadot]

full spectrum warrior ended up being rejected for "not being realistic enough". Bohemia Interactive did the job the military wanted these guys to do, I'd like to see something about that.

[denvarhawks]

this is fucking retarded

[CamperCarl00]

It's Infinity Ward's new game

Call of Duty: Operation Desensitize

[Forerunner971]

COD is more realistic

[SuperKing613]

@Mezzaaaaa how would you know loser

[freashboy15]

i rather play COD THAN this

[TwigsInc]

Wow, the reaction to getting shot was beyond real. I mean just the way he didnt react at first, then the way he calmly grabbed his wound. This truly is the future.

And yes I aware this is based on an original xbox game so it looks abit shit. But STILL. God damn.

[halohell57]

Lie to me

[ZzRvXzZ]

Ok ok ok wait, english isn't my frist language... so... at the beginning you said "a clinical phsycology state U.S.E named skip reeso" ?

[b4sshunt3rgg]

Are u boy or a girl... ?

anyaway... this is bullshit....

but this video was good for english training

[xGothicBloodx]

This game has horrible graphics.

[Blobface07]

@xGothicBloodx Fuck off. It's NOT a game.

[xGothicBloodx]

@Blobface07 Fuck you. It's being SARCASTIC, you Blob face. The title specifically says its not a game, yet i still called it a game, deal with it.

[Blobface07]

@xGothicBloodx lol

[JordanSmithThaDancer]

so its like the sims meets call of duty ?

[alangley1999]

try playing black ops

[Contorix]

@alangley1999 try playing battlefield bad company 2... much more releastic

[ZzRvXzZ]

@alangley1999

Black pos sucks.... only 10 ... or 16 years old kids play this shit, in 1 minute of playing this game you spent around 10000 rounds. and run around 1000km

[WillWriteYourSongs]

Oh I get it, lets treat traumatic issues, by exposing the subject to the EXACT same trauma, and then say shit like "its like a band aid" so they feel that their trauma is about as valued as a piece of sticky plastic and gauss.

[R0wCrier]

ther is nothing wrong with call of duty, why does every one automatically think that it's supposed to be realistic. i don't play it, but really, grow up

[gangsterguy25]

Not A Game........ lmao

[isokessu]

"it's not a game! it's not a game" -.- wtf OF COURSE IT'S A GAME! Everything what looks like this is a game, Simulators are games!! That bitch is so annoying and stupid.. Btw this is more like some random game than a simulator because simulator should simulate real life so it needs max graphics and physics, sounds A.I and all. Only what simulator does not need is music but good music can't be bad thing..

[EasterGhost]

2:48 HL2 SMG!!!

[shadowwiz20]

COD OF THE 22ND CENTURY!

[nosupa]

I wonder if people in Iraq ever known or wanted to play Call of Duty Black Ops? hmmm.

[QuadfishTym]

So if we can stop talking about Blops/Crysis for 2 seconds...

I'm still not entirely clear on how this helps people disassociate their experience from their current life. It seems as though it almost tries to make them bored of it, but that seems like it would be difficult since your brain would naturally start to feel actual fear again with enough sensory input.

Seriously though, it's a video about a therapy treatment. You commenters are making everyone on the internet look stupid.

[bobslayer1881]

try the cry engine 3?

[alex054739]

@bobslayer1881 Never seen the cry engine 3:/

But I have seen Cry Engine 3.

Or they changed the name?

But Crysis is like robots, not robots but super human xD.

Use Arma 2 for training! ;'D

[bobslayer1881]

@alex054739 cry engine 3 isnt complete yet. will be soon for crysis 2 coming out soon

[alex054739]

@bobslayer1881 Yeah, I saw it it sickkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk



[Kevn3000]

this game sux

[DanielDFizzle]

@Kevn3000 its not a game you tard

[netbeh]

lol this is a bf2 mod

[mkdulaney]

@Silence6061 ....... WOW, surely your not American talking like that to a Soldier who risked his life for his country. God don't like ugly, and that my friend was probably the ugliest comment anyone has ever said to me, especially when you refer to "Serving my Country"... I'm glad I had a chance to fight, so you have the opportunity and freedom to get on your computer a say what you feel. Too bad your were born....

[ikaninjau2]

@mkdulaney black ops is more realistic than real life IDIOT, lols

[mkdulaney]

@ikaninjau2 ....... Wait a minute. You just called me an IDIOT, after you proceeded to inform me that a fucking video game was more "REALISTIC" that "real life"....... Are you fucking serious, are you really that God-damn stupid. Read that shit back to yourself. You, my friend, are the damn IDIOT. There's no such thing as being more realistic than real life. I can't believe the caliber of human beings that are allowed to walk free in this country. You should be "PUT DOWN" for even saying that.

[ikaninjau2]

@mkdulaney sorry i was joking i meant to make that clearer, but thank you for serving in our country my big bro is too and ive been in paintball when ur only fear is inpending pain but real life is death im sorry i didnt make it clearer is was a joke

[ikaninjau2]

@mkdulaney so no hard feeling, ok?

[WildCatCoyote]

@mkdulaney I think its for people who are REALLY fucked up.

[marinecor2332]

@mkdulaney i know i mean this all bull shit no videogame will be able to capture the fear of me and 4 other guys being pinned down by more then 10 insurgents or the relief when a returning squadron of A-10's hears you requesting fire support on the radio and demolish them for you. when i find a video game that will do that i will buy 100 copies

[jcfrazier]

jc.frazier

If your interested in seeing VRET Iraq, shoot me an email @ jc.frazier@yahoo.com. Not only do I work with the developers, I am a combat vet, injured in Iraq while serving with USMC. If you dont like it after you see it, thats cool. But if you never try it with the headset on, then you realy cant experiance the true effect. No pressure!!!

[marinecor2332]

@jcfrazier if you cans end me a message back from a REAL marine then meybe ill consider a polite fuck you

[jcfrazier]

@marinecor2332 Good morning.I refuse to go back and forth and bring myself down to your level as clearly, there are issues that you are still doing with. I am offering you an opportunity to view what we have and provide real life experience as a subject matter expert into our products instead of slamming these programs with the stroke of a key stroke. 

[marinecor2332]

@jcfrazier i slam your program with the stroke of a nine iron, you can not create a virtual reality of fear you cant make the scent of fear in a video game you cant smell or hearr or feel the ground shake from mortar fire coming at you you CAN NOT recreatew the shit ive been through and i would appreciate you asking but i said no once, now i will give you that when you messaged me i was having a bad day and i apogilize for the slander

[jcfrazier]

@marinecor2332 Again,I extend our invitation to you to take a first hand look at this program. If you're truly interested, my e-mail is; JC.Frazier@yahoo.com. It would at least be a free trip to LA.

[marinecor2332]

@jcfrazier Again, I extend my invitation to suck my dick fist hand. If you're truly interested'. It would at least be a free trip to Kansas

[MrDeathkiller123]

@mkdulaney It is for people with p.t.s.d

[uri112189]

@mkdulaney So True

[Zero7evenX]

@mkdulaney Its about triggering memories mate, tapping into the subconscious where the trauma is rooted.

These boys that come home with progressive worsening PTSD, constant flash backs, constantly shaking, suffering chronic sleep deprivation, hallucinating, speech impediments etc. would be greatly affected by those types of memory triggers, she said it in the video "even someone putting their hand in their pocket can trigger a memory"

Its like a cognitive therapy, it's obviously not for you.

[acecombat2240]

is this from kuma games

[BRARONproductions]

How the fuck is this therapy???? All this is gonna do, is make them depressed and suicidal from seeing all their teammates die again!

[WARTOWNVOZE5]

It looks like Nintendo 64 Graphics

[gameplaya117]

The answer, Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead.

[figaro2hotforU]

Cool when the game is on stores?!

[CAPTA1NSNOWMAN]

at least make the graphics realistic

[franky1l]

how is making them experience that hell again gonna help them???

[Jaiden11]

2:25 Those soldiers really are fearless heh? Not even moving an inch while they're getting shot at... not until a bullet actually gets to them.

[coopercrue]

at the end there was a piece missing from the m4

[Raymondmcf]

This is such a bad simulation, sombody get activision on the phone

[conspiritor2]

What a stupid game...

[uratoko]

graphics suck...

[killman11kill]

can you rely die

[k3ym4st3r]

Did she say "The work of Pavlov and his dogs???"

[GamingsecretsTV]

@k3ym4st3r Yes do you know who Pavlov is?

[k3ym4st3r]

@GamingsecretsTV Nop, I know he won a nobel prize...

[Madmetal24]

Christ no wonder people are depressed, this narrorator makes anything sound sad.

[Treacy7]

So really upgrade the graphics :/

[shine118]

They should let them play Battlefield Bad Company 2, Why?

A: Much better graphics

B: More realistic

C: They will have a better time

[zxAMBULANCExz]

@shine118 They'll get to Iraq: "WHERE THE FUCKS THE CONTROLLERS!?"

[dAKarkoloAb]

whar the hell did i just watch?

[littlejay123]

try again with the frostbite engine.

[ResiusOnline]

@littlejay123

The frostbite engine isn't able to reach the same level of realism and size of maps.

The frostbite engine does have better graphics though...

@BlairSantos

Black Ops is SHIT.

[tyu632]

@littlejay123 yeah i mean, this looks fucking terrible XD

[Daydragon1234]

can you shoot the bad guys in here? id love to play this haha. kill them all with my buddies :D

[TheOKTerrificable]

I wonder what FPS game engine they borrowed to make this?

[JapanBandit]

Or you know....they could just use ARMA 2/VBS 2.

[dAKarkoloAb]

@JapanBandit i know lol

[eenayeah]

1 acronym, WTF.

[FuckinFirstRecon]

BUT, I would like to play the situations ive been in on a game though.

[FuckinFirstRecon]

You cant simulate war, you can try really really hard. but you cant re-create the feeling, this is shit. I prefer COD anyway.

[eggrollman24]

just play cod lol that help them ! XD

[stu2798]

when the guy gets shot in the the shoulder he's like:

darn. Im gonna die. oh well. cya later steve.

and the other guys like:

aww dude bummer. lemme check that. oh yeah. your gonna die.*sits back in chair*

[Bubblapojken]

hahah budget.

[Balkongmonstret]

mw2 :o

[zanematt]

Oh ya cause when you get shot and you look at the guy next to you and don't move

[kevtrancinema]

Those graphics look sooo real! not -_-

[awhitler55]

Modern Warfare 3.

[wadsawthemajik]

You would think the US government would have enough money to make it look like it wasn't 15 years ago...

[crazyflip69]

this is fuking stupid...its not a game? but its a game? wtf

[SASHKO71998]

cool how before the dude got shot in the humvee,the guys were really calm...

[MEANmadMATT]

1:51- is that a dead horse???

[SASHKO71998]

@MEANmadMATT

Yes it is ...

[moonmic4]

[BlairSantos]

[Born2kill2891]

@BlairSantos Hooah! Huah fucken rahh baby!

[BlairSantos]

@Born2kill2891 ???

[Born2kill2891]

@BlairSantos Call of Duty Black Ops is way better tha nthis, this is going to bring trumas and ptsd back.

[BlairSantos]

@Born2kill2891 jajaja, true...

[SgtDamien]

@BlairSantos lol yeh becuase blackops represents the modern day iraqi war

[MrBlooDudette]

@BlairSantos Thats not even set in iraq

[RNRSoldier]

@BlairSantos you mean bad company 2. call of duty sucks

[AvtomatPruneJuice]

@BlairSantos you mean black crap the one that came out more than 5 years after this

cod is absolute bullshit

full spectrum in the 1st place was supposed to be a combat simulator

combat simulator:

Battlefield (to an extent)

Red orchestra

ArmA

Arcadey shitty shooters:

Call of duty

[BlairSantos]

@AvtomatPruneJuice Ok, whatever, I don't care, my point was that if that crappy simulator like that could work than maybe other modern FPS could probably work also...

[PixieStixxandAdderal]

@BlairSantos CoD Black Ops is just not fun.

[PDXland37]

@BlairSantos what is your gamertag

[WolfytheWolf5667]

@BlairSantos

...you don't go to Iraq. You go to vietnam.

Good try though.

[MrKen2501]

@BlairSantos except black ops is ghey

[malofa99]

@MrKen2501 Games don't have sexual preferances, dumbass.

[MrKen2501]

@malofa99 lmao kid don't get your panties up in a wad just because I make fun of your favorite video game.

[malofa99]

@MrKen2501 My favorite game (series) is Resident Evil, I honestly don't play Call of Duty. So, I reiterate; games don't have sexual preferances, dumbass.

[junkrat1]

@BlairSantos lol, please stay to blackops we dont need COD noobs like you
