Vous vous souvenez tous de la mémorable interview du Commandant Mitch qui avait déchainé nos amis CSeurs les plus fougueux. Dans cette interview il était question avec humour d’une simulation basée sur quake déstinée à entrainer les membres du GIGN.
Aujourd’hui c’est UbiSoft qui se prend pour le Cmd Mitch en déclarant que Rogue Spear est utilisé comme entrainement militaire aux Etats-Unis :
SAN FRANCISCO, CA August 29, 2001 Ubi Soft Entertainment has agreed to allow LB & B Associates Inc. to adopt the game engine used in the best-selling Red Storm game Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Rogue Spear™, to help train U.S. soldiers. The game engine will enable the Department of Defense army to train military personnel soldiers in how to conduct military operations in urban terrain. The engine, which was developed in Red Storm Entertainment’s North Carolina studio, will not be used for weapons training. Instead the government wants to use the high-tech system to help hone decision-making skills at the small-unit level.
“We’ve looked at all of the first person shooters on the market, and no game engine comes close to the realism of Tom Clancy’s Rogue Spear,” said Michael S. Bradshaw, Systems Division General Manager of LB & B Associates Inc.. “We need to train the elements of the small-unit on how to prepare for a mission, how to work as a team during mission execution, and how to conduct after action debriefs, and this engine will let us do that and more.”
