Call of Duty so realistic that you can "hone" your shooting skills on it

Wait until Keith Vaz gets hold of this, he will be making motions in parliament to have all games banned.

My favourite part is him being able to let his grandma play to turn her into a super marksman. He should let his grandad play fifa, norway could do with a decent striker.

Guys, they've got a point, I wouldn't be a full time bricklayer if it wasn't for Minecraft.

Before that, I couldn't line up blocks to save my life.

Wrong. He'll never be out.

That's probably when he can apply for parole, which he is obviously never, ever going to be granted. He's lucky he isn't being given an injection to be honest.

Pfft....personally I think that is nonsense.

I am pretty average at COD, and diabolical at the sniper stuff.....yet I am not so average in real life.

It's true.

I can play guitar to a high standard but can't do song I can play (in real life perfectly) on guitar hero...

RL ≠ Computer game

Hmm, I wonder what real world skills playing portal will give me?

"HEY LOOK GUYS, IF I JUMP OFF THIS BUILDING AND SHOOT A PORTAL ILL GO MILES! READY? GERONIMOOOO..."

"News from the dailymail today, video game portal caused a suicide..."

What a load of ** as someone who plays a fair amount of COD and have some real firearms (as well as airsoft) experience about the only thing that COD was in any way helpful with was watching your background when firing. It absolutely has no real life advantages when it comes to aim/gun control or even bullet placement (a very few games model ballistics but COD is direct hitscan with no modelling of bullet drop, ambient conditions, etc.).

ps I've played many many hours of COD and some of my shipnames in eve online are based on Norse mythology... but I'm not about to go on a homicidal rampage anytime soon... but then I've never played WoW maybe thats what they should be blaming not COD...

The Guardian described it as a "war simulator" in their article. Blatant misinformation :|

He could have at least done it right and used ARMA 2.

BREAKING NEWS!: Breivik's lawyer trained for trial by playing Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney. We'll bring you more as we make it up.

Did you know you can really spin round with a sniper rifle and then shoot someone in the head with it 200m away in real life.

If the Daily Mail is to be believed then I'm currently training to achieve total world domination by becoming a super villian who will take over the world :eek:

And here was me thinking i was only playing Evil Genius on steam.

How differently that day would have played out if he had called upon his WoW experience as opposed to his CoD experience...
