Video game question
I enjoy my WWII FPS's and they have ironically with their stunning realism, beautiful music, and etc, they have made me very much so against war, so here's the question, do you try to save guys even though they're not part of your objectives or what. I remember in Medal of Honor: Frontline when I am in Holland, I try to save Pfc Langeau who is the 82nd Airborne guy me and Cpl Barnes find early in the level and I also try to save the British guys in downtown Arnhem. In Call of Duty, this happens countless times too, and its even more sad when they die because they actually have names and stuff, and it just makes me feel proud to let a guy live, yes he's a polygon and yes I am weird but really, does anyone else do this?

1. MOH I would always try and kill all the civillians.
Cuz they are just pixels powered by electronic impulses.

6. There is an "attractive"
blond one in one of the buildings that would run away. I would always try and harass her. Rebuffing my advances, I had no choice but to "not allow her to fall into enemy hands."

8. I like FPSD's too,
but not ones that kill people. They got too realistic with Ghost Recon. The only thing I kill now is monsters.

9. One reason to love Far Cry
No civillians to worry about. Kill 'em all...er, harmonize them all.

10. I replay games so much...
I set up all sorts of "special" missions for myself. Trying to win without killing anyone. Killing my own teammates to allow the enemy to win ASAP (only when NOT playing online, btw.) Only fighting with a knife, or grenades, or by running people over with a jeep.

In Real Time Strategy games I try to win by only producing single type of unit, as far as I possibly can. (Winning Age of Kings with nothing but peasants, or monks, for example.)
