But I just installed 'Call to Duty 3'. It's just like the real thing!!!!

HA !!!

What a stupid statement !!! Everyone knows civilians can't learn to
fire a gun in simulation !!! Only real life drill instructors can
teach you how to pull a trigger !!!

You must be a troll, and I'm putting you on a list. Yeah, that's
right. You heard me. And your mother too... because she once said
something nice about you.

Nonono. You missed the point entirely.

Anyone can learn to fire a gun using "Call to Duty" if they have the proper
controller.

However, there are real-life sensations, such as intense fear for one's
life, bugs stinging your nose when you are hiding in the bushes 6 inches
from the enemy who is hunting for your, and the realization that if you
actually do fire your gun you are more likely to give away your position
and be "lit up" by the other 7 enemies who are looking for you too.

These sensations cannot be accurately duplicated in a computer game.

Perhaps they are simulated better in a full-motion simulator, such as
Paintball.
