"(CNN) -- There's a lot of talk among gamers who plan to go covert in March with Tom Clancy's "Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow." But considering it's just a game, let's steer clear of the hush-hush talk this once.

All kidding aside, Ubisoft didn't play games when developing this special operations adventure. So many volunteers showed up at the company's development studios outside Paris, France, that officials had to turn some of them away.

All in all, these volunteers spent more than 700 hours fighting and racking up more than 38,000 casualties --virtual ones of course. What's all the excitement about? The anxious volunteers were testing new online multiplayer mode for "Pandora Tomorrow." "
