A military exercise or war game is the employment of military resources in training for military operations, either exploring the effects of warfare or testing strategies without actual combat. Exercises in the 20th century have often been identified by a unique codename in the same manner as military operations. The S-125 Neva / Pechora (Nato designation SA-3 Goa), is a system of surface-to-air missile used for air defense designed by Aleksei Mikhailovich Isaev to complement S-25 and S-75 . It has a shorter effective range and altitude lower attack than their predecessors and also flies slower, but due to its two-stage design is more effective against more maneuverable targets. It is also able to hit targets flying lower than the previous and being more modern systems is much more resistant to electronic countermeasures that the S-75. The 5V24 (V-600) missiles reach around Mach 3 to 3.5 in flight, both stages are powered by rocket engines for solid fuel . The S-125, as the S-75 , used by radio command guidance. The naval version of this system has the NATO designation SA-N-1 Goa and the original designation M-1 Volna (Russian Волна - wave). The Armed Forces of the Republic of Poland is the name of the military forces of Poland . The name has been used since the early nineteenth century , although it can also refer to earlier formations. Polish Armed Forces consist of the Army of the Republic of Poland (in Polish : Wojska Lądowe RP), the Special Forces of the Republic of Poland (in Polish : Wojska Špeciálne RP), the Polish Navy (in Polish : Marynarka Wojenna RP) and the Air Force of the Republic of Poland (in Polish : sily powietrzne RP), and are under the command of the Ministry of National Defense (in Polish : Ministerstwo Obrony Narodowej). SZ RP are military nationals Poland . WP This name has been used since the early nineteenth century, but can be applied to other periods of their ancestral history. By 2009, Poland had the twenty first in military spending according to SIPRI . Polish soldiers have been deployed within the framework of the operations of the NATO in Iraq and Afghanistan ; Likewise in the course of their actions at least 23 Polish soldiers have been killed in acts of service in Iraq between 2003 invasion of Iraq and the withdrawal of Polish forces in 2008.

Battlefield Hardline is now three months old and I thought it would be the perfect time to revisit the multiplayer aspect of the game. While not a totally different experience by any stretch of the imagination, it does play considerably different since I last talked about the multiplayer. To catch everybody up with my relationship with the game's multiplayer, I can say it's been lacking. My favorite game of 2014 was Battlefield 4 on the PS3 and PS4. I played the hell out of it and still jump back in on occasions. I clocked in a staggering 236 hours into that games multiplayer, which is a huge accomplishment. I rarely play any game that much, it was literally an addiction. So I was super excited for Hardline, I couldn't wait to get the next installment of a game I truly loved. I have played Battlefield Hardline for an unbelievable 44 hours. I was truly having fun with the game at first. But once I played more and more, the less I was into it. Now don't get me wrong, there's nothing technically wrong with the game and it plays perfectly fine. It's just not Battlefield. Which became a huge turnoff. So I simply stopped playing. I went onto greater things like Bloodborne and The Witcher 3. Now I do stand by my original opinion on the game, it still is fun to hop in and play a match or two and the cops and robbers theme is nice. But the core experience wasn't fun anymore. It felt like mindless shooting and felt like the other big shooter in gaming. So now that we are caught up, let's talk about the current state of Battlefield Hardline. JUNE 16th - Battlefield Hardline has been patched several times and has had one major patch since it's launch. It's first DLC entitle 'Criminal Activity' has also released, including four new maps, five new guns, and other goodies. So the major patch that released a few weeks ago balanced a bunch of things and fixed noticeable bugs in the game. You could definitely tell what guns were nerfed and which ones kind of stayed the same. There aren't really any bull crap kills with SMG's from across the map with the one shot headshot glitch. Conquest got it's ticket count raised, which was one of my biggest complaints with the game's release. Matches now take a decent amount of time like Battlefield matches should, at least in conquest anyways. Criminal Activity thankfully admits to what Hardline is and it features all close quarter fast paced action. The new four maps are actually pretty good and I would say are better than a lot of the vanilla maps. There is also a new mode called Bounty Hunter, which is Kill Confirmed from Call of Duty. And it freaking works, especially with the new maps. I finally feel like this is what Hardline is and should have been from the start. Stop trying to please everybody and just be a close quarter Battlefield experience. I can't wait to start leveling up and sinking hours of playtime into the new maps and mode. The new guns are also fun to use. The SG 510 being the best in my opinion and the KSG-12 being a huge surprise. Overall Criminal Activity is a stellar map pack that has definitely got me interested in playing more Battlefield Hardline. Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/9070466

Last year's addition to the NBA 2k series was spectacular. It was difficult to imagine what more can be added to the game to make it even better. But the game developers were able to deliver, giving us the best NBA game ever created. NBA 2k16 has seen a lot of improvements, making it the best basketball simulation game yet. If you're a huge basketball fan like me, then you should definitely check the game out and see for yourself how close to real life your gaming experience gets. Perhaps the most notable difference is the improve AI defenses. The previous iterations of the game employed pretty poor defenses. You can zigzag your way through the lane for a quick bucket. It seemed as though all you had to do was make circles with your joystick until you get past your defender. But in 2k16, it's a lot harder than that. Simply making random moves would usually lead to turnovers or bad shots. There are also plenty of changes when it comes to game controls. Double-tapping the buttons allow for a variety of fancy plays, from throwing alley-oops to dishing no-look passes. The post down move is now on L2 and it's more intuitive than ever. You no longer have to wait for the animation to settle before you can execute your signature post-up game. Of course, it also pays to mention that NBA 2k 16 is the best-looking basketball game, bar none. So much attention has been placed into the tiniest of details of every player, coach, broadcasters and even fans watching in the arena. It's like you're watching a live NBA game! It would be interesting to see how much more the graphics will improve over the coming years. What's also great is that you have the option of playing the game in a myriad of ways. There are several game options, with some making a much anticipated return. But without question, the most popular game mode is MyCareer. You're probably familiar with this feature, but once you check it out, it would feel completely different. Follow an interesting storyline as you take an avid basketball fanatic into a worldwide superstar. And perhaps the best news is that technical issues and glitches are reported only by a minority of players. While the game still depends heavily on online servers, you don't have to worry about huge problems that would get in the way of your gaming experience. Visual Concepts deserves mad props for creating such a complete package of a game. Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/9271050

UPDATE: The open beta began just a little while ago and it's extremely hard to find a match. The game somehow is running worse than the stress test beta I played a couple weeks ago and it also looks the same. Luckily there is one new map with the open beta. It's fairly big and probably my favorite mission of the three available. It involves your squad infiltrating an enemy base then following two transport vehicles to an evac spot. It has the most variety in gameplay from stealthily(or gun ho) attacking the K.P.A. base to playing defense while moving through a crumbling city. One thing I have to say is that the atmosphere in this new map is great and you feel in this world. That would have to be the best takeaway from this beta. I'm still looking forward to the assumed more fleshed out and beautiful looking campaign. ORIGINAL REVIEW: Guerrilla warfare is the name of the game here in the multiplayer cooperative beta for the long awaited sequel to Homefront. The beta brings two co-op missions available to play with three of your friends on three different difficulties. While I've only played on easy mode, I must say it is very challenging. I could only imagine what hard is like, but for the sake of playing through each mission, I played on easy. First up is graphics and performance. The beta doesn't look all that impressive, nor does it run well. But it is a beta, specifically a stress test. The actual beta doesn't start for another two weeks. I'm sure the technical issues will be fixed by the actual release date. The graphics here though aren't really jaw dropping. Things seems really washed out and textures don't add any depth to what's in the world. Character models also look a bit out dated. Now I definitely think this won't be representative of the single player graphics, which actually look very good. There are two missions that are playable in the stress test, I don't know if more will be added for the full beta or any other modes. I'm hoping for a full fledged competitive multiplayer like the first game had, but I won't hold my breathe. One mission sees you and your buddies going to check out what a K.P.A. Militia is up to near your hideout, then things get a bit sticky. You retreat back to multiple standoff points to give friendly A.I. a chance to escape and plant bombs on the hideout to destroy any information that could be useful to the enemy. This mission was pretty challenging at first and actually took teamwork, I died multiple times on this mission. The second mission sees your squad going on the offensive and charging in on a full fledge assault. Your goal is to hack certain things throughout a fairly large map, much more open than the first. There is even a vehicle segment that changes up the gameplay. Overall these missions were fun to play through and see to the end. But I honestly couldn't tell you if I want to go and replay them. I want to try them out on hard and unlock a few more weapons and attachments, but there's not enough in this stress test build that makes me want to spend time with it. I put in two hours with the two mission and am ready to move on. There are mini objective you can try to complete that are shown in the loading screens where you can earn more XP, but your team must be compliant. Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/9304218

As someone who has dabbled in the Halo franchise but never actually got into the games, I can say Halo 5: Guardians is a great game. It's campaign is thoroughly enjoyable and it has one of the best multiplayer experiences I've ever played. 343 has definitely delivered an exceptional first person shooter and a solid entry into the Halo franchise. In the midst of a super crowded holiday season, Halo 5 is a clear stand out from Microsoft and shouldn't be missed. Halo 5's campaign is a 15 mission story that takes you to many different locations and offers some good looking cut scenes. Unfortunately though the actual story is a hit or miss. Some missions feel like they have purpose and add to the story, while others simply don't. I feel like 343 could have told a very personal story through the manhunt between Locke and Master Chief, but they severely missed that opportunity. The story then becomes something much to hard to follow than it needs to be. Something dealing with Guardians and Cortona. I honestly couldn't tell you and I was already at a disadvantage with the story not having played the previous titles in full. I can say my enjoyment of the campaign wasn't hindered by the mediocre story, but it sure would have made it better. The best part about Halo 5's campaign is playing it. We get a wide variety of maps and levels. Every mission felt new and refreshing. Areas in the game were pretty big and allowed for some huge fights. I personally liked how they handled vehicles in the game. Some missions had them and some didn't, but it all felt intentional. They really nailed the gameplay. You also use a variety of guns, which also makes the play through more enjoyable. But overall Halo 5's campaign isn't anything to marvel over and is quite normal. Where Halo 5: Guardians does deliver, is in it's multiplayer. Arena boasts a unique set of playlist and a wide variety of maps that are sure to keep you entertained for months. The arena type of matches are something I never experience before now and I must say it's very refreshing. There are no loadouts or customization, instead you focus on core skill and your ability to perform well. I like that there are power weapons on maps that teams can fight for, but they never give a team a huge advantage. Matches play very quickly, especially with the new movement improvements to the franchise. Halo 5 definitely has the best core multiplayer experience I have played this year. Halo 5 also introduces a warzone multiplayer game mode. It's very reminiscent of Titanfall and I didn't really enjoy it all that much. There's 12 versus 12, friendly and enemy AI, events, and objectives. Sadly it never feels good or fun to play. Requisition cards are earned by just playing any type of multiplayer and can be used to equip certain weapons or spawn vehicles. While it certainly adds more variety to the game mode, it doesn't save it from feeling very lousy. I'll stick with arena. Overall Halo 5: Guardians is a fun game and walks the line of being truly great. Unfortunately the game features a very short and mundane campaign and a failed new multiplayer gamemode that has been very hyped up. But arena is an absolute blast and very addicting, it should please any competitive shooter fan.

India is one of the world’s greatest emerging powers today. Its economy is growing rapidly and its military is one of the largest in the world, with over a million soldiers. India sees its nuclear weapons capacity to be an integral part of its vision as a great power, and its nuclear program is important for both its prestige and security doctrine.Yet, India’s nuclear weapons program has not been free of controversy and criticism. India is not a signatory to the nuclear non-proliferation treaty (NPT), and is not one of the five nuclear weapons powers the treaty recognizes. India’s nuclear tests in 1974 and 1998 led to criticism and even sanctions. Since then however, sanctions have largely been lifted and the United States had quietly accepted India’s possession of nuclear weapons so long as India does not carry out further nuclear tests, though officially, the United States has not recognized India as a nuclear weapons state. This has also led to many claims of double standards on the part of the United States for making exceptions for India—including getting the Nuclear Suppliers Group to agree to a waiver on export restrictions of nuclear materials for India—that have been granted to no other countries. This demonstrates the strategic importance of India for the West and the general global perception of its trustworthiness and stability. Here are five things you need to know about India’s interesting nuclear program. (Recommended: 5 Indian Weapons of War Pakistan Should Fear) Why did India build Nukes? Indian nationalist leaders speculated about the possibility of acquiring nuclear weapons even before its independence. India’s first prime minister, Jawaharlal Nehru justified this by arguing: “As long as the world is constituted as it is, every country will have to devise and use the latest devices for its protection. I have no doubt India will develop her scientific researches and I hope Indian scientists will use the atomic force for constructive purposes. But if India is threatened, she will inevitably try to defend herself by all means at her disposal.” The main impetus for India going nuclear, however, was China, which tested a nuclear weapon in 1964. Two years prior, China defeated India in a short but decisive border conflict and relations between the two countries were subsequently tense. Taken together, Indian leaders felt that India needed nuclear weapons to counter China’s conventional superiority and defend Indian territory, some of which China was perceived to have occupied.

After a couple delays and a few years since it's announcement, The Division is finally here. I was never necessarily looking forward to this game, but boy am I glad I picked up Ubisoft's new game up. It's a third person open world shooter with fairly deep role playing elements, along with seeds of an MMO. There's a lot to take in here and while I'm not going to be going every intricate detail in this review, I do want to talk about what makes this game work and things that hold it back. The biggest take away you should get from this review is that the game is fun. Videos online don't do it justice, you have to at least try this game out if you're on the fence. Actually playing the game was a completely different experience than watching a video. Get it on Gamefly, Redbox, a friend, or just buy it; it's worth the price of admission. The mission and side mission structure have enough variety to keep stringing you along, that mixed with compelling semi-stat based cover based shooting calls for a fun time. I have put in about thirty hours with The Division and have completed all the main missions (some more than once) and am now working on side missions to get me to the "End Game" or level thirty. Missions have just enough backstory and narrative to feel somewhat relevant, but at the end of the day you won't really care or know what's going on. It's just not that interesting. Luckily for Ubisoft, the overall premise of the game should have loads of potential to tell some fantastic stories through DLC or future sequels. Side missions are all variants of each other that get pretty old after a while if you do many in a row. Sadly that's where I'm at. I completed all the main missions, the latter of those missions were with higher rank players that helped pull me through the missions, which were above my rank. This will segway to the co-op gameplay, it's a blast if you're playing with three other friends at the same rank as you. Yes, the same rank as you. If you are rank 13 with three friends that are rank 20, the game will cater to their level and leave you in the dust. You will do limited damage to enemies and usual get one shot killed. It's not really fun if you're in this position, but sometimes it could be necessary if you want to complete a high ranked mission. At least you can match make each mission to get lobbied up with same rank players. This is true for every aspect of the game. Gunplay is pretty exciting. Each class of weapons feels very different from one another, but most of the guns in those classes can feel similar. Though each gun has different pros and cons like recoil or accuracy. You can attach mods to your guns to help with different stats. There's enough depth in the gun managing to make you care, which is great in a game like this. You also have many types of grenades and bullet types. Cover combat is the core of this game and it works great, full with flanking opportunities and suppression options.
