I'm not talkin about courage, you either have it or you don't.

 

From a technical shooter, mission, point of view could a COD Legend do it 4 real??

I have several cousins who have attended service academies in both the US and South Korea (my parents are Korean ex-pats). I myself looked into both the Naval Academy and the Air Force Academy.

From my conversations with my cousins and current members of the armed forces, I've gotten the impression that today's military is a more professional one and that being an officer is a much greater asset than being an enlisted soldier.

A college degree is needed to become an officer and honestly, there are so many ignorant players on Call of Duty who just don't have the baseline intelligence necessary for a college degree.

All of the Special Operations soldiers - the SEALS, Army Rangers, etc. - are officers. Like I stated above, the average Call of Duty player lacks the necessary intelligence to become a soldier in today's US military.

Agrees with MeanestPeenis.

They don't translate since there is the true and real situation of bullets flying back at you. You simply will not behave in the same precarious manner, since you only have life to spend. SOF aren't all officers, there are some very senior NCO's as well (Sgt, WO's and alike). I play the game like I was taught back in the day, as a squad designated marksman and I usually I let others be foolish enough to run around. And squad based play isn't really an option since the majority of CoDers are under the age of 16.

Coming from an avid shooter, with pistols, assault rifles, and bolt action sniper rifles, he must REALLY suck at CoD to think it's easier in real life.

First of all, quickscoping doesn't exist in real life. Guns are heavy.

Secondly, do a little research on the amount of knowledge you have to have, and the amount of calculations you have to do to be accurate in real life at long distances with a rifle. The obvious ones would be wind speed (at your position and the targets position), bullet drop, and speed of target etc. The not so obvious ones would be things like the temperature of the barrel, bullet weight, muzzle velocity, the barometric pressure, altitude, temperature of the air, rifle cant and angle, even the coriolis effect (rotation of the earth).

So he's pretty much wrong. It's crazy easy to snipe in CoD.

No it doesn't.

Are you serious? Child you cannot compare the feel for a actual weapon to a friggin PS3 controller, dude its only MAKE BELIEVE. If you want to test yourself go to a gun range, try it!

...try to pick up 2 FMG9s or any machine pistol/SMG, fire while standing and running around, and see how accurate you are...

...run and gun around with a Striker/SMG/Sniper Rifle in a city in hostile territory and see how well you do...

...throw a Frag Grenade in front of you and take 20 steps back and see what happens...

...call in some kind of aerial support and see how long it takes...

End point...no...even the best CoD Elite would get mowed down extremely quickly in real life presuming they're not already a trained/experienced soldier.

Why else would the American Army put out a game?

I read a study that video games help with your peripheral vision.  I guess if you were to translate that to real life marksmanship, it would help you pick out targets in the field.  Now whether you can hit them or not is a different story.

HELL the FRIG nooo.  That has to be the absolute dumbest notion I may have ever heard.  That is like comparing an apple to a Porche.

It's like Han Solo said in Star Wars:

Good against remotes is one thing. Good against the living, that's something else.

well no dude thats such a 12 year old thing to even ask XD Of course they wouldnt make a good soldier. Playing a VIDEO GAME and being out there for real are two different things. I know many soldiers and my father was a soldier and YES they both cause mental and physical stress but its not the same kind of stress that you'd feel in a real battle situation. It just would not happen like that. FYI sniping in CoD is obviously easier than in real life. CoD you can run around and snipe. a REAL sniper doesnt ******* run around quick scoping XD if they did that they would die because in real life a shotgun beats a sniper in close quarters almost every time unless the sniper is clearly undectected and out of sight AND behind that guy... lol

No they are worlds apart

yes as its a well known fact the germans lost ww2 as they couldnt quickscope and america won the battle of iwo jima as their team actually capped flags and didnt camp

Yeah, like the remote controlled drone that you can mount the AA-12 on is actually controlled by a XB360 controller, lol.

Of course, then you gotta take into account the lag time and all that XP  lol
