Call of Duty not representative of military life, says Ghosts producer
"There an enormous amount of appreciation for what [veterans] do," Rubin told Game Informer. "In no way do we feel we are a representation of what their lives are like. We are trying to be a cinematic movie experience based on authentic equipment and authentic experience. A lot of the stuff that we show in the game has been done by someone, but it's not a representation of what they do or it's not an equivalent in any way of what they do. We're just trying to make a fun movie."
This is clearly a different approach than the one EA took with Medal of Honor.
Though it's a fictional experience, Hirshberg does note that veterans are included in the development process. "We try to make our games authentic, we try to get the feel right. And then, also, there are guys who come in and do our mo-cap for us and become actors in the game, do the stunts in our commercials, and certainly, there are some high-level consultants who have some harrowing stories that have been some of the inspiration for some of the missions and levels in our games."

Ortho Well why would they? Go join the army for realism.
I agree with you. I don't see how CoD could be anything like the army other than the fact that you shoot people.

Happens all the time. Also, they all say they want to be in the army because of it.

Better yet, when people claim they know about guns, military, and weapons when all they do is play Call of Duty.
Omg yes, this happens all the time. It always cracks me up

I would have assumed it to be obvious that Call of Duty doesn't represent military life, if someone believes that it does, they are incredibly foolish. The way Call of Duty is created to work as is a more enjoyable experience than are more realistic one. Call of Duty has the enjoyable, over-the-top gaming style, whilst Battlefield has the enjoyable, more realistic style, both games are good at what they do. As for getting military personnel to test the games, it is a great idea to get input from people who have experienced what the games are based up.

SliceFX Yet this still get marines to demo their games...
That doesn't mean anything.
Just because a marine plays a video game doesn't mean he is playing it to simulate combat.

If someone ever confused Call of Duty with a war simulator, they need to be evaluated for mental health. Call of Duty is for entertainment. Not to train you to go fight overseas.

ImmerseGmlukens I don't look for this game to represent real combat... I just want a fun game
Same here, I just like the arcade style shooter, if I'm feeling that "Realistic Style Combat" I could just play Battlefield for a bit.
Either way, I'm still hyped for both games.
Same here.. I just played it to have fun
