I myself am casual gamer, I sit back in awe at the ones that can beat a game on hard or insane diffuculty. Mainly playing for fun, I realized, there are a lot of shooter and strategy games out there, that sport a historic alter worlds, or a sci fi settings. And Basiclly, each game has some interesting weapons or vehicles in them, I did some digging and found large arrays of vehicles, weapons, and such.
But, I still dont know half of them, so, if you guys here have a favorite, please, share it, I find it interesting, as in more recent video games, they have taken by example some present day ingenueities in equipment and weapons.So, if you want , then post a pic or some info about your favorite pick, and tell us a little about why you chose that one. Its kinda helps give one a idea on what goes through a game developer's head when they are making some of today's bestselling games.
Heres my favorite of all that I have found here lately.
Its called the King Raven, and it is from the new Xbox 360 game title Gears Of War. The reason I chose this one, is beacause I know a little more about it than all the others I recently discovered in my absence. I looked from game guides, to classic online game sites for Ideas, browsed big titles like Halo, and Star Wars, to odd ball titles, like Judge Dredge, and Turok Evolution (no offense to any fans).And well, I chose the King Raven. I , as a military aviation fan , took a quick liking to it, it is simple, and, since I actually bought and own the game, I know a little bit more about it.
Odd looking next to a Lynx or Black hawk, but, when I first started playing the game, I expected something like a Tie Fighter, or dropship. But no, I was wrong, and instead found out that the designers stuck with the good ole rotor craft we all know as the helicopter.Spoiler Warning!
I chose this also because it has alot backseat driving in the storyline, as actually the life line of the main character (Literely!). On the last mission, a daring veteren pilot rushes his agile Raven to the rescue, and with one swoop, flys under a train truss's support colums, over a fast moving train, and sweeps up the main characters. (Unlikely I know, but, hey, its a video game,just for fun).Almost always over head , and ready for your extraction, or unfortunatly, making it your next objective with a crash site.
Armed with two M 134 look alikes, and foward heavy cannons. This aircraft also packs some heat. (which in the storyline, it will need it!) Thats why I chose this one above all, and can carry up to 12 fully loaded Gears(Soldiers).

More people play video games than I thought, some for a living. Some, are real champions, earning trophies and checks.And, with all the shooters, or ancient warefare games out there, you can see that some of the equipment used in games today, is similar to modern tanks, swords, assualt weapons and so forth! Some are exotict and futuristic. And, I never really thought of all the smiliarities that some of these future or exotic weapons and vehicles share with actual war waging machines and weapons...
(please, try to keep fantasy and magic out of it, it might confuse the topic)
