User blog:MarlboroNS/Anachronism in weapons in Black Ops.

Before commenting negative bile, hear me out. Much is made of "realism" in games, but the most basic, basic thing is to have guns from the correct time period. Black Ops is found horribly wanting in this particular area.

So here's a list of guns that basically should not have been included in Black Ops. Remember, Black Ops' campaign finishes in 1968, so therefore any gun after this period should not be there.

Enfield- 1985

FAMAS- 1978

Galil- 1972

AUG- 1979

Commando- 1969

G11- Late 70's

MP5k- 1976

MAC11- 1972

AK-74u- 1979

MPL- 1985

Spectre- 1980's

Kiparis- 1991

WA2000- 80's

L96A1- 1982

PSG1- 1972

SPAS-12- 1979

ASP- 1970's

CZ75- 1976

Strela 3- 1974

China Lake- 1969

So there you have it. I also couldn't find exact dates for the Olympia and HS-10 so they are excluded. 20 out of 40 weapons (half) shouldnt be in the game. Finally, don't go on about "prototypes" or whatever, the factions featured in Black Ops would be using tried and tested weapons not guns that hadn't even been thought of in reality.
