China creates online game to train its military forces

According to the China Daily’s report Chinese People’s Liberation Army has created an online military game called “The Glorious Mission” to train its soldiers in combat skills and technological awareness.

It is a first-shooter online game allowing players to participate in individual or group missions. The game, which features PLA weaponry and realistic battle scenarios, took 32 months to develop, the newspaper reported.

"I think it is possible the game will be made open online for Chinese military fans to download and play," an unnamed PLA publicity officer was quoted as saying.

The final version of the game was launched on June 20.
