Not a game, but a DARPA project applying persistent massivly multiplayer online gaming principles to training.
The goal of the initial three-year project is to start a paradigm shift in military training by providing a new kind of cognitive training experience for units and individuals based on continuously available wars. The program has two key areas: 1. scalable Last-Meter Training Systems (LMTS) that will train judgment and cognitive performance under stress . 2. A DARWARS Architecture to populate with, and link stand-alone LMT systems, combining real-time generation, maintenance, updating, and modification of the training war scenario. The DARWARS Program is under the direction of Dr. Ralph Chatham.

The objective of this project is to develop tools to support individualized language learning, and apply them to the acquisition of tactical languages necessary to accomplish specific missions.
The training system enables learners to communicate directly with on-screen characters using a speech recognition interface. The objective is to make the toolset easily applicable to new tactical languages, missions, and training contexts.
