Ex army infantryman here, started off on as a m240B machine gun, heaviest weapon in an infantry platoon. It clocked in about 26pounds, with a tripod that weighed about 12pounds, and all the ammo that weighed a ton, had to have an ammo bearer with me to carry additional rounds. Now put on all your gear, your helmet, all your ammo and nades, your equipment vest, and then on top of that put on a 30 pound flak jacket and then tell me how mobile you are. Now imagine moving from cover to cover, from prone position to running then back into prone lugging all that crap around!

Even a rifleman in full battle-rattle including flak vest is weighed down like crazy. There is a reason why you need to be in great physical condition and do physical training nearly everday as a soldier, moving around in all that gear is extremely demanding. You don't run around and shoot with ANY degree of accuracy. Shooting is all about aiming, breath control, and how you squeeze the trigger. You can have your sights dead on center mass of an enemy soldier, but you jerked trigger back sloppily or where exhaling and you whiff the shot. So the majority of these shooting games are unrealistic, you can't run around see an enemy soldier, then scope it up and get a head shot, things don't work like that. KZ2 does a good job representing how weighted down the average infantry man is, all that gear and crap adds up really fast, and accuracy doesn't mean you have sights lined up on the target and you get a kill, it is alot harder than that IRL, especially in a frantic combat situation. In the end though its just a game so if you don't enjoy its mechanics move on.

[QUOTE="gamewatereddown"][QUOTE="cainetao11"]Someone actually believed a 21 gun salute fired live ammo? No wonder they think KZ2 is realistic.bladeeagle

"Because the movie's second unit team was running behind schedule, it was decided that dummy cartridges (cartridges that outwardly appear to be functional but contain no gunpowder or primer) would be made from real cartridges by pulling out the bullet, dumping out the gunpowder and reinserting the bullet. However, the team neglected to consider that the primer was still live and, if fired, could still produce enough force to push the bullet off the end of the cartridge. At some point prior to the fatal scene, the live primer on one of the constructed dummy rounds was discharged by persons unknown while in the pistol's chamber. It caused a squib load, in which the primer provided just enough force to push the bullet out of the cartridge and into the barrel of the revolver, where it became stuck."

- wikipedia

There is no mention of a live round anywhere.

[QUOTE="gamewatereddown"]lol another sign of usa army being poorly trained about weapons. war memorials they will shoot guns in the air as a salute. never heard the saying what goes up must come down? the bullet could come back down and kill someone.heretrix

You talk alot about guns but yet you don't know they fire blanks at memorials...

Also you talk about not having common sense yet you talk about running/jumping while shooting....

[QUOTE="SpruceCaboose"][QUOTE="savagetwinkie"] they fire blanks... its entirely illegal in the us to fire guns into the air.cainetao11

[QUOTE="gamewatereddown"]killzone2 does many things wrong. you shoot ur guns with ur right hand pull trigger, but if you lean around a wall on ur left lol the guy will take his gun and put it in his left hand when ur leaning. that's fake as hell.cainetao11
