I also don't understand the complaints people have for this game. This is *NOT* DOOM 3 or Painkiller! Those games are great & fun, but they are designed for arcade action, whereas BIA is about realism.

My friends & I play paintball(skirmish) every so often and we found that the tactis required for this game is quite similar to the non-virtual world.

As for the complaints about accuracy of the guns - in real life, it is not easy to hit a target, and a lot harder if you "shoot from the hip" instead of aiming properly. With WW2 era weapons & rifles I would expect that there's a lot of recoil after firing a weapon, so you don't have the luxury of knowing if you've hit a target.

I feel that the complaints are from people who don't appreciate the realism built into the game.

Although I admit that the "situation awareness" is not realistic.
