Cumberlin! how can you say that realism is a bad thing? have you played R6? Tactical simulations may not be for everyone but i think even you can say that Counter-strike has realistic features that make it a hell of a lot more fun than Quake! Isn't that one of the main selling points of HALO? Realism is designed to be part of the game
EXAMPLE-physics engine. So why not try to make the weapons cooler by making them SCIENCE-fictional not just fictional?
