even though Mortal Kombat, and Soul Caliber claim there is no rules just winning. No one ever brings a gun to a tournment....
not even for a finishing move (hey, I could see Sonja, Kano, Jax, and a few of the SC types doing it....)

Striker, I think his name was, in MK3 pulls out gun and squeezes off a few shots when he wins a match. But you're right.

Another set! This time, courtesy of C&C: Generals:
1. WWII-tech tanks can actually stand up to modern armor, if deployed in quantity. Also, cobbled-together missiles you can slap on said WWII tanks guide in with 100% efficiency and can do significant damage to an american MBT.
2. Flashbangs kill people better than tank guns
3. Said flashbangs can kill everybody in a fortified building with one blast.
4. If you inhale antrax spores, you will turn blue and die immediately.
5. Sometimes you will turn green and die immediately
6. Shoulder-launched Stinger missiles have a chance in hell of intercepting sub-orbital bombers.
7. They do, because said bombers really only fly 30 feet off the ground. The same goes for B-52s, which can be easily brought down by manually-aimed quad cannons mounted on an old half-track.
8. The only way an F-22 can avoid stingers is to fly real straight, real fast.
9. Air bases can only house four airplanes, but an unlimited number of helicopters.
10. Aircraft use no fuel.
11. A 5.56x45mm burst fired from an M-16 will wound a man slightly. A single 7.62x51 round fired from a sniper rifle will kill a man imemdiately.
12. Jerman Kal's rifle uses similar rules, only it shoots exactly the same bullets as the Rebel's Kalasznikov
13. You can kill an entire tank crew with a well-aimed sniper rifle shot.
14. If an F-22 pilot ejects, he can hop into a tank and use his experience to aid it's crew in battle. However, don't think he'll be able to drive a fighter anymore.
15. Tank drivers wear oxygen masks and flight suits
16. Despite them having flooded several villagges they were supposed to rescue, killing the ambassador who was ready to negotiate with them, slaughtering civilians, stealing UN aid and generally treating their recruitment base like shit, people still follow the GLA.
17. Until the USA destroys a city the GLA controls, after which everything is cool again and people are dancing on the streets.
18. The USA doesn't need to deal with public opinion aver wiping out several ancient minarrets and killing tons of civvies in order to get one sniper.
19. A-10s can't hunt tanks, they can only kill them if they happen to be in an area designated for attack
20. The USA doesn't have any direct-fire artillery, short for battleship guns.
21. While US Rangers can fast-rope into buildings and on the streets, a pumped-up serial-killer commando (col. Burton) can't.
22. The Chinese build their missile silos to look like Pagodas.
23. Angry Mobs will remain anrgy even after standing in the same place for two hours doing nothing.
24. Gatling guns will only spin with their fastest speed (and thus rate of fire) after firing no faster than a simple machine gun for a long while.
25. After shooting long enough, gatling tanks can kill MBTs
26. You can hack primitive stone huts and take them over. You can also disable manually-driven vehicles this way, thus indicating that even the GLA connects their stuff to the Internet.
27. Nigerian scams and credit-card frauds are really the work of Chinese hackers working from a warzone somewhere to provide cash for their commanders to buy new toys.
28. The GLA actually thinks fortifying themselves with big stone walls is an effective tactic (last US mission)
29. "Providing security" for a parade means watching troops march down the road through your command interface (first Chinese mission).
30. Toxin tractors are effective against main battle tanks
31. China has no helicopters or special forces
32. China also has no navy

GTA III and GTA: VC (PS2 version at least):
Tanks are built with doors in the side.
No car door will be able to be locked. Ever.
You can carry all sorts of weapons and implements of mayhem, but they will be invisible unless you're actually using them.
Random twitching around, changing of weapons, punching, kicking, and occasional weapons discharge can cause you to gain life, have armor magically appear on your person/repair it, give you weaponry/reload said weaponry, cause tanks and other vehicles to drop from the sky, and various other wierd things (like giving random passerby weapons, causing riots, etc.)

Fallout:
attacking someone with ammo in your equipped items will give you an infinate number of actions per turn.
Igana on a stick is made from people!
Red Ryder LE BB guns will kill a deathclaw faster then a flame thrower or rocket launcher.
A dog can do more damage to a robot then a guy with a seriously big hand cannon, and 200% chance to hit.

34. As above, but with three A-10s and a big strategic nuke.
35. Even though their main gun is horribly ineffective against infantry, a tank will never use its machine guns.
36. A tanks also don't have any weapons they can use to fire at airborn vehicles, even if they have lasers for shooting down missiles.
37. Stealth fighters are invisible to the naked eye, unless said eyes belong to people sitting in a sandbagged implacement.
38. You can't enter a tunnel built by the enemy.

there are very few problems that large quanities of dynamite can't solve. (waasteland, Fallout & Fallout 2)
Red Ryder BB-Guns do more damage then assult rifles, and are more accurate for making critical strikes.

It's not like it won't USE them - it's just that a tank apparently needs a hi-tech laser to kill infantry (and it doesn't work very good, eitherSymmetry wrote:35. Even though their main gun is horribly ineffective against infantry, a tank will never use its machine guns.
)Forgot about this. And remember, in order to detect cloaked units China and the USA need extremely complicated sensors or ultra-well trained Marine sharpshooters, but the GLA can do the same with a cobbled-together radar truck or a bunch of guys wearing towels on their heads hiding behind sandbagsSymmetry wrote:37.
