Reality Check - Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare Super Soldiers in Real Life?

what if they were do do something like using an explosive for propulsion like project orion because it could offer a boost and be used multiple times

Please...there is an enormous difference between a load bearing device of questionable practicality and an exo-suit with virtually unlimited power, hovering/jumping capabilities, and the capacity to withstand extreme damage while retaining structural integrity (like falling 40 feet, which occurs routinely in-game). The primary issue with this technology, the issue which makes this technology difficult to envision even 40 years in the future, is energy density; that is, to be able to power useful hand-held directed energy weapons and exo-suits with the abilities we see in-game, the innovation in our ability to generate enormous amounts of energy in tiny packages would have to be so immense, that the game might as well feature interstellar travel (as a breakthrough allowing exo-suits like this would probably also make other, previously-thought-impossible technologies feasible). This game is far-fetched science fiction, at best.

PART 2!!! I COMANDITH IT!!!!

Please do a part 2, Cam!!

hey whats the cool music plays end of all reality check videos ?

id like a part 2, theres alot of tech in the game to be discussed

Yeah, I'll take a part 2 please, Cam.

Good old Lockheed produces all the best stuff. What's great about them is anything they reveal is usually no where near as awesome as they stuff they don't.

I'd love it if we were capable of getting to the stage where this kind of technology were made available to the general public, although I can only imagine the kind of chaos criminals might cause with them.

"Exosuits allow soldiers to carry more weapons. . ."

That reminds me of how comical Master Chief is in Halo. He's a super huge cyborg and he can only carry two weapons max and he's always running out of ammo. He always in need of scavenging from the battlefield.

A Part 2 would always be welcome.

Great Show. Thanks Cam.

lola paid advertisement thats so obvious it hurts.

Most of the sci-fi tech you see are based on something. Example: Railguns.

Part 2 please!

yes, yes,do part 2

I feel like the more compelling tech is the stuff designed to get soldiers OFF the battlefield. Drones/ robotic soldiers would be an example. I do believe industrial uses may be the best for the exosuits; work-related injuries due to repetitive motion or strains and sprains cost many companies millions in insurance rate hikes.

Does anyone else feel like some of the GameSpot staff aren't that happy about the promotional series by Activision on GameSpot?

I was surprised with the way some of the video presenters tried to pass it off as a joke but it now looks more like a sarcastic remark. Dunno maybe its due to lack of sleep and lack of clubbing at a Saturday night. Need to get my can of beans real quick.

Bring on part 2 my man :D

Part 2? More "Is this scientifically even possible?" Uhhh, yes. Yes, PLEASE.

Im down for part 2. Make it happen Cam! Thanks for the episode.

Part II, please, Cam.

Cam, University of Arizona is not Arizona State University. Also, I go to ASU so wohoo GO ASU!!!

More military technology for the west to use for its colonialism in the third word and the repress their people at home. Great.

This technology and the resources behind it should be geared towards improving the quality of life for people not for wars of imperialism and repression of the working class and I feel this video shows the "glory" of war but no mention of the tragedy it creates..on that note I have yet to see even one single picture or video of a dead Arab or Afgan on the "news" despite 13 years of war and over a million dead, the majority civilians. Why is that?

Contrary to the propaganda terrorism is a result of western imperialism, if you are fighting an occupying army they are not terrorist they are partisans and the US army bombs civilians all the time so I guess they are terrorist.

Call of Duty is an expression of how the propaganda machine has conditioned America to borderline fascism and I use "borderline" cautiously.

Part II please

with the rate tech upgrades for computers, if it where applied to these jump or jet packs I'd say it could happen with in the next 20 years

it's like ghost reacon, most the stuff is getting made or at least trying but it never gets deployed because its not cost effective to arm every soldier with all these things, even the sas dont really use enything special

Extensive technology to kill people.

New ways to be primitive! YAY! =(

I think that the research is pretty darn cool, but there need to be significant advances in energy storage before these things can be practical. Lockheed seems to have a pretty good lead and has the resources to make these advances, but I also wonder how much they might the soldier on the ground. Yeah, they can load up with more weight, but they need their full packs every day. The exoskeleton's mission might be fairly narrow and not an everyday device. Still, I definitely want to see more research into this stuff.

Exoskeletons are far too expensive for any military to equip their soldiers with.

Jetpacks (and jumppacks) has no real military use.

As for a part 2. Please no.... We don't need more Call of Duty trash...

The real tech is pretty cool.....

as far as games go the new COD looks more like it's trying to rip off Mass Effect a bit.....

i saw the ASU jetpack a while back, pretty cool. not sure if a speed booster would be a burst jump though :P

By the time this technology comes around we'll either nearly all be dead from an all out war or just be peace lovin' hippies.
