like realism (all types) is yes let us know your favs.

I like stock.

Why?

Realism:

- Lots of STG/BAR newbies who think they are REALLY good at the game, in Crossroads and Destroyed Village a lot of them switch to sniper -> Snipe-O-Rama; the rest is rushing with the SMG. Most people who always use shotgun in stock, use MG in realism.

- You can snipe with the STG/BAR. The range, lethalness and accuracy...damn.

- Rifling is not fun. Against an MG? Not a chance if the opponent is an average or above player.

When I wind up in some realism server, coincidentally, I sometimes pick up a STG/BAR (they're lying around everywhere, so why not), and it always amazes me how easy it is to score kills with it. It is like you're carrying a boosted, fully automatic sniper rifle with 30/20 bullets, only lacking the scope.

Only good thing about realism (the overrated CKR): Only 3 grenades.

Realism might be more like the real world, but who cares. It's a game. Thinking it approaches reality, certainly in the case of MoHAA is naïve.

Fun server for me:

- Rockets/shotguns disabled (to prevent too many people grabbing one)
- Only 3 grenades
- FF on

I like the rifle. Just auto select team and pick rifle.

yeah, the StG44 is a one hit anywhere killing machine. You run into one of those, youre dead. They just absolutely own in Realism. If the whole team is rushing with them, i just quit. Its annoying to respawn, die, respawn, die, etc etc

lol use an smg oOo:

"Realism" blows, all its for is mg whores who can't hit shit in stock. oOo:

And i use the word "realism" reluctantly, realism my ass.

I love AANR realism and I'm far from an MG whore.

Realism is my preference. One shot one kill, and you dont need a scope to do it. Fear the rifle!!!!!

My biggest complaint about realism mods is that most hae completely gutted the shotgun, rocket and even the pistol bash. Why? The shotgun should be left the same as in stock - that would make it a short range, semi auto, one shot weapon - Still at a significant disadvangtage to the mg. And why would anyone make you have to bash someone 4 times to kill them with the pistol? Dont they understand that if it has gotten that far, they could have been killed a half dozen times already?

Realsim is ok as long as it isnt ckr

definetly realism, for all those who complain about the MG whores and how rifles are useless in realism:

how useful is a bolt action rifle that requires 2 chest hits to kill when an opponent can aim a shotgun at 45 degrees away from you and still kill???


CKR 1.1 toned down the STG a bit, so now it's more balanced.

[Zoner]

Totally agree man.

The last time I played stock, I crept up behind a sniper, but the muzzle of my M1 up to his brainstem, pulled the trigger, and the guy lived. He spun around and shot my dazed and shocked ass.

That was last summer. I haven't played stock since.

Realism definitly, for both mohaa and spearhead, despite what other people might say, it makes rifles more effective with 1 shot kills.

Not when I'm carrying an MG.

I too like to rifle, but the rifle is just to weak to keep up with the MG in realism (when I say realism, I mean CKR, because that's what almost every realism server has installed).

As far as the shotgun is concerned, yes it's too weak in realism. And too powerful in stock. I don't mind one or two. But when more than 5 people are using it, it's the same as the MG in CKR.

And as Gerard said: Realism my ass. He's right. It's a game. For fun, you don't need it to approach reality in terms of lethalness, you need balance. Rifling fun in CKR? Come on. Only when most people are equipped with (sniper) rifles and some use smg's. Because, since I have practiced so much with the rifle, an MG is a rifle. But automatic and 30 bullets per shell. Too damn easy. So I hardly ever use it. Many other above average (yes I consider myself above average, but for certain I'm not the best player out there) people do. And then? Then realism's a bitch.

I can run most ckr servers with the M1. It is the most underrated weapon in the game. Only the very best players can make me put it away, but i find it very effective, even in maps like stalingrad. With the mg, you use short controlled bursts. With the M1 you use single shots, but I can bring the second shot (if needed) on target quicker than mgs can. I can also run faster and reload much quicker and the accuracy is unmatched. In a tight "spray and pray" situations, the m1 can rip off shots very quickly with less recoil to compensate for. You have to be accurate to use it, but that first shot is deadly.

so funny to me, someone says realism has STG newbies thinking they are good.

STOCK is what sends people to the STG. Because of the unrealistic damage the Mauser is worthless, the SMGs are practically worthless. Stock makes the MGs and the scope far more common becuase that is the only choice really. Except the shotgun. Stock also makes the shotgun much mroe common, since it is the only weapon that kills with one shot.

Realism makes even pistols dangerous. People have to use cover. In stock they just jump around like Quake bunnies.

It is true realism makes the totally unrealistic super zoom scope all the more lethal, and the STG too. The STG will always give aimless ninnies a chance to kill something regardless. But at least in realism they go down with one shot to the guts or heart and, more importantly, the rifles and pistols act a little bit like the real thing.

At least what pest says, makes some sense. Not that I totally agree. What you are trying to say is just nonsense.

Ask yourself this question: If I were to play against myself, say, rifle vs MG or SMG. What would be the score if the battle stops as soon as either of the two reaches twenty. In realism, carrying a spray gun, I would win 8 encounters out of 10. In stock far less. And I am absolutely not bad at rifling.

And by the way, Kar 98 (non-sniper, stock) in the head = dead. Garand leaves 4 HP left. You saying the Mauser is worthless in stock doesn't make you more convincing. I use it a lot in stock. It is fine. I almost never top the list, but kill:death ratios of 2:1 are not uncommon.

I have used MG a lot in realism, a long time ago. I have never, ever encountered a rifler who could beat me. Yes, he killed me on occasion. But I killed him many many times. And no, I'm not talking newby servers here. People who are good at rifling have to agree with me: If you drop your rifle and pick up an MG, you're amazed how powerful it is.

But this discussion will never end I guess.
