Didn't I do this in some Metal Gear game?

Or the soldiers wait 20 minutes before battle for the textures to load in.

The Dismounted Soldier System was ordered to use two engines. The article doesn't mention that. The other engine being RV4 - which is VBS3 - which is the military version of Arma 3.

Dismounted soldier will only be deployed to a handful of units whereas VBS3 is deployed across the US Army to every soldier and every simulations center. VBS3 is the simulation that will really be used to train the Army as it penetrates to every level of training.

Oh look no further than the "Upcoming layoffs at MS" topic. It will easily top the Hottest of the week.

Special guests like Mr. Dead might also show up. You just watch.
