Running speed is 7mph, walking is 4mph. You have an energy counter that goes down whe you run, and up when you walk. You can get maybe a mile or so of constant running in before you deplete your energy and have to wait for it to recharge. The more weapons you're carrying, the slower you can run. One or two shots (depending on where you're hit) and you're dead and out for the rest of the round. You can only carry a realistic amount of weapons and ammunition.

I think people would hate a game that was this realistic.

Yeah, like Counter Strike for example. That's gotta be one of the most hated games ever.

(rounds are 5 mins, so only 5 mins of running. You slow down when you jump alot. You can only carry 1 weapon and 1 pistol with limited ammo and 3 shots are more than enough to kill you (4-5 if wearing kevlar+helmet))


lol, cs is far far far from realistic:p awp peeps anyone? reloading weapons before your clip is empty and very quickly at that? i mean seriously, if your clip is half empty, filling it up again manually is gonna take a bit of time... u gonna have to stop runnin to do it:p shooting someone in the handwith a sniper rifle is not death:p you don't limp in that game, you just get a little stunned for a second, if you escape your dandy. the game encourages headshots to an absurd degree because you have unlimited lives:p

whats the last time you've seen a swat team jump up and down when shot at? hahahaah :)

Halflife 2 :p
