Realistic shooters... what's the appeal?

[Penguin FTW]

you even get weapon jams in that game which is great!

Fucking what

This is quite possibly the most befuddled a post on MMO Champion has made me

Lol my post about guns jamming being the worst implementation of realism was in this thread too

It's already been commented on, but my personal view is that of pacing. I like both types, but they feel very different, even if they're the same general genre.

I dunno if this has been said in this thread already or not since I only read the first page really, but..

You've not played either game at a competitive level, I'm assuming. Higher caliber Call of Duty matches are so intense and nerve racking because of the fact that you die so easily. Matches are won/lost by someone being in the wrong position for even a second.

In competitive Halo there are still set ups and strategies, but mistakes are way more forgiving. If you poke out just a little bit in Halo you can take a shot or two and be fine. In Call of Duty, you can't and that is where the skill and difficulty come into play.

The better players in Call of Duty are the ones who know where they are in relation to their enemy, their teammates, the objective, and the map. Good players in Halo are the ones who have a steady BR shot.

Americas Armyhttp://www.americasarmy.com/,

This game is beyond bad, used as a recruitment tool for the army, my recruiter when i joined the military tried to get me to come down for a tourney for it at the recruitment station, i told him straight up i dont play shit games.

Playing Battlefield 3 with a squad of friends, is one of the best gaming experiences i have ever had.

I prefer my shooters in the modern military variety, and firmly believe no other FPS will give me anywhere near as much enjoyment as Battlefield 2 does.

The Shield system in Halo & the absurd health regen rate in Call of Duty aren't fun to me. Plus, their maps are just too small for my liking. I'll stick to my good ol' battlefield games

Teamwork is more important than aim in Halo games

I have no idea why the U.S army use it for recruitment that’s a bit silly in my opinion. I only like the game for its realism not its gameplay.

Yep, if for no other reason than the extra durability I mentioned earlier making it even more important that multiple people focus the same target.
