Questions

I saw on Facebook that you had some questions for us. If it's a general question, you can post it here. You can also review our Rules and the rules regarding fictional firearms. --Funkychinaman (talk) 16:01, 22 March 2016 (EDT)

Follow-up

1) Do you play games much? If so, do you play scifi shooters as well as shooters with realistic guns? Or are you generally drawn to games with more authentic firearms?

I don't play as much as I used to, but I used to play a moderate amount. I've devoured the Halo franchise (except the most recent one) since it came out, as well as the Gears of War franchise, and I own every COD except the most recent and every MOH/Battlefield game. I admit, if everything else was equal, I'll give games with realistic guns more of a chance, but ultimately, it boils down to gameplay, storytelling, etc.

2) How much does the increasingly weird weaponry of Call of Duty games harm your enjoyment? Is it like a minor annoyance, or does it make it much harder to get into the game?

The last COD game I played was Advanced Warfare, and I was a bit annoyed by the crazy weapons in the sense that I no longer had any inkling whether or not the weapons that I was encountering were any good, or better than the ones that I had. For example, in MW2, if I had an Uzi, I'd trade it in for an AK if I could, because I prefer rifles, but in AW, I had no idea if an ASM1 was better than an IMR. I don't know if I would say it would harm my enjoyment, because the game isn't about shooting guns. If I wanted to enjoy shooting guns, I'd take my guns to the range and shoot them. As for getting into the game, like I said earlier, it boils down to gameplay, story, etc.

Users here always freak out about the guns in video games, but ultimately, I don't think it really matters. BO3, with it's crazy sci-fi guns, was the best selling game of 2015, and it was only out for less than two months of 2015, while Medal of Honor: Warfighter, with it's devotion to accuracy, flamed out and killed the franchise. --Funkychinaman (talk) 11:55, 25 March 2016 (EDT)
