Crysis 2’s Engine Will be Training American Soldiers

Crytek's CryEngine 3 technology, which you'd know if you've played Crysis 2, is going to be used in a US Army training simulation to teach soldiers how to fight and endure various conditions in the field. It's a $57 million project, lets hope it's good. The program is called Dismounted Soldier Training System as you can see in the above video. The DSTS isn't just a simple console game or PC game simulator, but rather a complete experience to truly test your skills. Soldiers will have a vest and helmet for cameras and sensors along with a 10x10 foot pad for of course more sensors. A camera strapped to the soldier's helmet shows the virtual simulation up close. Along with the various conditions in the field, soldiers will also be able to simulate vehicle and aircraft control.
