Four Things the Battlefield Series Has Taught Me About Real Warfare

If there's one thing video games are known, it is their unparalleled view of reality. I do not know about you, but when I think about reality, I think that to steal the jetpack from Area 51 and use it to have sex with 10 prostitutes and set them on fire at the same time. So while GTA: San Andreas has taught me everything you know about the illegal birth and arson, I turned to Battlefield games that we really accurate look at life in the military

4 Becoming a pilot is actually a very simple process.

is often heard in a long and arduous task that recruits in the United States Air Force must pass to earn their "wings", but DICE has informed me of the pilot is a very simple process. Forget the hours in the simulator, read and forget about the exam, hell, forget about even getting assigned to a particular ravninom.Pravi way to becoming a pilot is sprinting towards the nearest aircraft Usain Bolt style. This is a crazy game of war shotgun, not only prize dust covered the front seat, but deadly war machine. Obviously, the first on the plane's pilot was crowned and there's no doubt undergone rigid training, which probably looked something like this.

After the fact that you lost the race for the plane, you can at least take solace in the fact that such a qualified individual has to take to the sky. You'll chase on the ground waiting to see him bombing the enemies and avoiding enemy fire, Will Smith style, but ultimately will watch it slam-right-of-the-greatest-solid-object-on-can-find style of Randy Quaid.

3 9 out of 10 the veteran sniper.

Yes, just as prominent as that "Being a pilot is hard!" myth, it turns out that military-grade snipers are a dime a dozen. Gone is the common term renewal of man and murderer. Snipers supposedly workhorse of American infantry. This is especially true when the work revolves around capturing the set objective. Instead of any progress towards the said goal, the real military operations consist of a group of ten men, all gathered in one general area waiting to shoot anyone moving.

Now I know that you are all thinking: "Is it a deadly group of human hunters is really such a bad strategy?" Well, now we have found the puzzle back training pilots as it seems that the sniper is actually less teško.Jedini criterion seems to revolve around you pretty much show up.

What follows is a barrage of bullets, none of which find their targets and the general confusion in the hell any of these people even found their way to the Battlefield in the first place.

2 The real battles have been fought exclusively with explosives.

Contrary to popular belief, all the fighting is clearly working with explosive ammunition. Although May you hear a bullet whiz by occasionally head and miss (see above), apparently to every soldier a weapon of choice revolves around something that blows up. Whether it's mortars, rocket launchers, grenades, and tank shells, using the $ 12,000 "Tank-buster" missiles is the best way to get back on XxWeedKilla420xX for the time he stole a plane (see above again). After a while, you begin to adapt to the slowly and make sure that you are fighting the army of Terminators.

1 Jumping is the most effective cover-solution.

Yes, all the knowledge Battlefield assured me, they all pale in comparison to the only real way to survive the war. This is, of course, jumping around like a Jack rabbit on PCP. After a while, you begin to wonder if you are engaged in a war or actually attending a Cirque du Soleil show at Luxor freaking.

do not need to concern yourself with old-fashioned ideals such as "grabbing cover" or "sap." The only thing you need to do to survive is to jump as if you were on a pogo-stick. In fact, after seeing how much I have, I would not be surprised if you hit-stick is not already standard issue.

So there you have it, went to the History Channel documentary depicting starving young men huddled together in a hole pissing on themselves to warm, and the DICE in the real world of fairytales T-800, with springs for legs jumping around without training to take straight or flying.
