didn't gears of war invent cover mechanics? I mean, true glue to a wall and blindfire cover mechanics?
I remember seeing a trailer on my households crappy old pc ages ago (must be ten years?) and that and oblivion was what convinced me to get a 360.
for anyone that cares by the way, I have an original white 360 that hasn't red ringed me. must have been the only one ha ha
anyway, in the super duper limited edition gears of war box, there was a little art book with a fore word from cliffy b, the mega manager/director/dogsbody, whatever his job was at epic.
he said he was out paintballing and he was inspired by the feeling of rushing and slamming into cover with paintballs wizzing over his head to make gears of war, or something like that.
he spoke about realism and eliminating the strafing that was going on in first person shooters at the time like quake.
so is it pointless?
depends on your view, do you want realism? or do you not care too much?
