"cover system" is cheap and unrealistic on GOW, R6Vegas, Ghost

i thnk cover system on these FPS is really a cheap new way for ppl who like to camp. It's nifty for a single player campaign, but when it's become a problem in multi play is just bad 'cause in real life u cant not see who's coming when your back is agaist the wall, your view shouldnt be able to swift around and see who's popping up from the other side while u are hiding....................overall it's cheap and get rid of it or make it more realistic

Gears is not a FPS, Halo is a FPS, and they are not even close to the same game.

Oh, yes........it's very unrealistic.  There's not an army on the entire planet that uses cover during combat when it's available....:roll:

Its not cheap so quite whining.

Yes because standing behind of a rock on GRAW and being able to see in front of it was really fair.................V4LENT1NE

very funny to know you would stand in the open instead of taking cover in real life. xxmystakalxx

I love the cover system.. because you would want to hide behind a few things if it was real life...kozzy1234

[QUOTE="marinebro0306"]Of all the unrealistic things in Gears (Hammer, Locusts, Frag tagging, Cole Train's awesomeness, etc...), you pick the cover system...Hcg4life

I can see where you're coming from as far as the Tom Clancy games are concerned. But don't complain about realism in Gears of War. If you are upset by lack or realism you shouldn't even be playing it. Anyways......

In Gears of War it takes pretty much a full cip of ammo to bring someone down anyways. Thats plenty of time to roll to cover should someone pop out from behind a wall and blast you. (Unless it's a shotgun. Then.... tough luck) But you should know if someone is behind cover anyways, the characters are so bulky they tend to spill over the sides and poke out over the top when crouched behind cover.

GRAW sucks online

In R6: Vegas the person behind cover can be just as easily killed as the person ou tin the open, if the person in the open has good reaction time, or knows they are there. If they know, they can just huck a grenade in and BOOM problem solved. If they are running down a corridor and someone pops out from behind a crate then depending on the guns being used, and the distance, that conflict can go either way. I've been killed behind cover and killed people behind cover many times.

As far as the "unrealism" of being able to see around the cover with the 3rd person camera...... grow up and stop yer belly achin.

actually soldiers in real life can see arounda corner if they are using that corner shot weapon...(watch Future Weapons on discovery channel). granted they may not be able to see everything but they can see and shoot around a corner without exposing themselves. so its really not that unrealistic. the only unrealistic thung would be the plane of view...dragonslayerssj

It is reverse realistic. You can see what you are not suppost to see, but you can't see what you are suppose to see. In any case, you will have blind spot.magicalclick

The Tom Clancy games take place a few years in the future, so they would have more advanced tech than this:

So the cover system isn't that unrealistic

urg....whatever, its a game mechanic, if oyu dont like it, dont buy games with it....i think its fun

If everybody has the same advantage, then how is it cheap?

How realistic would the TC expect a third person game to be anyway? I mean, I assume most posters on the forum don't get an over-the-shoulder view of their own bodies...

Besides, the fact that when in cover you can see around corners is cancelled out by the fact that by default you can't see things approaching from the "rear" (i.e. from the player towards the screen) direction, making them extra-vulnerable to flanking. As in real life, out-maneuver your opponent or be smashed.
