It's useful, if done right, following actual tactics, missions, objectives, and with everyone playing by the rules. With the intent of building teamwork, practicing specific maneuvers, or rehearsing a mission (like a large sandbox walkthrough). But if you're just playing randomly with random other people, maybe not so much.
It just all depends upon how you're using it, who you're doing it with, why you're doing it, and what you're hoping to achieve.
Good exercise, good fun otherwise.

Rule of 3s
3 hours without shelter (to include clothing, hat, gloves, etc. as well as something like a tarp/poncho)
3 days without water
3 weeks without food
in teh short term, go light on food, ditch the cooking gear, know that you might be hungry and lose a few pounds, but overall you're going to survive easily without food, or very limited amount of ready to eat food, in a 3-5day pack.
Instead of food, focus on water, including collection and filtering, and on dressing for the environment (from the cold of night, to warmth of day, to dealing with rain and wind and snow). keep it simple, keep it minimal.

@NANA-lq5md Yes, but so does everyone else too, to b honest.
USAF still uses the U-2, F-117, B-52, F-15, F-16, A-10, F-5/T-38, C-130, C-5, etc.
Look at the E-2 and C-2 for the USN.
F-4 was only recently retired. Look how long the F-8, T-33, F4U, P-51, C-47, A-1D, A-26, Mig21, Mig17, and A-4s lasted in service around the world. Tu-95?
Look how long the MG42 family has been in service (not to mention its M60 descendant). 1911?
M113, CH-47 and OH-6 for the US Army?
CH-53 for the USMC?
2.5ton and 5ton trucks, Jeep, Humvee?

@ElkaPME exactly. but the point is, teh US will never fight the same way we see in Ukraine. But people are shocked to know teh US anticipated everything happening in Ukraine.
We used 4 different types of small drones in OIF/OEF, as well as multiple robots, and T-MAXX RC suicide cars in my platoon. Switchblade UAV was invented during OIF/OEF. US has used suicide drones in combat since WW2 (TDR-1).
The pentagon anticipated a return to trench and underground warfare years ago and published a report on it. I also tried telling guys trench warfare wasn't dead nearly 20yrs ago, and they all thought I was crazy. I spent a LOT of time studying WW1/WW2 trench warfare, as well as fortifications and more. I have an entire library of books perfect for the war in Ukraine, that I studied religiously 20yrs ago while I was fighting in OIF/OEF. I also studied Vietnam booby traps, and we did mines and such as combat engineers too.
Nothing these guys are describing is earth shattering nor unanticipated by US personnel and the Pentagon. We just employ our systems differently since we wouldn't fight like we're seeing in Ukraine, we don't get bogged down teh same way. But make no mistake, we have been developing the sort of fighting techniques used in Ukraine for decades. We found ways to improvise things in OIF/OEF and prior wars too.
Drone spotted artillery has been done by the US longer than I've ben alive in many wars. I've been shelled in combat, but our counter battery fire was so good they couldn't sustain fire unless they wanted to die. We also developed lasers and other point defense weapons in OIF/OEF to counter RPGs, Artillery and Mortar rounds midflight. Many of the counter drone weapons you see in Ukraine were developed by the US, UK, Israel years before Russia invaded, showing that we anticipated this.
