Concealment Equals Cover: Difference between revisions

Line 15:

In [[Video Games]], this can be considered an [[Acceptable Break From Reality]] in games with cover systems, since it would be frustrating to get into what appeared to be cover only to find the enemy could still hit you just fine; players tend to only object when things no reasonable person would try to hide behind like ordinary glass or picket fences are still totally bulletproof. It tends to be more of a problem when ''enemies'' can take cover in places that blatantly aren't cover, such as being protected from a hand grenade by hiding behind a rack of magazines or handrail.

This is common enough that only aversions, subversions and justified cases should be listed. Contrast with [[The All Seeing AI]], where concealment most definitely does not equal cover ''or'' concealment.

Also see [[Bulletproof Human Shield]], when bodies are used for cover, and [[Bombproof Appliance]] or [[Improbable Cover]], for when tissue-paper stops explosion.
