I enjoy a good FPS, even military sim styles like Battlefield, but that also why I wouldn’t join the real military. I enjoy it as a game, a fantasy where none actually get physical injured and everyone goes home at the end of a battle. I’ve seen enough “video game” violence to know I have zero desire to see the real thing or do such things to other people.
Battlefield isn’t a milsim. Aside from the few milsim communites that have existed over the years and mods like Project Reality, Battlefield games were never really the most realistc deptiction of warfare.
True, it isn’t a milsim. It’s a game in the milsim style, as I said. And not being a very realistic depiction is explicitly why I enjoy the fantasy of the game, but not the reality of warfare.
