While most of it resembles real life, does it actually fit in the frame of reality? Thanks to a video from Gamology featuring war veterans, we now know the difference. 

US Marines Jason and Patrick reacted to Call Of Duty moments to reveal the truth. From an army man’s perspective, video games might be the last thing close to an actual firefight. However, the realistic depiction of these moments does hold the essence. Nevertheless, they can never resemble real-life moments where one is fighting for their life.

Trust me, in Afghanistan or Iraq, a hand-drill as a weapon of choice.” Sometimes, games do not portray the actual truth; this definitely got revealed through this review. “I really wished in real life I had a heads up display anytime there is a grenade around me,” well that tells you a lot, doesn’t it?
