do bullets fragment three inches into water?

Some weapons do, but other weapons are subsonic, and thus don't.

Pistols yes, rifles yes, shotguns no. Buckshot works best.

But, the water would slow down anything it didn't fragment.

Right, but the incredibly tiny chunks of buckshot are still going fast enough to pierce you. A bullet is ripped apart to such an extent that there's really nothing left to hit.

This was on mythbusters actually, Pistols and Shotguns are still fatal, anything more powerful than that basically disintigrates, even mega guns like Elephant guns and sniper rifles are useless at 4ft and more.

Ok first impressions:

1. Whoever set the defult settings and controls for this game is a complete retard. I had to go out and remap the entire keyboard, just so that the damn game was playable. "Hay guys! Let's make drop weapon the \ key, and it'd be fun to make Z 'use.' On top of that, let's make ALT prone!" On top of key mishaps, the initial resolution given is 800x600, but the HUD can't work with anything smaller then 1024x768, so...

2. The game itself is pretty fun though. All sorts of Eastern front hijinks, realistic physics/graphics. (Makes call of duties iron sights look like a joke, and the sniper scope is FUCKING IMPRESSIVE) Legs can be blown off, and damage really does... damage.

3. The downside to the realism, is that it's almost TOO realistic. I can't quite explain this one, but you'll know what I mean if you try it out.

Overall, I'd give it a 7.5 out of 10 for a first impression, but the game itself probably merits a 8.5. It's just the shitty defults that lost it a point.

NES, SNES, N64, Sega stuff (not sure, exactly), and TurboGraphix.


So, Sega stuff, Nintendo stuff, and The Turbo Graffix-16.

You do relize this means Segata Sanshiro, Captain N, and Johnnny Turbo all share a neighborhood now, don't you?

I'm talking about Red Orchestra and it's 5 day free trial.

EDIT: It's not quite that. It's just that everything's funky... but in a totally realistic way.

I would like to see a game do that though, you get shot in the heart, and you have to wait to bleed to death to die.

I know I like games where I can't move for five minutes before dying.

It would be a good example when I am telling people who say games need to be more realisitic off.

Realism? But not boring?

I don't see why one character has to die entirely before you can take control of another character. Leave the body to die his slow death and respawn in a different one. What's so hard about that?

I mean no offense, but I find the WW2 campaign games to be uniformly bland, indistinct, and boring.

I avoid military games in general; if I wanted to be in the military, I'd join the military.
