I heard from public radio that the U.S. Marine is using a custom map based on the Unreal engine to train marines to speak Arabic and learn about their culture. I'll look into it to see whether I can find more about the project and possibly get some screenshots...

Sneak Preview:

"To talk to the Iraqi, point the gun to his head and left-click."

"If an Iraqi is lying lifelessly on the ground, press [V], hover Taunt, select Pelvic Thrust"

"To talk to a group of Iraqis select Shock Rifle, point towards them,
right click, and left click when the blue blob is near them"

"To connect to an Iraqi select Link Gun, point to him, and keep the rightmouse button pressed".

:heee:

"Most of... these guys aren't going to sit in a class -- they've got
other jobs to do," she says. "This is a computer game -- and all
soldiers like computer games."
