    Peter Kraska and Steven Chapman Militarization and Contemporary Video Gaming This project examines the influence of militarism, and the involvement of the U.S. military itself, in contemporary video gaming. The military’s involvement includes developing its own, free of charge, video game title used as a recruitment tool, employing a host of training games many of which are used to desensitize new soldiers to the war environment and the act of killing, and participating in numerous consulting and marketing activities associated with the most popular war-oriented games for mass consumption. Surrounding this direct involvement by the military is a massive and increasingly lucrative gaming industry that markets war and killing in a “realistic” yet intensely glorified manner. Aside from documenting and describing in detail this phenomenon, we examine the macro-cultural and societal implications of this phenomenon. Figure 1.1 – One Day Sales -- 2011 Context and Concepts For three years in a row, the number one selling entertainment product during its release period has been a video-game – surpassing even block-buster movies such as Harry Potter and Star Wars. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 recently made $775 million in its first five days in stores, and the Modern Warfare franchise has grossed more than $6 billion. Its central and apparently successful marketing slogan is: “There’s a soldier in all of us” (Snider, 2011). Of course what’s noteworthy to criminologists, is the type of game: extremely violent, highly realistic war environment, and one that glorifies killing and warfare. It takes only a superficial critical analysis to recognize that this game genre has tapped into an enduring and deep-rooted aspect of American culture – militarism; defined as an ideology that sees the use of militaristic force, or threat of force, as a desired means to solve problems, gain political power, or administer retributive justice.

  • How the U.S. Army Got Game Seemingly Trivial Innovations Can Have a Major Effect on Even Large Markets
    How the U.S. Army Got Game Seemingly trivial innovations can have a major effect on even large markets BY MICHAEL URLOCKER & ROGER SMITH Apple Inc. CEO Steve Jobs is famous for his flashy, headline-making introductions of innovative new products. While the iPod, and more recently the iPhone, generated a great deal of publicity right from the outset, many innovations are hardly noticed at first. In fact, often seemingly trivial developments can be harbingers of big change. When a small, regional airline began operating out of Dallas’s Love Air Field, no one foresaw that Southwest Airlines would fundamentally alter air travel. And when a guy started selling Pez candy dispensers on an obscure website, few imagined the impact eBay would come to have on a variety of industries. These stories of course are well-known to most everyone now, but few people are aware of an apparently insignificant event in 1995 that fits the disruptive pattern we’ve seen before. Working on a shoestring budget, a U.S. Marine Corps lieutenant and a sergeant had a radical idea: To try to alter the popular “Doom” video game, in which players use a variety of weapons to fight electronic foes, for use as a military training tool. The result was “Marine Doom,” a (by today’s standards) rather simple video game that could be used to teach soldiers certain skills at a low cost. The developers were hoping to find a way to boost training in an era of significant budget cuts and came up with a cheap, simple, and convenient—in other words disruptive—solution.

  • 4. Wargaming the Middle East: the Evolution of Simulated Battlefields from Chequerboards to Virtual Worlds and Instrumented Artificial Cities
    4. Wargaming the Middle East: The Evolution of Simulated Battlefields from Chequerboards to Virtual Worlds and Instrumented Artificial Cities Janina Schupp Abstract Shortly after the end of a tank combat during the Gulf War, a team of US Army historians, scientists, and engineers flew to Iraq to gather detailed data of the battle. The collected information was used to create an exact virtual simulation of the combat for training. The mapping capability – offered by the resulting simulation game 73 Easting – to visualize the battlefield from any position and point in time revolutionized military exercises. With ongoing conflicts in the Middle East, these digital training cartographies are now linked to real bodies and vehicles through digital and mobile technologies during live training in artificially constructed villages. This chapter analyses this evolution and critically investigates the growing ‘gamification’ ensuing in these representations of Middle Eastern battlefields. Keywords: Wargames, Middle East, interactive battlespace, live simulations In war the experienced soldier reacts in the same way as the human eye does in the dark: the pupil expands to admit what little light there is, discerning objects by degrees, and finally seeing them indistinctly. By contrast, the novice is plunged into the deepest night. […] It is immensely important that no soldier, whatever his rank, should wait for war to expose him to those aspects of active service that amaze and confuse him when he first comes across them. (Clausewitz 1989, p. 122) Strohmaier, A. and A. Krewani (eds.), Media and Mapping Practices in the Middle East and North Africa: Producing Space. Amsterdam: Amsterdam University Press, 2021 doi 10.5117/9789462989092_ch04 96 JANINA SCHUPP The act of playing at war is deeply engrained in human history and has per- sisted to the present day in both professional and hobby culture.

  • All but War Is Simulation: the Military Entertainment Complex
    1 THEATERS OF WAR: THE MILITARY-ENTERTAINMENT COMPLEX Tim Lenoir and Henry Lowood Stanford University To appear in Jan Lazardzig, Helmar Schramm, Ludger Schwarte, eds., Kunstkammer, Laboratorium, Bühne--Schauplätze des Wissens im 17. Jahrhundert/ Collection, Laboratory, Theater, Berlin; Walter de Gruyter Publishers, 2003 in both German and in English War games are simulations combining game, experiment and performance. The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) has been the primary proponent of war game design since the 1950s. Yet, commercial game designers produced many of the ideas shaping the design of military simulations, both before and after the advent of computer-based games. By the 1980s, the seeds of a deeper collaboration among military, commercial designers, the entertainment industry, and academic researchers in the development of high-end computer simulations for military training had been planted. They built “distributed interactive simulations” (DIS) such as SIMNET that created virtual theaters of war by linking participants interacting with distributed software or hardware simulators in real time. The simulators themselves presented synthetic environments—virtual worlds—by utilizing advances in computer graphics and virtual reality research. With the rapid development of DIS technology during the 1990s, content and compelling story development became increasingly important. The necessity of realistic scenarios and backstory in military simulations led designers to build databases of historical, geographic and physical data, reconsider the role of synthetic agents in their simulations and consult with game design and entertainment talents for the latest word on narrative and performance. Even when this has not been the intention of their designers and sponsors, military simulations have been deeply embedded in commercial forms of entertainment, for example, by providing content and technology deployed in computer and video games.
