FPS Gamers get a Reality Check
One of my favorite YouTube shows is Matthew Patrick’s Game Theory, dubbed the "Smartest Show in Gaming." Matthew, aka MatPat, dissects games, characters, and gaming culture using math, psychology, and years of research experience. In his latest video, he joins the Ubisoft marketing juggernaut and releases a really well made video.
The video showcases the reality of a SWAT team versus what goes down in Rainbow Six: Siege. He joins up with a handful of his friends and fellow YouTube gamers and a squad of actual L.A. SWAT officers in a training exercise. They use paintball training rounds in actual firearms, which would definitely hurt… a lot. The video is great at showing the high pressure that goes into hostage situations. You can hear genuine fear in their voices as they really don’t want to get shot by these training rounds.
You might kick ass at FPS games, but do you think you could handle the real deal?! Let’s get talkin’ in those comments!
