If anyone needed more proof

This video is aimed at specifically addressing the following criticisms about the video I posted in response to Shawn Elliot's comments on GFW Radio on 1.23.08. View it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xkwx7XctE6M&eurl=http://ve3d.ign.com/

For example:

"Easy difficulty doesn't count."
(Note: last video specifically stated hard difficulty)
"8 shots from a high powered rifle, point blank range--this is his proof that weapons in Crysis aren't underpowered?"
"Yeah, this shit is ridiculous. Wasn't even paying attention to the fact that he's using an assault rifle like an mp5."
"Its annoying to shotgun a fool 3 times center mass and have him absorb it."
"...Plenty of four-burst center mass episodes happening, though with no silencer and suit set to strength."
"I'm not saying that Dan's video is right, I mean if he wanted to show how easy it is to kill people in that game he would just gotten one shot head shots, which isn't that hard at the distance he was at(it's called gun sights I suppose he couldn't figure out how to map that control to his mouse, shame really). I guess shooting from the hip rambo style on easy, while saying it was hard mode is more his style."
(Note: everyone knows how many head shots it takes to kill a soldier. These videos are intended to show how many body shots it takes.)

I love how the vague generalization "other games" comes to mean one other game, HL2 Lost Coast.

_____Another thing, it shouldn't take SEVENTEEN BULLETS to down ANYBODY! Some people are all like, "Duh... Submachine guns and pistols aren't powerful in real life." Really now? Okay, so let me shoot THEM seventeen times with a pistol. Hell, I'll even make it a pistol loaded with .380 ACP. Let's see 'em call pistols and submachine guns weak after THAT! They won't, 'cause they'll be DEAD. Then we'd have to go to Hell to ask the question. Most video game firearms suck.

_____Sucks to that ass-mar! All the weapons in BOTH of those games suck--loaded with rubber bullets and fireworks that do NO REAL DAMAGE. When you shoot a guy, he's supposed to die. What's this crap about standing five feet from somebody's chest and emptying entire magazines into them, reloading, and STILL having to hit them before they go down? Hey game-makers, how about some realistic damage! Most game-makers have no friggin' respect for the power of firearms; that's what I think.

the best test would be to get some people in a line and shoot at them using the same weapons then look at the results:P

[zombie112]

yeah, but if your playing on hard/delta, the KPA kill you in 3-4hits or less.

[RicochetSaw]

shotgun is not for long range, besides, the other video might have been using the (wide spread) mode of the shotgun...

[CaptainHJ]

you know that crysis was in beta when that 1up "preview" was posted, hint: see the power change screen is square, not like the current one. plus crytek patched the game for the ai diffulty like the week it came out.

[dinkcool]

and i actually think that the enemys in hl2 is MUCH easier to kill than the KPA soldiers

[dinkcool]

one diffrense is that in hl2 the enermies are some kind of aliens with high tec armor. you cant call tht KPA for aliens with high tec armor (im not counting the nano suit).

[dinkcool]

3-4 shots would be fine and 1 headshot
