[QUOTE="AiurProtoss"][QUOTE="Messiahbolical-"]Maybe graphically, but the gameplay in COD sure as hell isn't striving for realism. Try taking 5 bullets in the back of the leg from a Mini-Uzi, then hiding behind a crate for 5 seconds and getting right back up and running across the battlefield like nothing happened. lol
If game developers want to make a realistic FPS they should make it so there's no perks or powerups, 1 bullet kills or at least wounds you to the point of no longer being able to continue battling, switching weapons and reloading actually takes time to put the other weapon aside or get the new ammo clip out, explosives kill you pretty much no matter what, etc etc .
Another thing that's terribly unrealistic about Call Of Duty games is that when someone is shooting from behind a wall or something you can only see a little bit of their head popping out... how the hell does that make sense? Shouldn't the bullets be hitting the wall? Is Infinity Ward implying that people shoot from their eyes? Because last I knew, when you're shooting a gun and something's right in front of you the gun(and your arms/shoulders) need to be above the object in front of you in order for you to shoot past it. Unrealistic.
Messiahbolical-
its a video game... *facepalm*
Exactly. And video games aren't EVER realistic. Thanks for helping prove my point.But that's the thing, we're talking about video games. There are video games that aren't striving for realism (e.g Timesplitters), then there are some that are (COD). Ofcourse it isn't going to try and be actually real, that'd defeat the purpose of video games (e.g we don't actually want to go through a boot camp and intense training and get shot once to die on the battle field) what some people want instead is a video game (ie NOT real), that strives for a realistic experience in the spectrum of video games. That's what we're referring to when we speak of realism.
And yes, some games are more real than others. So some games will include one shot kills etc.
Oh and btw, this is just semantics, I'm sure you could relabel it yourself and stay on topic. You can surely see the difference between a COD game and a Timesplitters game?
