Default Why?

Why am I always the winner in a game when I have finished it? Why dont it ever end out with me being shot?

Why are my teams always behind me, and not in the same line of me?

Why do none of my team mates die?

Why can I take 500 bullets in my stomach before I die?

Why is war always presented heroic?

Why is war always pure?

Why is large killing fields never presented?

Why are the speeches never dirty?

Why is it so hollywood?

That and "He was a hero, a man of courage and conviction who chose to fight for his country, for his beliefs, for freedom. He was prepared to sacrifice it all to fight the rise of evil" is a really ****ty opening narration to be followed by someone lying on a beach in a less-than heroic fetal position while screaming for his mother, as his guts wash in and out with the tide after 0.0003 seconds in "glorious battle". OMG this game = sux!

Doesnt make for a very good Band of Call of SPR Brothers of Duty and Honor Part XVII even with SLI and HDR does it :/

Where's the problem? You're on the board of the game that solves all these problems.

Makes me think of Vietcong: Fist Alpha...
You die at the end, your teammates are mostly up front, you can take 1 or 2 hits, it is more grunt-like than heroic WW2 shooters, it isn't pure war (intermezzo's and stuff), you'll find whole fields with dead people, the dialogues are dirty as hell (banned in 8 countries) and it isn't Hollywood.

Probably. What he's saying sounds a lot like BiA/CoD/MoH which I don't like either. But everything's alright now, we have RO:Ostfront, CoD guys have their games. No need for CoD "realism" mods anymore.
The only thing that's kind of sad is the lack of good singleplayer games which I guess dktekno is addressing. I don't mind it much, last singleplayer game I played until the end was HL1.

Heh, never seen the end of Fallout have you?


I seriously was pissed, shocked, horrified, and slighty humored all at the same time. Really, that was a curveball and a half.

I donīt want to play war crimes. I want to test my reactions. If you like to act out crimes and "unpure" things, then "Postal 2" might appeal to you.

You can commit war crimes in Red Orchestra. I walk up to soldiers who are cowering while there team is fighting and I shoot them in the back of the head with my pistol. And if an enemy is really ticking me off, I mutilate the corpse with rifle butts and pumping shots into them.

U.N. Rules of War
Section 7.2 : The following acts against any of the persons mentioned in section 7.1 are prohibited at any time and in any place: violence to life or physical integrity; murder as well as cruel treatment such as torture, mutilation or any form of corporal punishment; collective punishment; reprisals; the taking of hostages; rape; enforced prostitution; any form of sexual assault and humiliation and degrading treatment; enslavement; and pillage.

Section 9.1 : Members of the armed forces and other persons in the power of the United Nations force who are wounded or sick shall be respected and protected in all circumstances. They shall be treated humanely and receive the medical care and attention required by their condition, without adverse distinction. Only urgent medical reasons will authorize priority in the order of treatment to be administered.

Oops? Good thing the U.N. wasn't created until after World War II.

You know what I meant ? ok .
Besides, I donīt think it matters much if you shoot at dead bodies. Sure it isnīt nice and should be forbidden, but hey: Would you care if someone shoots you if you are already dead? I know I wouldnīt.

Yea, I was messing with you.
But strangely, purposeful mutilation of the dead is against the rules of war. Though the average soldier doesn't really have all that long to just sit around all day and poke at a corpse with a stick or to butcher it.
