I've survived a lot worse in games that are supposed to be "realistic".

+1

Thanks, now I know another role I need to take on.

(I bet it's not in there but I really am hoping for scars in character creation.)

If you think that is impossible to survive watch the show I Survived... Its on the Biography channel, People have survived far worse I assure you friend. :tops:

Its not like its never happened before in real life

IIRC a member on this forum actually had a story about a friend who was shot in the head and survived

It's possible to survive being shot in the head. Probably had lousy aim and just injured you badly.

» Sat Feb 19, 2011 8:50 am

It's happened. People have been shot in the head and didn't even know it until hours later. Weird, but true.

*recalls many times during CoD when a shotgun from feet away didnt kill someone, and beginning to fire before the enemy as well as firing with a more powerful gun and more times than they shot you after turning around and then dying*

You get shot with a really crappy .32 pistol by a guy with only 12 for small guns skill, lol.

» Sat Feb 19, 2011 4:22 am

theres a picture on the web of a guy who tried to commit suicide with a shotgun, he blew his whole face off and survived.

You're the main character of an RPG so yeah you basically get a freebie life.

I've seen that.
In my neghborhood lives a guy who did the same. He's not pretty, but he's very much alive.

It's possible to be shot in the head and survive with little to no brain damage. Seriously, it's not all that unrealistic. :shrug:

Just the first example I found:

exactly... youd be surprised how resilient and fragile the human body actually is.

a few years ago a new Zealand fellow survived a fall from 5000 feet in a sky diving accident. even-though he landed in bushes, doctors say that he should have died.

in 1403 a young king Henry the 5th of England was shot in the face with an arrow and with some medical enginuity he survived

Anything is possible. the human body is surprisingly resilient.

There was a woman who was shot in the head 7 times at damn near point blank range and survived and normal. If i remember correctly it was a .45 that was used

Keep in mind that CoD is an arcade shooter franchise and the only thing realistic about it is the setting. The gameplay is far from realistic.

agreed, wanna play a realistic shooter, play operation Flashpoint

Even better, Arma 2 (although the campaign is far far worse than the OFP campaign, the gameplay is improved).

Awww, you just hated on the best "shooter" there is.

» Sat Feb 19, 2011 4:14 am

Depends...if you like semi-realistic shooter sims then it was decent. If you like shooters designed to be accessible to the masses (like CoD) then you won't like it.
