There is clearly an epidemic of asthma causing these authentic highly trained future soldiers episodes of blurred/pulsing vision and heavy breathing as though struggling to breath at all.
While the loud heavy breathing and headache inducing visual effects are such a joy to deal with, I think there should be an asthma inhaler or shots that a medic can apply to both themselves and other soldiers suffering from asthma.
Or perhaps these digital soldiers are merely out of virtual shape and need a gym on Stratis and Altis to get their airborne shuffle on, that way when players decide to play and have fun, their soldier will be in shape and ready to go and then we can actually have fun and stuff.
Realism = fun right...
