(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.
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.

Rainbow 6: 3
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...
Yeah, but at least it sounds realistic. More games should be like this.

Oh yeah, and how can a shotgun kill you at a sniper rifle's range? Every game I've ever played (except for Borderlands), shotguns go about 6 feet.

Every time I hear "in my opinion" or "just my opinion" makes me want to strangle a puppy. People use their opinions as a shield that other poeple can't critisize and that is bs.
If you can't defend or won't defend your opinion then that "opinion" is bs. Stop trying to tip-toe and defend what you believe in. |

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.

Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

TF2 isn't meant to be taken seriously anyway
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.
You can fall of buildings and not die. (On Topic, again)

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.

Just adding to the other post about shotguns being terrible compared to IRL, therefore is a valid point. Really? To the above I dont know how far the shotguns go in the game your talking about, but they really have a surprising short range, specially if its scatter shot.
