My bad your right
Take or leave my criticism, but don't threaten me with moderation.
Also you are still wrong about the history, just prove me wrong if I am, I will appreciate the correction and new information.
Especially as a German I would be very happy to learn some new facts about my country.
[mod edit]
if I could go find the war vetran's sure I would love to get them for you to talk to but I dont fancy tracking down some old people that traveled Hundreds of Miles to be at a War comemoration & Reanactment show, at the end of the day you believe what you want to believe its not like it matters anyway, I know I'm right & thats what matters to me & I'm happy with that.
GT I read your commenst & I do Agree with much of what you said but there is much I dont Agree with, if you would like to talk more about it feel free to leave me a message but I think as for this Thread I dont fancy posting much more as I have allready had to report 2 people & I dont fancy adding fuel to the flames.
Jesus.... don't report people for disagreeing with you. I have yet to see anything aimed at you, as a person, to warrant it.
If you are reporting based on people being sexist, well, that's the very reason they won't make female avatars in the first place. Again, it's a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation. Bet your money that someone will cry louder the moment they have female avatars that die in horrible ways during multiplayert, calling it a travesty to portray women in that way. This is the kind of stuff the evening news feeds would KILL for.

I didnt report anyone for there opinion just the people that went off Topic & started slagging off my Spelling
I did actually give Prior warning to people about that so its there own fualt for harrassing me, I dont take bullying or Harrasment of any kind light heartedly
I got reported once for telling a guy that "nobody should use the word 'ridiculous' if they can't spell it right'.
I call BS.

well if I ask someone to stop Harrassing me I expect them to stop not continue to Harras me, espcially because it had nothing to do with the topic at hand.
flame me for what I said is 1 thing but flame me because my spelling standards dont meet that persons standards then thats just Harrasment & that I do not stand for at all, I take it deadly seriuos & will allways do so as I detest any form of bullying
The problem is that you threw up on this post all sorts of complaints that you have about a specific genre, and when anyone tries to point out that there actually ARE games that do not have the issues that you have a problem with, you say you aren't interested in them. Because of this, it is very difficult to understand what your point is.
But I'll respond to your original post point for point.
1. Limited amount of attachments. Buttstocks are basically all the same thing. Some are kaleidoscopes, some fold, but they all function the same. There's really going to be no difference between using one buttstock over the other, except for a recent one that has just been made that allows you to do slide button firing with it (http://www.gunblast.com/SlideFire.htm). I am hoping to get this to replace the buttstock on my AR15. Other attachments would include things such as attaching various scopes/sites/magnifiers, flashlights, bayonets, etc, and most of those attachments really aren't going to improve your situation in a highly stressful fire fight. You can also add all the other things you listed, but it would not be practical or even possible to add them all. If you are using a high powered scope to snipe with at 1k yards, for example, you really have no need for a laser or holographic sight, or even a magnifier. If you have a grenade launcher attached to the bottom of your gun, you aren't going to have a tripod.
2. Good point, but pointless in the sort of games that BF and CoD are. There are a few games that actually do this, and not many people play them.
3. I have never met a US female infantry person.
4. This is why it's a game. So what? It would be the same thing as calling in an airstrike in RL, except because it's a video game, they let you have a little role switching in the middle of the story (the combat). For a few moments you get to play a gunner on a plane or helicopter or whatever.
5. There are games like this. You can play them. There are games that don't do this, you can play those. The choice really is yours. You're complaining about having to play something you don't have to play....
6. Good idea, and makes more sense.
7. There are games like this. Not many people play them comparably to CoD or BF games
8. If you wanted to introduce weather as a factor in battles, then you would also have to implement whether a military force has had any training in those environments. Russians destroyed the Germans in WW2 because it was so damn cold, and the Germans weren't used to it. US forces train all over the state and in other countries because of the different climates and altitudes so that they are acclimated to those conditions when they have to fight in them.
So you are making a list of things that you think should be different in a genre. You however aren't looking to play a game that fits what you want in a game. You are arguing with anyone who tries to provide you with information on games that have exactly what you want. And now you're reporting people who are pointing out the flaws in your PHB post.
Troll much?
I don't play FPS games and have little to add to this thread aside from the obvious immature trolling from some people about spelling.
This site has members from all around the world and we are generally expected to accept mispelled words. Plenty of people have challenges to overcome in order to communicate with others. A bit of maturity could be exercised here as the points raised are conversation worthy.
Agree with the opinions or not, but the attacks are not required.
It's not the spelling that anyone is complaining about. Bad spelling can be forgiven. I have HORRIBLE spelling. In fact, I'll even not spell check this post just so that you can see how bad my spelling is.
It's your grammar that is at issue. You are incorrectly using a lot of words which is making your written comments difficult to understand. This isn't so much an issue when one is reading a paragraph or a few sentences. It becomes tedeaous and unbearable when one is faced with a multi-page wall of text. The reader's brain has to pause to correctly identify the meaning of what you are writing, which takes extra time and becomes frustrating for the reader. This is not aimed towards you in particular.
The fact that you would be offended when someone attempts to help you be a better person is beyond me. It's not harrassment when someone is pointing out that failing to grasp basic grammatical skills makes you look dumb to whoever reads what you are writing, even if you aren't dumb in real life.
No, I'm not calling you a moron, idiot, retarded or dumb. I'm simply pointing out that your misuse of grammar makes you appear to be uneducated. This is an observation.
I can't see giving a shit on either side of this argument.
Who cares?
When I said the thing about not being able to use the word 'ridiculous' if you can't spell it, I was being facetious... I can't see someone getting that butt-hurt about it... but then again, I've been warned for using the term "butt-hurt" as well. Mods assist "he who bitches first", so for the love of God, just drop this trite shit.

I agree. I could really care less, it's just the whole 'I'm going to report you for harrassing me because you told me the difference between their there and they're!" is a bit over the top, and since I've been reported and will be banned anyway, I might as well get a couple extra licks in.
Warning, at best... unless said mod chooses to take sides.
Just, please, don't make a whole "screw you MMORPG.com" thread like the rest of em.

Here, here. Great write up. Are you considering service in the military? For my MMOFPS need I played Planetside. It has all the faults you listed, but should meet the need of all those fps fans. I hate when a fps fan asks why MMORPGs don’t innovate by incorporating more fps game play. Why? For the very reasons you just listed, that’s why.
Now let me address some of your points, on behalf of developers.
Point #1: 2 attachments keeps the balance math simple algebra. Open it up to 8 attachments and it becomes multivariable calculus, and the devs can’t balance their game.
Point #2: Because it’s what he player base demands. They want a phantom reticule, and no laser sight giving up their location. You make a game that doesn’t have crosshairs in the center of the screen, and you’ll get chastised for not including a standard feature.
Point #3: Let me refer to these wiki pages regarding Women in the military, & Women in combat. Devs see women models in fps as a waste of money and memory space. I don’t have a dev on the record as saying this. I also know that female models are available for some fps as mods. The reasoning as I see it, society doesn’t want to see women avatars killed in fps. BTW Planetside has female avatars.
Point #5: Fans of fps have always been against the trinity in MMORPGs. The claim to want their games to be about skill and tactics. But fps fans cry bloody murder when a game employs healing and/or death penalty as an incentive for tactical play.
Point #7: Fans of fps hate reality in their fps game play.
Point #8: Once again Planeside had all that weather, but no night. Fans of fps don’t want their visibility impaired. You give them night and they will turn it off or correct for it with settings or hacks. What do I hear from fans of fps with night? They just don’t play in the night cycles.
Congratulations on your post. It just confirms for me, that regardless what fans of fps say about MMORPG combat being faceroll. Fps combat is the most dumbed down, and simplistic combat system deployed in gaming today. And should never be considered as innovation for MMORPGs.
Boy: Why can't I talk to Him?
Mom: We don't talk to Priests.
As if it could exist, without being payed for.
F2P means you get what you paid for. Pay nothing, get nothing.
Even telemarketers wouldn't think that.
It costs money to play. Therefore P2W.
Awwwwe. But...Please? I've got this soapbox I've been constructing in my basement for the last year....And I'm just itching for a reason to stand on it...
well please look at it from my point of view, wear I'm from what I wrote read perfectly fine, just because it dont were your from dont mean you should judge people, & frankly they were not trying to help me be a better person & picking out every other thing you say that may be su standard is bullying not helping, you wanna help please do it somewhere else or in some other way.
I'd tell you that *wear* should be *where*, but I asssume it was a trap to being with.

Thank you for claifying. Your origional post appeared to be "a woman's view on current modern day FPS games" and a list of complaints about how unrealistic they are, which I think was the basis for many of the responses that fallowed and the assumption of trolling regarding your responses. I'll take back the trolling accusation.
please dont GT just please, this is me asking you & all people to stop it now, there is really no need for this at all, I just want to be left alone, I have dyslexia & have dealt with this in real life from my entire life, do all of you really think putting someone down is constructive at all ?
