Or someone sliding across the ground on ANY TERRAIN as if the floor was ice? Or a dog that kills you from 15 feet away, or gets shot in the face with said .50 cal and doesn't die? Or a sentry gun that obviously has cables but cannot be damaged by knifing these cables (like in the older games)?
I can keep going, but you said it yourself. It's a video game. The CoD series is defined by these things.
-Impossible knife throws that kill you when they just graze your foot
-People who can maneuver a heavy gun while jumping in the air as if they had it mounted
-Quickscoping at the speed of light
-Rin Tin Tin canines and Twilight wolves that just won't die and can fly across the map to get to their owner's killer.
-Squad Mate "G.I. Joes" that aren't hurt by a rocket-propelled grenade to their head, and can kill you with their pistol in one shot whereas your own pistol is pretty useless (all because some idiot at IW wanted to create a KillStreak out of one of the bots from MW3, who follows you around with a shield like a duffus, and can be more quickly killed by an SMG spraying everywhere than a steady .50 to the head)
-And best of all..... best of all.............. the ability to respawn when you die (now THAT was genius!!! but I believe that's every game.)
I've said many times already that the topic here is weapon realism, not COD realism...
I am not disagreeing with the points you have raised, but to be honest, most of the unreal things make the game more fun and playable to everyone, but that is a different debate...
I still fail to see how the snipers are less realistic compared to the other weapon classes. From what I have seen, the Sniper rifles in this game seem to be decently accurate. So if the topic is the realism of Snipers, please tell what the problem is?
Quickscoping is the un-realism of sniper rifles in COD...
The problem is you can use them like a shotgun, so they are a viable weapon for all ranges. Every other primary mirrors it's real world use...
