>The U.S. Army and the Department of Homeland Security have created a computer-based simulator that trains teachers on how best to react in an active-shooter situation.
>It allows users to see through the eyes of a teacher, pupil, police officer or gunman.
>You can play as the gunman.
>The project is called Enhanced Dynamic Geo-Social Environment.
>EDGE
are they fucking with us?

Gameplay


>Classes.
>Races.
>40 players.
>multi-channel chat, with notes.
>The white board.
>All made by Homeland Security

it hasn't been three days and goty 2018 is already here
It is unironically fucking good.
Here are the features you are in for:
>40 players per match
>around 8 unique roles, each one with their own objective
>some have inventory, others (like the dispatcher) play from a GUI while issuing directions to other players
>fully interactive environment
>gameplay involves fire, players can set the fire alarm
>a functional elevator with 26 floors and simulated wait time
>body located damage (leg, foot, arm, hand, shoulder, lower torso, hip, head, neck, upper torso)
>you can get incapacitated instead of simply killed, and other players can save you
>shooting someone's leg makes them look injured and walk slower
>fire intoxication mechanic
>some players can help others evacuate
>NPCS to simulate students, which will interact to players that reveal weapons regardless of these being the school shooter or the law enforcement
>able to carry incapacitated people
>AK-47, 9mm and Pipe Bomb for suspect
>M16, Shotgun and 9mm for law enforcement
>vehicles ranging from ambulances to police cars to fire trucks
>the doctors have a bunch of mechanics and mingames that simulate triage and medical assistance they need to go through to save other players, including diagnosing the problem
>firefighters also have their own mechanics and minigames regarding firefighting, all meant to simulate a real life scenario
>fully functional water hose
>a "KNOX BOX" which the school shooter or the law enforcement can use to control the building's automatic systems and doors for strategic value
>law enforcement has a dispatcher to assign other players instructions
>there is a civilian role for you to fuck around and just watch the spectacle
>you can barricade doors and make defenses against the shooter
>just to remind you all 40 PLAYERS PER MATCH ALONG WITH MANY NPCS TO MAKE THE SCHOOL LOOK LIVELY
Are you ready for the homeland security's successful SS13 remake?
It has fucking ragdoll physics and shit for fucks sake

tl;dr: Homeland security makes a voice-mandatory 40 player school shooting simulator with weirdly in-depth mechanics such as roles (you can be the teacher, the student, the police, the dispatcher, a student, a civilian, the shooter, a firefighter, idk if I got them all) that can play like a whodunnit, as there's no indication which of the students is the shooter. Looks like a really fun game

It's currently not available to the public, downloads are only available at the moment for firefighters and shit. We're waiting on the leak/crack which will inevitably happen

Definitely can't wait to get a game in with you guys

A leak is extremely unlikely to happen. Speaking as ex-EMS. This kind of shit is under policy lock and key.

I know that Pk, I'm saying it won't get leaked from anywhere because of how strictly it's going to be monitored. The gubment allowing a school shooting simulator to be released publicly, even if someone does it illegally, would cause an outroar.

Well shit, that sucks. Looks like they're doing it with a central server and you must have a password+account with them to use it

That means that unless someone releases the code+server code for someone to modify and host, we're not going to get it

TFW the US Government is a better videogame developer than AAA studios.

Also they mentioned in one of the pages that they intend to convert it into an MMO-like infrastructure.

i'd imagine they wouldn't want this public specifically because of the "video games train shooters" meme because this is pretty explicitly allowing one person to simulate what would and would not work in a school shooting situation

that being said it'd still be cool to actually see what this is like in game, i have a morbid curiosity for training things like this

Yeah they do. Some need to be big and tough to penetrate bone such as to remove bone marrow. Some epinephrine syringes need to penetrate the ribcage to be injected right into the heart for maximum effect.

Oh and there's also the lumbar puncture needle which needs to penetrate your spinal column whose needle tip is as long as my hand.

This needle goes into your spine to drain a small amount of cerebrospinal fluid

Two epinephrine syringes, the one on the right is the one I mentioned earlier.

This needle is used to remove bone marrow, it's extremely painful if used without anaesthetic

Have jab and blood sampling needles become smaller over the years or did I grow up a pair?
What I posted are peripheral IVs. Needle is really just there to penetrate and guide the catheter into the vein. Larger gauges are generally not used in most cases as you go with what is needed for the job. A 14G would be used in trauma patients where you need blood transfusions. More commonly, 20G is used for the general purpose as most people don't need a large bore IV for fluids. If they do then they're likely not in the greatest condition anywho.

The needles you get blood work with generally are 21 or 22G, so they're small.

When I was in the hospital the nurse failed taking a blood sample with a needle no less than 10 times
In the end they just jabbed the tip of my finger and told me to bleed in a cup for a bit
