the main problem however is that the humans in this "simulation" don't have real human limitations such as fatigue which would totally change the way the action happens. thus without fatigue the game doesn't really simulate a real SWAT/CT vs T situation. and i'm not just talking about jumping up and down.
running while shooting accurately is impossible in the real world. hell, even just running all the time is impossible. a huge part of real world strategy accounts for fatigue, how to overcome the effects of fatigue. that's why buildings on a hill are more strategic, not just because of the visibility aspects. also because they are much more difficult to storm UPWARDS then if they were on a flat surface. not to mention that a TRULY accurate situation would involve a bunch of diplomats and negotiators talking with the Ts while the CTs sit around with orders to cease fire :P ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brad Ball" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, October 02, 2001 1:48 PM Subject: RE: Found hitbox problem > > Ok Ok. maybe it's not REALLY a simulation, but I would say that it is > 'meant to be' a simulation.
