Do not mix reality with FPS war games. They have nothing to do with real wars and probably never will. FPS are fantasy products.


What?  FPS is an genre which ain't tied down exclusively to fantasy.

FPS is just the view.

as third person is an view.

Basically it's just the physical setting of the game, wether the story is fantasy or not, got nothing to do with first person view or third person view.

A game can be designed around reality just as much as fantasy as much as it want, despite what view mode it is.

and yes, a WW1 game can be a fictional story created on historical events while maintaining the historical settings and background. if that was what you referred to.  but still. FPS isn't exclusively forced to be all fantasy, since it's just the view mode.
