Dogfights

Dogfights in The Great War fell under many probabilistic situations. For example, many of the planes dog fighters flew at the time were practically made of fossil wood. In other words, they blew up in a couple of shots of another plane or AA guns. Flying planes was also its own task, with mediocre controls and horribly dangerous safety measures, as well as problems with getting good pilots that could fly without stalling out. For instance, some of the first planes were built with car doors, making it very challenging to get out when your plane while it was careening into the ground. Another problem faced by dog fighters was parachute trouble, as parachutes were still crudely fashioned and often didn't deploy.

The Great War casualties

The great war showed many casualties throughout. The war is known as one of the greatest technological advances of all time, mainly because of the increase in deadly weapons invented during the time. For example, in the clip, it shows a closeup as some of the artillery strike cannons, soldiers using light machine guns, and pictures of battleships used in the great war. Because the great war was based solely around trench warfare, and strike cannons with a high ground position had the ability to break in trenched positions, they became popular fast. Also, disease was a big problem for the soldiers in the trenches, being stuck in hazardous environments, living close to many other soldiers for such a long period of time is dangerous, as disease would spread and thrive.  The great war also turned up the most deaths of its time because it was the first war that involved so many countries around the world.

Call of duty debate

     

     I believe games like Call of Duty should be allowed to exist because they provide information about the war they are set in, give the player a feel to the characters feelings, which are based on true soldiers dairies and blogs during the war, and show the true horrors that wars provide. War games have minor flaws that detain them from being entirely accurate. However, they provide major insight into the wars in a fun, safe environment. 

     War games teach players quite a lot about the war they are set in. They place you, the player, in major battles throughout the war and give strategic positions and war tactics used during the war. Some games allow you to play both sides of an ongoing war, and get a real understanding of how each side felt during the major battles.

     War games also give an insight of the soldiers feelings during the war. For example, if your side is losing a battle, you'll see the sad soldiers and occasionally soldiers committing suicide to show the harshness of the situation. Being able to re-spawn is not always the case, as some war games will give you different scenarios depending on if you die or live during a mission. For instance, in a mission that you fail, you're sent to a separate level rather than one that you win, where you're being yelled at by your commander before proceeding. These moments give players a strong connection to the soldiers, more than what a book or a picture can tell.

     War games most importantly show the true horrors soldiers face at war, such as suicides, genocide, friendly fire, assassinations, death of friends, and innocent people dieing at the hands of crossfire or cruelty. An example being the picture shown at the top of the page, thousands of innocent people at an airport dieing to terrorist cruelty. The horrible sights displayed in this games is what shows the true authenticity of the games, the feelings conveyed by the characters and their actions make one truly believe they are part of the war.
