Shotguns have a range of 5yards. At this range they kill instantly, however at 5.001 yards they loose power and hit like a pea thrown by a 3 year old.

Magazines are always instantly reload themselves when you press the reload button, and they are always full until you start running out of ammo.


(WTF, seriously, there is not one game out there that is realistic when it comes to this. Your mags should be half full (depending on how much of one you use) after you have to use them again after pressing reload, or the game should actually show you putting bullets in a magazine to fill it up.

You have a set number of mags, not bullets. Every time you reload, it cycles to a different mag, keeping the bullet count for each mag as it was.
It was annoying as hell having all mags with 10 or so rounds...

There are actually many games that are realistic in this regard. However, when you in these games, you put the half full mag in your bag and swap in a full mag. once you run out of full mags and keep reloading, you will start swapping in the partial mags from earlier.

No matter how bad the wound is, drinking water/colored kool-aid can heal it, no questions asked.



Sadly, IRL games make people think they are uber snipers and can duel wield pistols with amazing accuracy.

Bashing items with a hammer repairs them

Walking through fire cant kill you.

Walking no where near fire can kill you.

Being shot through 16 houses can kill you.

Shotguns can kill you at a range sniper rifles should be fired.

Everybody has hidden skills.

Hitting something in the head with a big ass sword, which goes through the head, doesnt kill it.

Dont stand near red barrels.

Rocks can be camped inside.

Dont go into an elevator/lift with your friends, you will fall through the floor and die.

Hissing leads to explosions.

Oh yea best imo, your princess is always in another castle.

Well the both of them were slight exagerations of Black Ops where yous behind a house or something but still die and you get 1 shot killed even when a shotgun isnt anywhere near you.

Besides, Crits remove falloff, meaning that a Crit anything does the same amount of damage halfway across the map as it does right next to you.

Big things can't be killed unless you first hurt the glowy bits.

Artillery can only fire for about 100 meters, unless their not in the same country.

Tanks can fire for only 50 meters.

Flamethrowers are the best weapons to utterly destroy a building, no matter what it's made of.

Nukes have a 50 meter blast radius.

It wasn't all that long range. The range was actually quite realistic, unlike in the other Halo games where shotguns go 4 feet.

Every barrel you shoot explodes violently.

If you can't hit a man in the head, you need 2 shots to down him with a .50 cal Sniper.

Every female you meet will try to seduce you, by wearing as few clothes as possible and/or having a crush/sleeping with you.

Every female you meet is perfectly formed and sexually appealing.

Even if 20 armed gunmen shoot at you, if you're holding a sword they'll totally miss.

Dunno if its been mentioned before:

If you pay a hooker, you can run her/him over with the car (or otherwise kill them) and get your money back.

You could sleep with them in F1, but they weren't dressed nearly as provocatively as F2/3

When you get a hair cut, they can make your facial hair grow out instantly.

Seriously, there needs to be a game that you get longer hair and facial hair over time, and can cut it shorter or have it styled.

I think fable the lost chapters sort of had that feature, can have any hairstyle you want when you defeat then boss for the 1st time and by the time they realise hes still alive you have a beard and long hair, but thats about the only time it "grows".

Edit: new one to add(i think)

Getting an achievment is never truly worth it.

The biggest lessons I've learned from video games would be

a) Bum-rushing stuff with a massive, angry mob of infantry can make the enemy's most complex, intricate strategies worthless and utterly ineffective.

b) Buildings don't suffer damage, save for burn marks, if you miss the lone guy you were firing your rocket launcher at and hit the wall instead.

c) There is always a way around something.

d) Food/Drinks will heal bullet and/or melee weapon wounds.

e) Car crashes don't really injure you. That's just government propaganda

f) You can load a previous save if your life starts to suck

g) And, of course, the truth about knifes and death:

"I might join the military; it's like an FPS but with better graphics."

Probably slightly paraphrased, but win nonetheless.

I should hate doctors, lawyers, cops, helicopters, vampires, STAIRS, birds, walking, subways, tunnels, elevators, train yards, small towns, Ayn Rand, sewers, vans, and the woods.

Stepping on things is the same as picking them up.

If you ever need some wood, just find a tree and punch it repeatedly.
