Now i kinda want a third person shooter (not sim) where you have to manually manage ammo in real time, in environments where you can be flanked.

I could see the following scenario playing out:

> you've got an AR of some kind, low on ammo, no backup gun, no backup mag

> in the middle of a firefight

> see an ammo crate

> waste your last few bullets blind firing while running to ammo

> pull out a box of bullets and sit down next to the crate

> bullets whizz past and you only manage to load one bullet into your mag before:

> "he's reloading!"

> one guy sprinting at you from around the corner

> double tap the reload button to feed a single bullet into the chamber, and cycle.

> tap cancel button to quit reloading and stand up

> tap cancel again to enter "oh shit oh fuckin sh-" mode

> character drops the mag, grabs a handful of bullets from the box and shoves them into their pocket

> fire > miss

> reload while running back to cover

> you trip on a rock

> you drop your gun and all the bullets spill out onto the floor

> the enemies surround you

> they start pointing at you and laughing

> "what a loser, get a load of this enemy combatant"

> they capture you

> you spend the next three days as a prisoner manually reloading the magazines which will be used to kill your comrades

> if you're too slow they'll slap you and call you mean names in a foreign language

There are VR games where you can basically do a lot of this. No tripping and spilling bullets or being taken prisoner, but the full simulation of ammo, magazine, and chambering.

I played a battle royale game in VR once where in the pre-match fuck-around period, someone stole my gun out of my hands so I took the ammo lying on the bed and threw it out the window so he couldn’t get it. We had a laugh, he gave the gun back, and I shot him with it.

Good times.
