I knew Hells Highway was going to be bloody but. . . .

I wasn't expecting peoples head to seperate! :? Check out that Nazi's leg seperating from the grenade blast. It's cool that they are keeping it authentic and not over doing it (hopefully), you know like soldier of fortune did. Here's a couple screens I snagged from a Gamertrailers video to illustrate.

There goes the realism of the BIA games. :roll: I guess Gearbox thought they needed teh Xtreme gorez! WWII games are sooo last gen anyways.BioShockOwnz

Of course, we've all seen the JFK pictures, but not every head pops like a melon with every gun shot. That's not realistic.

It's a nice feature, but to be honest... I was a bit disturbed by it. I mean, it didn't bother me when Locust or COG solders where chainsawed to pieces.. but this feels way different. It's gonna show an ugly side of war I don't think I've seen. But I'm gonna like this game. :)sinistergoggles

Yep but the devs are showing what war was like and i love COD but its never really shown us what war was really like.

Yeah I saw a video last night where this guy threw a grenade at a group of nazis (who didn't run away in time) and it cut to a mini cutscene where they show you a close up of a nazi getting half his head blown off.

Its with a sniper rifle though, most head shots with a sniper will tear a pretty big chunk off the head. I could understand if it was with a pistol but when you see a big gun give a headshot you don't just want to see a tiny blood spot.

How is that not realistic? Have you ever seen someone get shot in the head by a .50 cal or seen a grenade explode at someone's feet? The human body isn't able to withstand forces like that. That's actually very realistic.

Silly statement, how do you know Australia exists if you haven't experienced it first hand?

Click here for .300 caliber rifle against watermelon (start at 1:25)

Watermelons have the same basic consistency as the human head.

And the sniper rifle used by U.S. soldiers in WWII was the Springfield M1903 which fired a .03-06 round which is slightly larger than a .300.

its about time we have a ww2 game like this blood and gore is what ww2 is.

How about this, go to Iraq or Afghanistan, wait for a sniper attack, or IED. Then check out the victims and there damage, you will see blood and severed limbs and other things you probably couldnt imagine

no video game will ever portray war to anyone. ive never been and will never pretend like i know. They are merely, imo, trying to get rid of the nonchalant attitude that is attached to killing someone in video games. I have never been one to say video games are desensitizing America, but i think this will make it harder for parents to allow their little children to play this game. I think we can all vouch for how annoying it is to hear 6 year old kids playing video games that our parents would never buy for us.

I'm sure it depends on the caliber of the weapon you are using. I 9mm won't blow a head off, but a .45 and any of the higher grain rifles will. Unlike Call of Duty Modern Warfare you won't be able to survive a .50 cal round. One shot from a .50 cal will remove limbs, and if it is a torso shot it will cut you in half.

It's a nice feature, but to be honest... I was a bit disturbed by it. I mean, it didn't bother me when Locust or COG solders where chainsawed to pieces.. but this feels way different. It's gonna show an ugly side of war I don't think I've seen. But I'm gonna like this game. :)sinistergoggles

Well go back to GOW then Don't post in this thread but seriously if a grenade is thrown at your face be prepared to lose it.

guys....they're not going for realism with the gore in this game. It's entertainment. If the game was 100% realistic, it wouldn't be fun. Adding a gore factor makes it more entertaining. Who cares if it happens that way in real life.

Why are you sending back to GOW?

Well, that's what World War 2 was like.JohnnySN1P3R

That is what every war is like.

Yeah what is your reasoning behind that not being realistic?

It's a nice feature, but to be honest... I was a bit disturbed by it. I mean, it didn't bother me when Locust or COG solders where chainsawed to pieces.. but this feels way different. It's gonna show an ugly side of war I don't think I've seen. But I'm gonna like this game. :)sinistergoggles

Well said

Ok, this is REALLY pissing me off. Has ANYONE in this forum played ANY of the other Brothers In Arms games? You guys are acting like a leg flying off is a new thing. In "Road to hill 30" certain explosions did blow off arms and legs. But that was on the original xbox. With the 360, they can make it so everytime something truly brutal happens (ie. headshot, explosion) they give you a quick cinematic of it, zoomed in of course. The cinematic portion wasn't in the prior games, but the gore was. Obviously it has been touched up a little bit with graphical enhancements, but its not new. Gearbox did it with the other two Brothers In Arms games. As for realism, well that's close to realism, if you want to see what a grenade really does, your sick in the head. I've seen some close friends blown apart by car bombs, and trust me, it's nothing pretty. A grenade won't just blow off your legs, super hot shrapnel will cut right through your body, limbs will fly off, the person will most likely be disemboweled as well. Video game gore is fun, real life gore isn't.
