Actually, that's where you're wrong.
The US Military is CURRENTLY examining how to design, create, field, and use soldier-operated exosuits. That would be at the very least, a frame that a soldier puts on, somewhat like in Aliens where Ripley fought that beast in her yellow construction robo-frame.
Add to that the immense boost to a soldier's strength and endurance, the possibility of being able to run at average speeds of 30mph (not kph like in-game), the ability to strap on and functionally use heavy weapons such as fifty caliber machine guns one on each arm, and the ability to run and jump large distances or jump from a certain height (like 30 feet) without becoming a splatter...
Then factor in protection methods such as putting a soldier in a cockpit rather than wearing a suit of partial-plate armor...
... And add 3k years.
