[And then, his grin turns into a frown as he considers how to answer Taako’s question.]
They set up the real war because humanity was having a real one against some genocidal aliens. In that war, the entire human race could have been exterminated, if we lost.
So secret government projects were created to fight the war.
One of them was Project Freelancer. It worked with AI, supersoldiers and armour enhancements.
And to test those armour enhancements and to train the AI-equipped supersoldiers, Freelancer set up war games between groups of soldiers that weren’t capable of fighting in the real war.
Then they sent Freelancers down into those war games so they could practice their skills and experiment with their enhancements.
Eventually, that was supposed to culminate in the Freelancers fighting the aliens and winning the war but before they could, another project did.

And so, it was all for nothing.
[Angrily:]
Biff’s death was for nothing.
