What's great about this is that Enemy at the Gates, a film Jude Law fails to ruin even slightly, has an identical scene, but it's just an "oh dear, what a scrape he's got himself into" moment. You know it's a film, and he's the main character, and therefore isn't going to get nobbled minutes into the opening surge, so it doesn't work. If you know your history, it's even less effective. In CoD, you can obviously die. That bullet-zipping-past noise haunts my dreams. The wet, fleshy noises of impact and the knowledge that one good shot can kill you is very thrilling. This could only work in a game. Films are pretty good at showing us what people are doing. Games are really good at showing you what it's like to be those people. Yep!
