Abstract
Combat prototypes test whether fighting another player or non-player character feels fair and realistic for that particular game setting. In a realistic military simulation, weapons would need to look and act like their real world counterparts. However, in a fantasy or science fiction setting, weapons would need to look and act like what most people believe about those game settings.
