I think this one is the one where a player used the first aid knowledge learnt in game to save someone's life irl?

I remember a story making the rounds about that as well, waaay back.

Its not implausible. The medic training was pretty thorough compared basically any other video game ever, and if all you’re really trying to do is stop massive bloodloss ASAP, knowing how to dress a wound and apply a tourniquet absolutely can be the difference between dying before the ambulance arrives and not.

This was legit very popular for a while. It was even common in e-sports.

Oh man, was it version 2.1 or 2.4 that was the best? I think it was the one where urban assault was released. So many hrs playing until 3.0. There was a test to be able to play medic in the game. It taught basic first aid.

The training/intro sergeant sounded just like one of my actual sergeants.
