Historical accuracy? This is from a company that made NAZI ZOMBIES! Sheesh. And it's not hard to imagine that there could be a reason for using some of these weapons. Perhaps the government has kept a lid on the best weapons to only be deployed with their black operators to ensure they would always outgun their enemies. And keep in mind this is a post MW2 age we live in. You need a bunch of guns and they all need a different 'feel' to them, to keep the repeated playing interesting. If you did more research, you would have found that a majority of the weapons used in Vietnam were the same as used in WWII. M1911, M1 Carbine, Thompson Machine Gun, Springfield, and M1 Garand were all used in Vietnam. Also in every other COD. I'm glad for the variety of weapons to choose from, even if it isn't perfectly accurate.
So I Did A Little Research On Black Ops...

Was that the guy describing love as something bad I can not remember?SimuLord said:
Yeah he was a messed up weirdo...love is a great thing, not too sure what he was on about...
That last line to me would make games sorta restrictive. Especially if the game was, lets say, about a future cyborg soldier thing going back in time and shooting Hitler in the face with a shrink ray so it could step on him.The_Deviant said:
Shrink ray or boring WWII gun...hmmmmm...
Only thing that bothered me actually. The storyline is a fictional one, about a fictional Vietnam front (the Vietcong did NOT do those large attacks, I mean that was over the top large). And why not just make the production time on the guns fictional, an alternate universe might have gotten the guns sooner or somthing. And it was fun seeing the G11 in a game again, I love that gun for some reason.Mr.Gompers said:
Ok. While most of these are correct, the FAMAS Felin came out in 2001. Just saying >> (don't know if anyone else has pointed this out... too lazy to check)soren7550 said:

I seldom use a headset, and if I do I am not discussing works of poetry or literature, I am going to be talking about the game - sometimes, if I die, I may swear. I may not. It depends on my mood at that given moment.
Because there are children online who swear, and shout, and behave like cavemen, you cannot automatically assume everyone who plays the game online is a mouthbreathing, foulmouthed retard with no attention span.
Your assertions are unfounded. Your assumptions are unwarranted. You have leaped to a conclusion based on minimal evidence, in order to spew your own mindless vitriol against a community you were clearly biased against from the outset.
You are closeminded, bullheaded and apparently lack the ability to form a functionally rational argument. This makes you a poor debater and my subsequent opinion of you is low. I do not expect to see my expectations raised in the future, as you would likely rather insist your baseless accustations are reasonable and only seek out likeminded individuals to breed your contempt rather than contend with the possibility you are mistaken, your beliefs riddled with inaccuracy.
Obviously it's not supposed to be realistic. But CoD4 made an effort to be somewhat plausible.
But what actually irritates me is how CoD is the face of modern warfare (who could've guessed it?) for pretty much the whole shooter market and the mainstream media that watches the sales go up. And it spawns so many military tech-loving (NATO only) gunerotica douchebags that it's grating that the bullshit is now piled on this thick.
Why can't they go and get their knowledge from Arma 2, like us respectable people?

An earlier thread showed how the stats of all similarly-classed guns are almost the same. And they all fire bullets with parachutes on the end that slow them down at just over point-blank range.
Frankly, I don't know why it's so important to use real weapons in a videogame. It makes sense in hardcore simulators, which Black Ops is not.
I don't wank myself dry to Guns n Ammo so no Mr. OP I don't particularly care if the guns aren't realistic in CoD.
As always I see the omnipresent, elitist, d-bags are here to shit all over anything that is in any way slightly connected to CoD. I know my words will be drowned in an ocean of bile, vitriol and the maddeningly endless repetition of the word sheep, which gets chucked around so much it's probably best we find a new name for the farmyard animal, but I'll go on to say you're not in any way, shape or form superior to another gamer simply because your taste in games differs. The fact anyone can possibly come to that conclusion baffles me to no end.
Now thats out of my system you can go back to your scheduled mud slinging.

people actually noticed things like this. i wouldn't care at all and would still keep playing it
This is why I felt that there should be an "era" selection before you choose your gametype, like WW2 era, Vietnam era, ETC so you can choose what weapons are avaliable to the players.
I highly doubt that Treyarch listed realism as a selling point. Realistic guns(look-wise and name)? Maybe. But Call of Duty: Black Ops isn't supposed to be a incredibly realistic game and no one should think of it as such.Okysho said:
Maybe you are thinking of ARMA2 or Operation Flashpoint, or whatever other war simulators there are.
The idea is that the game is set during the cold war. The cold war technically lasted till the late 90's. I get the feeling they were going for the whole "these battles didn't necessarily take place during the story mode."
