I do not know about actual combat, but I think the original report was not referring to military combat. Clearly, type the ground is the best bet in that situation because, as you say, the marksmanship of the enemy and accuracy of weapons. I can think of that falls to the ground when a gun fight with a pistol normally would not be your best choice. Directory Submission Classified Ad Submission

@Vandelay

“Real life firefights often are now mostly between people with assault rifles, which are much easier to lead with than pistols, and strafing doesn’t match the protection cover gives, but in a limited cover environment, strafing is almost absolutely necessary to not die.”

Yeah, it was referring to military fighting.

In a close-range fight, of course going prone is useless. You should immediately move for cover. If there is none, just stand and shoot, it’ll be over in a matter of seconds anyway, and jittering around isn’t going to do you any good. Under no circumstances is strafing back and forth in the open a good idea in real life.

I’m prone to this disorder, if someone farts near me I turn round and shove them away with near deadly accuracy and am vaugely dissapointed that I’m not covered in bile and having to fend of a horde of rabid half dead.

The inventory swapping bit killed me. Cereal, OJ, 9mm, butter knife.

Yeah, and during my brief obsession with Black & White it was always infuriating that I couldn’t just grab and uproot any tree I could see.

After playing Jedi:Outcast a few years ago I felt frustrated that I couldn’t use Force move on things. Particularly grabbing remote controls that were just out of reach. It all seemed so plausible and natural in game.

I never resorted to walking into walls after playing Portal so maybe I got better? Don’t let me anywhere near Mirror’s Edge!

I don’t know anything about real combat, but I think the original quote was not referring to military fighting. Obviously, hitting the ground is the best bet in that situation due to, as you say, the marksmanship of the enemy and the accuracy of the weapons. I would have thought dropping to the ground when in a gun fight with ordinary pistols would not be your best option.

Funny video.

Well I was chuckling, and there were laughs at the item selection and the unexpected SF death at the end.
