Hmmmmmmmm. Well, you can program a game so that you can HEAR when a bullet comes close to you, so theoretically you should be able to trigger some other events from bullets passing/hitting nearby.

But more likely, he\'s going to get nailed and he\'s going to have to wait 40-60 seconds to be able to come back. His team mates are going to be down a man possibly when they might need him most.

Actually that’s kind of the point. Typically in games like DoD or A’sA, if you have two groups clashing, say of 5 guys each, about 8 of them will be killed in a 30-60 sec firefight. So the game becomes a case of hide-and-seek, kill quick, die, respawn, repeat. Generally you spend much more time finding the enemy than fighting them. Not to mention the times you get shot in the back waaaaay behind the “front line”.

Compare that to some of the longer more intense firefights in CoD. A couple of times playing DoD_Flash I saw some longer firefights and they were great fun. Personally, I’d rather have a good 3 or 4 minute firefight where the odds of hitting/being hit were a lot lower, but I spent more time shooting than playing hide-and-seek.

Does anyone else feel that way or am I alone on that?
