Sorry.
The two best visual re-creations of ...Yep. Sorry.<br /><br />The two best visual re-creations of war I can think of seeing are Sam Fuller's "The Big Red One" about WW2 and "Three Kings" about the Second Gulf War. And not so much for any specific visual thing but because they both "get" that war is fundamentally either insanely boring or frantic and about the stupidest fucking thing you'll ever do; random, idiotic, and often CHAotic...<br /><br />There are probably some people out there that can see war like one of these shooter games; I'm told that some guys get a rush out of actual combat. I don't get it and never have; the tiny amount that I saw seemed completely senseless from a worm's-eye view.FDChiefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10607785969510234092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31246093.post-16275911706409396842013-03-06T16:11:31.536-07:002013-03-06T16:11:31.536-07:00Wait, you mean Call of Duty lied to me all those y...Wait, you mean Call of Duty lied to me all those years?<br /><br />I feel... so lied to...Leonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15715768191516712688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31246093.post-3931233452161498042013-03-06T12:26:12.210-07:002013-03-06T12:26:12.210-07:00Enh.

Or go from the company CP to battalion back to company to brigade then back to company only to find that the orders you were chasing were cancelled.<br /><br />THAT's "damn realistic". This stuff is just sort of digital war porn...FDChiefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10607785969510234092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31246093.post-41236381272686967682013-03-05T16:22:11.216-07:002013-03-05T16:22:11.216-07:00Sorry to hijack your threat again Chief (we must f...Sorry to hijack your threat again Chief (we must find other ways to talk). Just stumbled on to some gameplay footage of a group playing ARMA II. It's a hard-realism FPS and these guys took it to the next level.<br /><br />They regularly run operations and, not having ever been a soldier, they seem damn realisitic. Completely fascinating. Here's one of their gameplay vids:<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OnQtx0EoC1g&list=PLF4860D47C4E86295&index=5Leonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15715768191516712688noreply@blogger.com
