Its like he said he improved his fighting skill by playing those UFC games.
On the other hand I think games like ARMA could be used for navigation and squad organization training (as they are already doing with VBS).

The only combat-skills you can pull out of MW/COD are pretty much target assessment and acquisition. And then only in a rudimentary way. There's very little about the games that have any real-world implications, and besides, remember that this lunatic attacked and killed unarmed kids/young adults at a summer-camp. There were none on Utøya that was a threat in any way, shape or form.

Breivik is using the games as a means of justification for his actions in an attempt to rationalize his insanity. Nothing more and nothing less.
