:::::::[[Image:Smiley Face.jpg|20px|bottom|Rebut]] With ammo limits in play, the game encourages shot '''quality''' over shot '''quantity'''. I rather kill 5 to 10 enemies in 30 rounds or less with controlled bursts from one single SMG than waste 60 rounds killing 2, maybe 3 thugs dual wielding the same gun, both fired full auto. | :::::::[[Image:Smiley Face.jpg|20px|bottom|Rebut]] With ammo limits in play, the game encourages shot '''quality''' over shot '''quantity'''.

::::::::[[Image:Smiley Face.jpg|20px|bottom|Rebut]]Dual wielding is a very impractical thing to do with any weapon. It's very inaccurate and hard to do in real life, and was only brought to life by mall ninjas in various Hollywood films. | |||

[[Image:Angry Face.jpg|20px|bottom|Gripe]]You can't use free-aim because the targeting reticule automatically locks on to pedestrians, so you'll have to use your [[Sniper Rifle]] to shoot pigeons. Even if you try and force the aiming reticule off of the pedestrians, it will simply lock on to another pedestrians, so there is no way to make the aiming reticule let you aim yourself. | [[Image:Angry Face.jpg|20px|bottom|Gripe]]You can't use free-aim because the targeting reticule automatically locks on to pedestrians, so you'll have to use your [[Sniper Rifle]] to shoot pigeons.

::[[Image:Smiley Face.jpg|20px|bottom|Rebut]]GTA is not Rainbow Six, so weapon add-ons are not needed. A laser sight and a reflex scope may sound okay, but there's no first-person iron sight aiming with weapons outside of the sniper rifles. And it may be possible that Mayor Ochoa is positively terrified of anything relating to firearms, that he's went and banned all firearm-related accessories in Liberty City. | ::[[Image:Smiley Face.jpg|20px|bottom|Rebut]]GTA is not Rainbow Six, so weapon add-ons are not needed.

:::[[Image:Angry Face.jpg|20px|bottom|Gripe]] I dont get it. Niko doesnt have time?? What is he doing with that 10 minutes it takes to add a flashlight to a carbine rifle? Plus, after you beat the game, what does Niko do that he needs that time for besides hang out with friends and girlfriends?? Right... Nothing!! | :::[[Image:Angry Face.jpg|20px|bottom|Gripe]] I dont get it. Niko doesnt have time?? What is he doing with that 10 minutes it takes to add a flashlight to a carbine rifle?

::::[[Image:Smiley Face.jpg|20px|bottom|rebut]]It won't even take 10 minutes to put a tac light on an M4. However, because this game is a third person shooter, customization would be useless (unless you're a gunsmith and made yourself an extended magazine or something). | |||

[[Image:Angry Face.jpg|20px|bottom|Gripe]]The [[Molotov Cocktail]] doesn't spread flames all over the ground, even if you throw 20 of them to the ground, and yet the fire still dies out, thus dramatically reducing realism. | [[Image:Angry Face.jpg|20px|bottom|Gripe]]The [[Molotov Cocktail]] doesn't spread flames all over the ground, even if you throw 20 of them to the ground, and yet the fire still dies out, thus dramatically reducing realism. | ||

:::::[[Image:Smiley Face.jpg|20px|bottom|Rebut]] This isn't CoD5! | :::::[[Image:Smiley Face.jpg|20px|bottom|Rebut]] This isn't CoD5! | ||
::::::[[Image:Smiley Face.jpg|20px|bottom|Rebut]] Besides,CoD was made AFTER GTA IV,so whatever. And if a game series is favored,such as CoD, it doesnt mean its newest version is the most realistic than anything. | ::::::[[Image:Smiley Face.jpg|20px|bottom|Rebut]] Besides,CoD was made AFTER GTA IV,so whatever.

:::::::[[Image:Smiley Face.jpg|20px|bottom|Rebut]]Obviously some loser never thought that CoD5 is a GAME with ZOMBIES. So basically, all realism in that game is thrown out the window. | |||

[[Image:Angry Face.jpg|20px|bottom|Gripe]]Okay so how come GTA SA has no realism? Neigh,how is it realistic the man carries sooo man guns and soooo much ammo in just ONE shirt.Where is Niko even keeping these guns?!It makes no sense! | [[Image:Angry Face.jpg|20px|bottom|Gripe]]Okay so how come GTA SA has no realism?

:[[Image:Smiley Face.jpg|20px|bottom|Rebut]]The projectile's warhead is equipped with a pressure-sensitive tip, not the entire grenade body. Real RPGs will skid along asphalt and concrete from time to time if fired at the correct angle. | :[[Image:Smiley Face.jpg|20px|bottom|Rebut]]The projectile's warhead is equipped with a pressure-sensitive tip, not the entire grenade body.

::[[Image:Smiley Face.jpg|20px|bottom|Rebut]]So I guess that might be the problem. Ok, I think I should aim at vehicles and on the ground at the correct aiming. Thanks for the help. | ::[[Image:Smiley Face.jpg|20px|bottom|Rebut]]So I guess that might be the problem. Ok, I think I should aim at vehicles and on the ground at the correct aiming.

:::[[Image:Smiley Face.jpg|20px|bottom|Rebut]] Yeah, that's correct. RPGs shoots grenades. Think of someone throwing a grenade extremely fast. | |||

[[Image:Angry Face.jpg|20px|bottom|Gripe]]I dont know if this concerns very many people, and its just kind of an opinion, but i dont like how if you buy a weapon that replaces a slot, for example if you have a pistol and you buy a combat pistol, you start out buying JUST the gun, no ammo. And it kinda sucks when you have maxed out bullets and you have to start from 0 again. Waste of cash. I mean i get the whole realism thing, but still. | [[Image:Angry Face.jpg|20px|bottom|Gripe]]I dont know if this concerns very many people, and its just kind of an opinion, but i dont like how if you buy a weapon that replaces a slot, for example if you have a pistol and you buy a combat pistol, you start out buying JUST the gun, no ammo.

[[Image:Angry Face.jpg|20px|bottom|Gripe]], Hey, this is just a minor issue. Do you notice that luis/niko/johnny run out of ammo? I shot up a hospital the other night and hid behind a pillar. These 3 cops started shooting in my direction.And they kept shooting..Because I was in cover, and none of them were running at me, I decided to make myself a sandwich. However, when I came back, they were STILL shooting..Why is it that I run out of ammo, but the police don't? And Don't give me the excuse "well, they're police officers, they have a lot of fire arms". I've seen cops in real life, and they usually only carry 2 magazines for their guns. I just think it'd be epic if the cop ran out of ammo the same time I did, forcing us to engage in fist fight. I just don't find it realistic..Also, I notice that the police don't reload their weapons. I'm hiding behind a pillar from a cop with a pump shotgun, and he just keeps firing on and on and on. It never stops. | [[Image:Angry Face.jpg|20px|bottom|Gripe]], Hey, this is just a minor issue. Do you notice that luis/niko/johnny run out of ammo?

:[[Image:Smiley Face.jpg|20px|bottom|Rebut]]This is a game. You don't see other video games with enemies that run completely empty out of ammo. | |||
