Call of Duty
I happen to like the game Call of Duty, and I play it alot. Which means that I hear a lot of crap from the other players. And now, I embark upon the noble quest to determine whether their petty complaints have any truth to them. And if you have no idea what I'm talking about, don't worry about it. It's http://www.callofduty.com/ if you really have no clue.
By the way, before I start this and get around 50 million emails and messages and comments claiming this that or the other thing, please know that THESE ARE MY OBSERVATIONS! My friends and I tried all these tricks, and I'll give the specifics on what exactly I did. If you found something different, good for you, post a comment and tell me. And if you're just whining, then grow up.
Anyway...
To begin, today's trick involves a complaint I heard about a while ago. I actually forget the specifics, but the jist of it was that people could use the pistols in game to snipe other players from far off. And this just was bugging me. Being a sniper, it annoyed me to no end. So, I tested it out.
Logged into the Rockets map, and my friend and I pulled out the Luger and Webley, respectively. We even enabled that neat distance measure that I think SA servers and others have on. These results were all in prone. At 40 meters, I fired six shots, of which only one hit. My friend hit twice out of eight. 1/6 and 1/4, about 20% accuracy.
It got worse as the distance increased. At 70 meters, only one of twenty pistol shots hit. 5%.
The results? That complaints and whines about pistol snipers are unfounded. The pistol, in Call of Duty at least, just isn't the kind of superweapon that these people complain about. Frankly, if you've been killed by the pistol at long range, you've obviously been:
A) Already so weakened and a stray shot hit you, thus killing you. Happens to the best of us.
B)You are an idiot, and stand out in the middle of an open field, watching as someone attempts to pistol you.
I prefer to think most complaints come from (A) rather than (B). Anyway, this concludes today's Call of Duty myth.
