Heck, even for EVE they explain why you can see your ship in third person, because you are actually viewing it from the perspective of a small camera drone that follows your ship. They also explain why you can hear sounds in space; it's all artificially generated to help the pilot's awareness.
CCP does a great job with making their games make sense.
I don't because you cannot write in the idea of sacrifice into a clone soldier bio nor impress the sacrifice and dedication of other clone soldiers knowing they cannot truly die, which is why I like to think our implants can sporadically give our and that death even as an supposedly immortal merc can indeed be final.

COD,BF4,All other shooters.=you die you magically get to respawn.
Long Live Dust NOt really. You represent a DIFFERENT Soldier sent to fight. There by 100 enemy count, tahts 100 soldiers, Different ones even if some have the same skills. Both make sense...
And they all look the same.... wow so many quintuplets....

If Dust, you are spawned through a small portal or at a clone reanimation unit. In other games, you just magically appear.
Squad spawns are certainly unique in Battlefield.

The way the implement works, it can transfer your conscious to another body, even at the moment of death. The key word here is "even." So if you died before you got the implant, then it is too late, you are dead. If you died with the implant, but there is no clone to transfer your conscious to, then you are dead. The term "immortal" is a misnomer in that sense. In lore, our characters can die.
Then assuming some one shot you at the right angle in the back of the head, they could destroy the implant and then kill you before it had a chance to transport the consciousness to a new clone? Or are you talking about faults in the transport itself. I mean this is a relatively new technology. How much of the consciousness if being lost ever time you die?
