10 Video Game Jobs That Were Completely Missold

2. Soldier

Modern shooters go with the flow, much like action films. The enemy in recent Medal of Honor's, Battlefield's and Call Of Duties, has been mostly Middle Eastern. That's because this is what gamers expect. Occasionally you'll get a throwback to it being the Russians, or they might go really retro and just make another World War 2 game. In any case, you're either going to kill people or you're going to kill a lot of people. Well, war is scary. Duh, right? Soldiers fighting today don't confirm as many kills in their career as your standard fourteen year-old does on Xbox Live. I don't know about you, but I'd be afraid to stick my head up out of cover to see what was happening, let alone run over and squat over my freshest kill.
Occasionally you'll take a trip into the not too distant future and witness the horrors that war as wrought. The only option now of course, is to fight. 'Merica! Seriously though, where are the robot soldiers already. Regardless of how you feel about wars, or soldiers, those men and women risk their lives. In the games where you play as a soldier, all you risk is your controller and your flat screen television because 'that same kid just won't shut up'. Suffice it to say that in real life you don't regenerate health points. Remember that before you enlist.
