Real life FPS

There have been a huge streak of FPS games these days simulating "real" warfare. They are quite intense with lots of different guns, stages, and huge multiplayer action. For those that haven't ever played Call of Duty, here is a clip:



Pretty action-packed eh? The thing about these games is that there is a major detachment from what actual army fights are like. In the games, the player has no value for the life they are given. When they die they respawn and are given another chance later on. This allows the player to rush recklessly with guns ablaze with no real repercussions other than maybe losing the online match.

Here is a video of a first person perspective of an actual soldier fighting it out of a REAL ambush:



It may seem less "intense" but in real life you only get on chance. One tiny mistake will cost everything. Not only your own life, but you are putting your comrades' lives in danger as well. Once you realize that, this would have been one of the most intense clips you ever watch...
