By your own admission you're 13. You are just starting to enter the most formative years of your life. You have no idea how you're going to feel in five years, let alone ten.

Yes COD is 100% accurate in how it represents combat anyone that is good at COD should consider joining the Navy Seals or the Rangers you have all the skills needed.

I fail to see how a game like COD can disturb a person yet a game like Halo does not disturb the same person that is simply an illogical claim when both of them show humans in violent
situations the only difference is in one the enemies in one are humans and in another they are humanoids yet in Halo the humanoids kill humans and you see this so really there is no difference
from a moral standpoint if you have a seriuos issue with the deception of humans beings killed or harmed then both games should disturb you.

Also COD does not reflect what real combat is like in the slightest fashion most people that like COD would never allow themselves to be a in real combat situation because they are button mashing twerps and putting their lives in danger is only worthy when seeking a resupply for Mountain Dew by asking mom and dad for the money which would require them to do chores a life threatening activity for most COD players.

^^^^^

Yes, but quite a lot of Halo fiction has strong anti-war themes, and people or aliens never get blown apart; there's almost no gore apart from a little blood. Also, one of the main messages of Halo is that you should only kill something if it wants to kill you. The problem I have with CoD is its casual depiction of human death and suffering, while in Halo that's the thing you're fighting so desperately to stop.

Also, 6-foot long worms are not humanoid.

Sounds like you've spent too much time playing Halo.

That would be what I would say about the targets I took out in RL service.

I was talking about when you throw grenades at them, but I probably didn't make that clear.

I've never played any Games that show graphic, gory deaths.
Maybe that's one reason I like the SH series so much.
It's a detached kill that I have no visual attachment to.
I don't even use the Life Boats mod anymore myself.
I played a Game once as a Sniper.
I decided that was to close to what I wanted to keep behind me and not think about.
Not that I am sorry for what I had to do. Just that I don't want to dwell on it.
