Beware of trading scammers!

A subreddit for anything related to games (but not sports). "Related" means that posts must contain gaming-related content in the link/post body, not just a "forced" connection via the title or a caption added to the content.

"Generic" image macros/memes (where the character itself is not related to gaming) like Scumbag Steve, Good Guy Greg, etc. will be removed. Something that "reminds you of a game", or "looks like something from a game" is also not an appropriate submission.

"Realistic" is not realistic. If you've shot a handgun, you know that you actually need to look down the sights. Doom is actually the closest to reality.

[–]cole2493 12 points13 points ago

thank you for being the only person on reddit other than myself that knows how to properly shoot a handgun

...joooin usssss...

[–]j1mmie 24 points25 points ago

That would explain why the Marine can take so much damage.

[–]jonesy852 6 points7 points ago*

It would also explain all the grunting he does throughout the game. ;)

[–]Tuqui0 -3 points-2 points ago

I didn't know a dead body would grunt that much /s

[–]Fyrefly7 34 points35 points ago

TIL you play all of DOOM from the perspective of a corpse impaled on some guy's arm.

This is why the "retarded" one looks the way it does.

[–]slipperyfist 2 points3 points ago

The gun being in the center makes sense, his forearm being in the center does not.

Hey this comic strip hasn't been played out enough yet.

[–]Psionic_Flash 1 point2 points ago

When you fire a gun you don't concentrate on your arm you concentrate on the gun. You have to take into consideration that the shooter is aiming, he is "zoned in" not starring at his forearm.

[–]Pyromaniac605 2 points3 points ago

Yeah, but he won't be holding it up to his face, he'd be holding it out in front of him with both hands.

[–]slcrook 0 points1 point ago

Depending on circumstance. One might bend the elbow to shorten arm distance in close quarters, advancing around corners, and you wouldn't want to lock the elbow at full stretch for an aimed shot. Keeping the joint bent a slight bit is better for the transference of recoil. But my real issue is that there are never (aside from CS) any left-handed player models.

[–]Momentumjam 6 points7 points ago

Usually I hate fixed posts, but this one was hilarious.

[–]posetowns 1 point2 points ago

that is is why doom is the best.

[–]OK_Eric 1 point2 points ago

Counter Strike has always struck me with the guns being too slanted compared to other shooter games.

[–]HGHellkeeper 1 point2 points ago

Most FPS's in general.

[–]cheesefaceman1 1 point2 points ago

Haha, it's funny because it's true.

Rip and tear, RIP AND TEAR!

[–]openmyth 0 points1 point ago

If you see "realistic" when you try to shoot (and both eyes are open), then you're aligned with your non-dominant eye. Either learn to focus with the eye that's on you dominant hand's side, shoot across your center of body (bring forearm over a minute amount and slightly "break" your wrist), or close one eye (really not recommended from an awareness perspective).

[–]psychotronofdeth 0 points1 point ago

relevant!

[–]Luthos 0 points1 point ago

I just hate when the gun is aimed so it would hit 45 degrees to the left of the aiming cursor.

[–]Juliendnb 0 points1 point ago

The face the Marine is making is terrifying.

[–]cr125er 0 points1 point ago

This did not warrant a brand new post.

[–]ninzo09 -1 points0 points ago

Should have just commented this in the original submission. Just saying.
