Don't know about you guys, but "all Machine" warfare scares the hell outta me.
Isn't the latest "plot" for Call of Duty: Black Ops II supposed to be governments having an "All Drone" military, and then "someone steals the keys for it"?
No idea. I don't do FPS's. But the threat of warfare losing it's human cost and only being about what we can afford to throw at people is scary. The only real reason countries don't just go to war to solve all their problems is the cost in lives,and the inevitable outrage of their citizens from that cost. If you take that brake away, what is to get in the way of unending warfare, and hyper-increasing military budgets to fuel them?
As I recall, there was an episode of Star Trek (original series) called A Taste of Armageddon, where a civilization had given all its warmaking over to a computer, which ran simulations and then called for individuals to die. The Enterprise was visiting the system, and the crew was declared to have been killed in the war. Kirk and Co. naturally were not inclined to meekly go off to die, and in the end they blew up the computer, basically saying "Fight your wars yourself."
