"Gore's story is set in a very dark future. The year is 2085, and chaos has become a way of life. Major cities are falling into ruin due to low fuel and no power, and street gangs have grown into predatory terror groups that control the streets. Governments the world over are in trouble. They need a new breed of soldier to establish order-fighters able to handle situations of extreme danger and violence. Enter the 'advanced combat training emulator,' a virtual reality training simulator that weeds out the mentally weak, and makes the best soldiers even better. Dubbed the 'Meat Machine' by the men and women who use it, the soldiers of the UMC 'plug in' to familiarize themselves with their weapons and train against enemies. For the soldiers of 2085, Gore is as real as it gets. In Gore, players can virtually combat deadly AI opponents on their own PC, or jump online for the ultimate challenge-live human foes. "
This is closer to the truth about the "Ultimate Soldier":
