[QUOTE="schnee, post: 7162998, member: 16728"] Perception is mostly trained. Soldiers don't have amazing ability to see movement in tough situations based solely on what they're born with. It's something that is a skill, obtained over time, through practice. It's influenced by your natural acuity, that's why - for example - some people make great snipers and some don't. Being able to acquire the target and know when the right time to take the shot is very very hard, and you need BOTH the training and the natural talent to be the best. People who don't excel at both fail out. So, IMO it's modeled accurately enough the way it is. It's just a new mechanic, and like all new mechanics, everyone loves to argue and second-guess and gripe. [/QUOTE]
