[Video Games] I'm a professional hardened tough as nails soldier that's been through more battles than you can imagine...yet I can't shoot very straight because I'm only at level 1. How did I survive before hand?

So all these action video games have you playing these characters that are supposed to be super soldiers that are the best of what they do yet they can't survive a small drop because their fall damage hasn't been upgraded. They can't shoot straight and their weapons are extremely weak because they haven't had enough points added to their Heavy Weapons perk.

How are all these incredibly powerful people so incredibly weak?

Previous assignments were against terrorists, rebels, or criminals. Dangerous, yet mundane threats they trained for months, maybe years, to counter. Fighting those guys gave no benefits nor taught any new skills. 

Then came the aliens, or the supersoldiers, or the mutants, whatever. Things never encountered, and it becomes a situation of adapt or die. Some of the old training will help, but it's going to take a lot of on-the-fly decisions and new ways of thinking to survive.
