just need to rant

Someone gave me a copy of Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2; they knew I would not buy it myself and thought I would like it.

This is the do not call it realistic speech that I am tired of giving, and now I can just link it:

Do not call this game realistic, it is just a crappy version of Metal Slug that is not a side scroller. Infinity Ward obviously DID NOT do their homework when it comes to the weapon selection. Really? The SAS using the L86? Arguably the worst light machine gun in existence, Her Majesty's forces absolutely hate the damn weapon and normally use FN Minimis. It sucks because it is not a belt fed LMG. It takes standard 30 round magazines and is just a pot of shit. Oh, you think putting a c-mag on it helps? Fuck no, the magazine jams so much that operators prefer just to reload than waste time with a 100 rd drum mag for their personal 5.56mm weapons.

Another reason it is not realistic: one fucking round from a 9mm submachine gun can drop you from all the way across the map, but for some odd reason, a three round burst from a 7.62 x 51mm at POINT BLANK range just pisses the opponent. In reality, the bigger round at that range would turn someone into hamburger meat.

Oh, you think it is cool that they carry their pistols on their back? HOW THE FUCK ARE YOU GOING TO GET TO IT IF YOU NEED IT? And if you can reach it, you waste time and movement reaching for it. Sure it may look cool, but where the fuck is practicality (down the toilet if you ask me).

Other points:
An aircraft has less armor than a tank, but how come an anti-tank missile does not obliterate an aircraft?

Why must you make the FAMAS have flip up sights? Does everything have to look high speed?

You made some really cool guns suck (Tavor 21 being the main one) and you are making idiots who think that this game is realistic and they trash talk the weapons manufacturers who pour in YEARS of research to make a practical and efficient firearm. GUESS WHAT? Bullpup rifles are more accurate because they have longer barrels, who would have thought about that? Geez

This game only gets two props in my book. Thank you for making the TDI Kriss (or Vector in the game) and the Cheytac .408 (Intervention in the game) more mainstream, these are two excellent firearms. The Kriss because it is the first major breakthrough in submachine gun technology since the Thompson came along; its is a .45 ACP and it can fire faster than nearly all smaller caliber smgs. The Cheytac is brilliant because it rivals the 50 caliber sniper rifles range with increased accuracy. But too bad you still made these two weapons suck in the game.

I think I just need to quit playing first person shooters all together so I will not get pissed off when they fuck up royally like they always do.
