In Modern Warfare 2 you can:
 

• Jump out of two stories buildings and live
• Absorb several bullets and live
• Reload in less than 2 seconds
• Regenerate health, no matter how severe the wound

Apparently whoever interviewed the "soldier" didn't actually read what he said. Modern Warfare 2 is far from realistic. Stupid article.

 One of the problems Torres had with the game was the realism of events in the Champaign. 
 
All credibility out of the window.

Most agreed. And you can easily aim and shoot down a plane. Realistic as hell!

Someone should make a 100% realistic FPS game. It wouldn't be remotely fun but at least it would stop people from referring to MW as realistic by comparison.

I think they were supposed to give him ARMA 2

Why would someone working at a video game website think that an article like that would qualify as news? 
 
EDIT:  This is what a realistic Call of Duty game would be like. 
 
  

Hello, I'm ARMA 2, or VBS 2 as they call me in the army. This article offends me.

@natetodamax:
And kill people with a throwing knife 2 buildings away. Don't forget about ordering tactical nukes on the fly, too.

Killzone 2 with red-eyed dudes in gas masks gives a more realistic representation of combat than Modern Warfare 2. And you heal dudes with microphones and shoot people with lightning in there.

Also: you can shoot down UAVs.

Well, there is no denying that tt is arguably one of the most realistic combat simulators available. You'd just have to have a special need in order to actually argue the point.

That sentence is lacking in irony and overflowing with stupidity.

I burst out laughing when I read "Champaign".

Good luck dual wielding Desert Eagles and Shotguns in real life unless you're the Terminator.

 Yep, definitely realistic. "

A dude said something? Oh man, call the fucking president.

" @HandsomeDead: Calling Modern Warfare 2 a simulator is ridiculous. Example:

SPOILER WARNING: Click here to reveal hidden content.

(In the snow storm mission early in the game) Two people taking out an entire base somewhere in the mountains in Russia. When you reach the building and plant the bombs and MacTavish is compromised and is facing 20+ soldiers, you go into slow motion and kill them all. Then you run out into the open with even more soldiers shooting at you, but you magically survive and suddenly you're in a snow mobile chase with several dozens of other enemy snowmobiles chasing after you. But of course, you manage to shake them off and go down a perfectly shaped skiing slope with a ramp on the end and jump over an enormous gap with your snowmobile and safely exit in a helicopter.

But they do say "Oscar Mike" in the military every 5 seconds like in the game right?

The guns don't even sound realistic...

Unrealistic? Lies. Whenever I get shot I just walk it off for about 20 seconds. After that I'm good to sprint around again.

 Yeah, luckily we've got this trained army soldier to let us know that, because just last week me and my friends were thinking about going and getting in a helicopter crash because it sounded fun.  Needless to say after this article we may have to change are plans.  

Champaign? Haha to think that these people get money doing this....

i can reload in less than 2 sec (i was in the army) so its not unrealistic.

If Modern Warfare 2 is realistic then Super Mario Galaxy is realistic.

Thanks!  And sorry, but if a typo is the stupidest thing you've ever seen, you need to get out more. "

The sarcasm in this thread has reached a critical level. I'm not getting involved.

I'm going to make the most realistic shooter ever made. There's no spawn points and once you die your never allowed to play the game ever again. Its gonna top the charts man i just know it!!

I'm gonna crash a helicopter into 50 cent's house. That would be one hell of a prank.

i wish people knew that they shouldn't look into it being a real kind of games. who in the world has regenerate health? some guns aren't what they are like in real life. to think that helicopter crashes can be fun.

" @ArchScabby: It's seems the writer had had a little to much champagne!  HEY-O! "

Stick around, you'll see worse.

It's pretty stupid.  I don't know if it's the stupidest thing I've ever read, though.  I read some things that were just pants-on-head retarded.
