Oh so it makes sense that he wouldn't be talking when his arm has just been violently ripped off. For all the talks of "realistism" and "immersion", something like that can easily take you out of the experience. Remember when Menendez blasted both of Woods' knees. That was a little bit squirmish to me, mostly because of the way Woods was reacting to it; he was grunting, he tried to knock the shotgun away, he sounded rabid, like how someone would probably react to a situation like that. But the way the arm thing was presented was really confusing, it made it look like it was the other guy's arm. Unless you can personally attest to remaining silent in the face of sudden amputation, the only reason that Mitchell doesn't talk in that scene is because it's gameplay and he's not supposed to.
