Would You Make a Good Soldier?

[Housebroken Lunatic]

I'm not sure. I good at thinking my way through situations, and I am decent behind a rifle. Then again, there is far more to being a soldier than just being able to shoot.

Yup.

There's plenty of WALKING to be done as well!

If you're bad at walking really long stretches and during difficult conditions (be it extreme heat or cold) and while you're dead tired at the same time, then you're pretty much a failure at what 95 percent of the soldiers profession is all about. XD

 

[Sacman]

Well let's see here...
I only really play TF2, as Huntsman sniper... and my strategy is to stand right behind the line using other people as meat shields and runaway whenever someone looks at me funny...
Well I guess I would stay alive... I doubt I would be a good soldier...<.<

 

[Vesuvius Hetlan]

Yes. If by soldier you mean unrepentant coward..

 

[emeraldrafael]

Probably not in open battle. I'd make a good guerrilla fighter, thats been pretty much proven by the little shooting games we do at my school. As long as I had my friends as my allies.

Besides, my kill to death ratio rests at a comfortable .832, mainly cause I dont take the insane risks others take. My teams create a covering fire of machine gun and sniper rounds that keeps me well protected. Most of the kills I've suffered were for a friend in terms of a grenade or a sniper shot that I walked into or new was going to happen.

But I dont follow rules too well. I do my own thing within the confines of them, so I wouldnt do well if i were under the commands of someone.

 

[Grubnar]

It depends.

My fighting ability is not so great. But my teamworking skills are very good.

 

[Carlston]

I'm a shitty FPS shooter cause I believed in tactics, room clearing ideals ect before I joined the military... when I did get into such training I did really well in the rl application but after boot camp and your training your not gonna behave like a FPS multiplayer type mostly because you learn something very important...

You have a mission, you can't complete it dead, and if you act stupid your not only going to get yourself killed but your comrades who depend on you.

 

[Grimsinger]

Id be just awful. I'm one of those skinny art school types who, while being physically fit, can't imagine carting around that huge ass backpack, much less making it through basic training. Also, i have a sever allergy to bullets, so there's that too.

 

[C95J]

No one here who hasn't been in the army would be a good soldier, sorry but that is a fact.

Although I am pretty awesome on Call of Duty so it's all good

 

[Anarchemitis]

It is not a gun that kills, it is a hard heart that kills.

I do not have a hard heart. I would rather die than kill.

Although I am pretty awesome on Call of Duty so it's all good

What's the first rule of Gun safety?

 

[Razgrizaces]

I would get shot a lot of times over and probably die first. I tend to be a great team player, if I live long enough...

In Combat Arms, I can do fairly well when it comes to killing people. I aim for the head, killing my enemies faster without having to get shot at much. I usually rush in, guns blazing, firing at the first person I see if I can kill them. My motto is: Don't shoot if you know you can't kill them. If you can't kill them, you shouldn't give your position away. Why try to kill somebody you know you can't kill? In teamwork games, I usually camp by the objective, relaying information as I see it and listening to teammates as things happen.

In COD, I just go in with my trusty-dusty Assault Rifles and destroy anything I see. I hate camping, it's not really that much fun and I don't think it has much significance. Who cares if you camp and get 25 kills in a row? It doesn't make you a better soldier/player. Maybe help win the game and seize the objective and THEN you'll be a "better soldier" in my eyes.

So yeah, I would probably get shot in the face in my first 10 minutes as a soldier... you can probably see my answer for this.

 

[NeoShinGundam]

HELL NO!! I'm the kind of guy who throws the pin and holds the grenade. I wouldn't last 2 seconds on the battlefield. That's why I play Starcraft II!

 

[MrGalactus]

Might do ok. I take cover a lot, sneak behind the bad guys, take em out one by one with something silenced.
Ok, maybe not a good soldier, but quite a good assassin or spy. Kinda.
Either way, i wouldn't join the military.

 

[Fidelias]

Wait, the question is, "Would you be a good soldier if you behaved the way you do in multiplayer?"

....

HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA!

No way. The military operates completely differently in real life then it does in games. (With the exception of Arma 2, and possibly Operation Flashpoint)

In games the priority is to kill your enemy, in real life the priority is to WOUND them.
In games you can use your head to try to take out the enemy in whatever way you think best, in real life you have to follow orders, even if you think they're the stupidest, most suicidal orders you've ever heard.

But no, I'd be a horrible soldier. I'm not at all the macho, gung-ho type. I think of things before I do it.

 

[Blank Kold]

I would be a decent grunt. I would also probably get a section 8 within days of being deployed.

 

[ajemas]

If I had to go to war, I would probably be a medic. Thanks to the Geneva Convention, I'm pretty much assured to stay alive, though there is certainly danger involved.
If I had to go into battle, I would almost certainly panic and run like a little *****. If by some miracle I didn't either shoot myself because I'm a clumsy ************ or get my head shot off because I have the spacial awareness of a retarded housefly, I would be captured as a POW faster than you could say "war crime".
In short, no, I would make a horrible soldier.

 

[Hollock]

Me? NOOOOOO! Me in multiplayer games? HELL NOOOOOO!

 

[Wolfenbarg]

In actual combat? I'm a pretty good shot, but I wouldn't be able to put that to use in any situation other than me getting the jump on someone. In a real fire fight I'd just be spraying bullets in semi-auto and making my superiors disappointed with me. With anything else I'd make a great soldier though. I'm a good team player and I have a lot of experience working in teams. I was in JROTC in high school, which doesn't go that far I think, but it means I have experience with military hierarchy and inefficient bureaucratic decision making. I was actually seeking out military service after I graduated, but because of my color blindness I was disqualified from pretty much every job I wanted despite the fact that my ASVAB score assured that I could do anything.

Anyway, this is of course in the hypothetical situation that I was forced to be a soldier. There's no way they would ever take someone like me given all the circumstances.

 

[ReaperzXIII]

I'm the guy that sneaks in whilst all my other team mates are being retards and kill most people and then find ways to trick my opponents if the fight becomes too hard or draw my team mates attention to them.

If I'm not doing that then I am either sniping or creating a strategy to beat my enemies.
