i remember reading (in Wired, ages ago, before i realised it was mostly
garbage :-) that the USMC had patched Doom to be a simulation of
building-clearing operations. it was a cheap and nasty sort of effort,
but
it was apparently far more realistic (in terms of the feel and tactics,
if
not the details) than the million-dollar studies done at fort knox and
so
on. basically, this was because it was almost impossible to stay alive
for
more than thirty seconds ...
