Soldier Warhammer World
What year do you think we'll be in before we see stuff in our world like in halo? Mass Effect? Warhammer? etc.?
I think a game like GR: Future Soldier, is like they said so, between 15 to 20 years away from current date. Halo although it is set in 2552, seems to me about 70-100 years away, although the whole SPARTAN thing in my opinion doesn't seem to advanced or out of the ream of possibility, so I am gonna say that SPARTAN program from Halo is around in the next 30-40 years. Mass Effect to me is really advanced, like Star Trek/Wars future, so that seems about 200-300 years away. The stuff you see in Warhammer 40k is like 500 all the way to 1000 years away from our time.
These are just guesses, but please feel free to input your answer/guess about how far away WE are as a civilization from these games/fictional universes
Those games are science-fantasy, they're not based on actual scientific concepts; the technology is either near-impossible or not practical so none of this technology will ever exist.
Star Trek is a prime example: they have teleporters but never think to use them as weapons (displace a warp drive just 1/10th of a millimeter and a ship will blow up), they have anti-grav but they carry things by hand, they have force-fields but none of the crew ever protect themselves with personal force fields, they have robots but never use them for anything at all, they have virtually limitless supplies of energy but still switch the lights off to save power.. and the list goes on and on.
Don't even get me started on 40K, some people take it way too seriously.
In reality, by the time we have spaceships capable of traveling around the solar system (interstellar travel is probably impossible) warfare - if it still exists - will all be carried out by robotic missiles, drones and orbital weapon platforms, there will be no more human soldiers since everything will be done by remote control.
To give you some idea of how far science-fantasy warfare is from real-life warfare, when the British navy built the first steel warships, wooden warships became useless and every other navy on Earth became obsolete almost overnight. Technological progress is never very romantic.

| | Dark Elves (Warhammer) $62.13 In Games Workshops Warhammer Fantasy fictional universe, the Dark Elves are a race of harsh, warlike and vicious Elves. Unlike Dark Elves in most of modern fantasy fiction, Warhammers Dark Elves do not dwell underground, nor are they darkskinned; instead many of them are pale skinned and have raven black hair. They call themselves the Druchii in most Warhammer fiction books. They live in the land of Naggaroth. The Druchii are cruel, sadistic raiders with much disdain for all other races, especially their lighter kindred the High Elves.

This was Jules Verne's vision for a moon voyage in 1865. He envisioned men sitting inside a cannon shell which is fired from a huge gun at the moon. We know now, of course, that no gun can be big enough to do that. And if they tried the men inside would be squished to jelly. Not to mention there was no provision for breathing in space... basic laws of physics were violated at every turn. But Wait! Put yourself back in 1865, enchanted with this exciting glimpse of an exciting future and ask yourself, "How long until they *really* fire a cannon shell holding people at the moon?"
I think you know the answer.
The video games you mention are great fun. They're also compelling in their view of the future. Unfortunately, these games were dreamed up from scratch out of the heads of writers, not scientists. They, too violate the basic laws of physics at every turn. But, so what? Play them, enjoy them and dream. That's *not* our future, but hey, they're still fun.
