How is that a derailment?? It's COD in space and we're talking about them firing in space. What shall we talk about? We're talking about the merits of the trailer and the game setting.

OK.


How about we just laugh and call this one: Call of Duty: Red Dawn Edition.

:rolleyes:

You're discussing whether or not a real gun can fire in space, which is outside the context of what is in the game. The gun can fire in the game so it is irrelevant.

i hope you all realize that you are talking about realism in a game where you get shot, hide for 4 seconds, and are fine. or where you can go from standing, to crouching, to lying on the ground in a snap of a finger. or where you have unlimited magazines (physical clips, as you can reload after every bullet fired and a new magazine is put in the gun that magically has as many bullets as it can hold, if you have enough ammo).

as tweak said, it's a game.

Um, I am pretty sure I've done all of that while in the military. >_>

True, but what he's saying is this :

If you deploy with your M16 with one magazine locked in, and three more full magazines with you :

You cannot fire off 3 shots, swap magazines, fire off 7 shots, swap magazines, fire off 25 shots, swap magazines, fire off 10 shots, swap magazines, fire off a full mag, swap magazines, and still magically have a full magazine after each swap UNLESS : you take a break and manually reload an emptied or partially emptied magazine with rounds. That never happens on COD or BF games, with the possible exception of manual-load weapons like shotties and old rifles.

Perhaps Arma is more realistic than that? I don't know, it looks way too unpolished imho.

It's not a big deal imho, after all it's totally just a game. Getting shot point blank in the leg with a 7.62x51 round and running off jumping like a maniac isn't exactly realistic either. Or being nearly dead, hiding behind some boxes for 60 seconds, and being magically fixed lol.
