Military simulation games are played by thousands of players around the world. The advancements in gaming technology allow for developers to create huge maps to facilitate an actual battleground. It all started with Battlefield. Battlefield series is known around the world for their huge maps in their games. These maps are so vast players need vehicles to go from A to B. Of course, EA the developers behind this made it all possible. Since the first Battlefield games we saw vehicles, these vehicles are numerous from planes to boats. However, this also allowed for some visionary people to come forward and create something more challenging. It is not for everyone. For example Call of Duty Modern Warfare took a more realistic approach and they might revert changes.
Battlefield title nowadays became a little bit more arcadey. Players can go into a bunker and eliminate enemies even with a katana. However, there are still huge maps and all kinds of vehicles. Battlefield gave birth to Project Reality. This project made the game maps much larger. So large that even with vehicles you needed a minimum 2-3 minutes to get into the action. Time-to-kill times were very short. Therefore players needed to play less aggressively. There was no chance for a player to run in an open field or jump into a bunker. Project reality was one of the first games that changed the scene.
