Simulated war against terror: CoD4 vs. Forterra

Knowing immediately what to do when faced with real world violence can sometimes separate success from tragedy.

The ability for soldiers to make the right decision even in the most anxious of scenarios usually lies with the training they have received.

Even in today's complex threat environment, training is as important as ever. U.S. soldiers need to be as conversant in large-scale warfare as they are in micro-warfare as found in the war against terror. For this reason, it is now wonder that the U.S. government leans on Forterra System's new Asymmetric Warfare Virtual Training Technology simulator (AW-VTT) to train their troops.

Contrast the simulation (click on photo) put together by Forterra and Activision's Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. You will never complain about modern game graphics again!
