Clearly, you are missing the point about "realism" mods. Some people may play them because they find it easier to bring someone down. But that's not why many people do. The realism mod is there to change the gameplay. Most people who like the CPR mod like it because it makes the game more realistic. Should the M1 be more powerful? Certainly, if your looking for a more accurate representation of the capabilities of the gun. Is it easier to die? Of course, because in real life, hence the name realism mod, a single shot from an M1 could bring you down. Just as a single shot from .45 could kill you. So, as Siggi put it, it goes both ways. Easier to die, easier to kill. But, that has nothing to do with player skill. Good players are good players no matter what they play: DM, TP, OB, CPR mod. When playing with people that understand what the mod has changed, tactics and strategy come into play in a much greater way. I am only referring to Object based gameplay. The mod changes the way the game is played, not the skill level of the player. I have no problem with not using the mod. I have played both ways. I have found enjoyment with both. I find it interesting that I don't see posts flaming people that don't use the mod. If you don't like, don't use it. I see no problem with not liking it, and voicing that very opinion. But to say it's for newbies and skilless players is ridiculous. Maybe you bitch because you can't be competitive on a server that uses the CPR mod. And maybe your only "good" because the people you play against suck.
