Join the PLA, destroy the US...

[codygjohnson]

all from the comfort of your PC:




According to a Chinese broadcast which was uploaded to Youtube last week the Chinese PLA of the Nanjing Military Region revealed Glorious Mission which looks and plays very much like a Call of Duty title. One big difference though is the enemy. Can you guess who the Chinese are going against in the title? Yep, the good old USA.

I'm not quite convinced that going to war with the US would resemble any sort of glorious mission. I mean, given the state of the world at the moment it's weird that the PLA would develop what is probably a government funded game with US forces as the rival. According to the Youtube description the title is meant both as a training tool and source of entertainment for PLA forces.

Glorious Mission will feature 32-36 player online modes, and a single-player campaign.

Dear China,

It's not exactly going to go the way your game predicts.

Before somebody gets all booty swole about this, ill say something. dont yall worry, this isnt gonna encourage chinese kids to want to go to war with the USA. we're their biggest customer. they get up and pray to Buddha every morning that the US has a strong economy.

LOL I guess they wanted an opponent that can give them some sort of competition. They chose correctly, perhaps a bit too correctly.

Not a big issue, we have made games for decades with Cuba, Russia, China, Iran, Afghanistan, Iraq, Korea, Japan, Germany, Italy etc. as the enemy. I think our global video game murder scale is far superior.

I often wondered how people would take someone else making us the enemy.

Another thing is the far east has an American fetish. The Japanese and Chinese seem to be pretty inspired by our culture and technological prowess.

True. I felt a little weird when I first heard about it a month or two ago, but how many PLA kids did I massacre in BF2 and Russians in MW2 and Noruas Koweans in Crysis and Hobos in GTA?






...1,425,847,289,461...that's how many.

Who's worried? Militarily the Chinese are a paper tiger, with the sole exception of cyberwarfare.

You can see it in the video when they're jumping onto a Black Hawk. Also, the J-10 (vaporware alert!) model they show off in the video is basically a tweaked copy of the F-16.

Dear China,

You may have seriously underestimated the number of bullets in out possession.

Seems like they lust for our women about as much as we lust for theirs....

At $3 / hr. they can't afford American women ...

Love that they stick their legs way out when they crouch.

Femoral hits FTW.

Does the game show many Americans that live between the coasts coming out of their houses and dropping PLA troops with their privately owned firearms?

Can't tell you how many Chinamen I've iced in Battlefield 2: Modern Combat.

Let 'em have it. It doesn't mean anything, it's just storyline for a game.
