>>If I could change just one thing about the ME combat system, it'd
be that it
seems *too easy* to hit your target. The real world records, as established by criminals, civilians and police, just doesn't match up that well against ME. Against this, though, you have to consider that BE/BE agents do not work a
40-hour week, eight hour shifts over five days with two days off. BE/BE
agents work an intense 'whatever-it-takes' shift at high adrenaline levels, with
weeks to months between assignments. Additionally, even police are trained
in Conflict Management first, and 'shoot to kill' as a last
resort. A police officer's first concern is to resolve the situation,
generally non-lethally. Most non-BE/BE agents do not have the luxury of
time and money to practice with their firearms eight to twelve hours a day
during non-mission times. And by the time it gets to the point where BE/BE
is called in, the situation has gone way beyond 'let's all play nice and see if
we can resolve it diplomatically.'
Perhaps the combat system is too easy for real world criminals, civilians
and police. But do any of us know anyone who actually works for
a real world organization similar to BE/BE, who would have not only the
levels of training BE/BE requires but who would know about the stresses
such operative would be under?
