Hypnosec writes "The UK cloister of Defense (MoD) has begun updating its Battlespace2 and other fake to bring them in line with line wargames like Modern Warfare 3 and Battlefield 3.

With that in mind, the MoD has been investing heavily in what's known as 'Project Kite' (knowledge erudition test environment), designed to bring the background director to the forefront of soldierly shooters. Some of this is down to the current generation of new recruits having been raised on shooter titles from both the Call of Duty and Battlefield series. This means they've gotten used to high-quality first-person shooter games. Taking a step down in illustrations and immersion is hardly a way to train a soldier how to react in certain situations."
