Just what we need; more children in intelligence.

Thank God its no the CIA they're talking about. That organization is filled up with enough pansies already.

We got the skillz to pay the billz.

Seriously though, do they listen to XBox Live conversations... British Intelligence is one thing not shown!

This might work... One they invent a device we plug into our brain to play teh vidja games. Then we might actually need to jump and move and the like in order to be a secret agent. As of now....

Or Cider for me.

@Paul

Very few people show their intelligence on xbox live.

LOL play it on pc and you dont get lil 10year olds sayin' "OWNED BITCH" "PWNED A-HOLE"

pc is where the real gamers are at

OH! Does that mean we're going to see more James Bonds, oy? Ni-haha!

Uh...I don't get this at all. This just seems so stupid. Also when are people going to learn that just because you play a videogame with a gun in it does not make you an expert marksman?

The only thing that bothers me is, why didn't they try to recruit when Goldeneye or Agent Under Fire come out?

GoldenEye: Rogue Agent can't even train you to be a villain.

Ok, what I'm finding strange is that several posters are assuming that the reasoning behind this is that British Intelligence thinks that these games can "train" someone to be a spy, or that they may have some talent at spy work because of these games.

That's the worst kind of assumption. Its rather obvious that's not the case. They're simply placing ads where they know people will see them, albeit their placement may not make any sense at all within the context of the game itself.

@cppcrusader:

Agreed. The common denominator in all those games is that they're all designed to excite and get your blood pumping. They probably want to find people who are thrill-seekers.

That being said, I don't know how good of an idea it really is. I played Goldeneye to death and never felt the urge to be a real superspy, dodging bullets and whatnot. My body already has enough orifices, thank you.

I'm with cppcrusader, some of you are saying rather.... stupid things about this. Hell the way some of you are talking, I'm half convinced none of you have a clue what most intelligence work is.

Analysis of events, large and small, is most of the intelligence work. There is information gathering, some actual spying, then the shit we don't know about.

British intelligence is simply looking for intelligent, educated, and to an extent motivated people.

I doubt they are looking for candidates for NOC duty.

All I can say is: LOL WUT?

Yeah, I mean, do the Japs recruit MGS players?

I'm saying the CIA sucks. Seriously. When you leak your assignments instead of actually doing them, you are a fucking failure.

Now the NSA, there's somebody with some work ethic.

Well, well, things have certainly changed since my Gran's days at GCHQ.

hi, or should i g'day better than that is carefully worded h-e'l-l-o . i would like to participate of such a gamex-tatical theory of being reincruited within the environment of splinter cell eco-theisis british intelligence service , as i too my fellows of no game should be exspiernced untill life can be withdrawn from similulation. that and i feel very chiirpie as wi - fi information does leave more me for depressed and not to satircal about sarcasixm , well never at all toxic engaging with a healther outlook and apperance. just ask alll those with mentality simulcasted and health mental clininic much like" terra firma" and koonung dynsfunctionability, we could no longer better than the smaeity with better attitudes in life leaving all spec of city "dwelling " life and grundage there are more interesting eco-environment of>S

CIA can't violate a U.S. citizens rights. They have no jurisdiction inside the states. NSA and FBI on the other hand, can very easily do it. And if you want to do Splinter Cell type stuff, don't join the CIA, or NSA, or FBI. That's not what they do. The only people that come remotely close are the Army Special Forces (Green Berets). For more info go to your library and go to the non-fiction section and actually learn something real about it.
