Realism Mods Destroyed the game for me - Page 3

Crow King · 03-03-2002, 09:16 AM

Sounds to me like someone got experience playing the game w/o realism and was pretty good at it, then joined a realism server and got their ass handed to them. Maybe the problem is that you haven't adjusted your play style. Its not that one type of game requires skill and the other does not - they each require different skills. If you want to stay alive longer on a realism server, you have to play differently.

But that is beside the point. The point of realism servers is that the game is now not ruined for folks like me. You and I both have choices now, instead of just you getting it your way and me hating the game.

I'm not going to point by point praise the realism mods and crap on the non-realism aspects of the game. My choice says everything, as does yours. The good thing is, we now both have choices. The game is not "ruined for you", there's plenty of servers out there w/o realism. The 20 lowest ping servers for me don't run realism, so I end up playing on a lot of 100+ ping servers. But to me, it's worth the price.

Best thing about realism mods is less grenades, because on normal servers its all about ghey spam with no skillz.

Some of the realism mods are not balanced well, however realism mods preferabily with some weapon balancing (ally mg vs axis mg balanced) are way better than no mod at all. If you get killed a lot on objective maps then go complain to 2015 for making horrible Axis spawn points on those maps.

Bridge is the only map a 'non-moron' made spawn spots and this the map is balanced, other obj maps have horrible axis spawn spots and this greatily unbalanced the game, and its more visible in realism mod thanks to this.

Did you not read what i posted??
im not trying to flame you BUT i said it WAS TO EASY. squeezing off 2 rounds and my opponent crumbles to the floor was no fun at all. Walking around and looking for grrrreat camping spots with a MG was no fun at all. Hands down dominating 5 people all in the same room with one clip was kinda fun but NOT REALLY. im mean i've never seen the kind of camping in anyother FSP that these realism mods promote. My brother played this game (realism moded) for the first time with a Mg in a camping spot that saw heavy traffic and won the match with only 10 deaths. Say that b/c he is the worst there EVER will be at FPS, yet he got to put an x in his win column

more and more servers are using these damn realism mods that have people running around with MGs sniping
Im not complaining b/c i got my ass whupped, i complain b/c it's to easy and it takes no skill, just an itchey trigger finger and slight aim
mostof the time when i die, i dont get a shot off and when i win its b/c i see the person i killed a split second before they see me.
to me this sucks<> no competion anymore
if you go for head shots, they're down in 2 or less shots!!!!

The only good thing about Realism Mods is that the increased power of the Mgs and SMGs have nuetralized shotguns,but at the same time if you use any other weapon you are at a serious disadvantage.
i laugh at players who love the M1 or both the sniper rifles b/c they ahve no real chance in hell of scoring a high number of frags

People need to realize that this is JUST a GAME and all these realism modes are for a game that is NOT REAL.

your comments would be appreciated

I don't know how these mods work cause I don't know if they are on or not if its not in the game title. Anyways it might explain me setting on the church window sill on the crossroad map (one with bridge) and emptying my sniper rifle long range at someone and they don't even realized it cause I didn't kill them but someone else got them. It might eplain the shorter gun fights I see now. Use to stand a decent chance up close with my pistol against a machine gun person but now they kill me in no time. What I hate is dying from 1 shot by a shotgun. I don't mind rockets but I truly have shotguns.

There wont be a realism mod

One shot in real life your down on the ground..

It also takes skill to find decent cover and not get killed.

If you ever consider giving the realism mod another try, make sure you find yourself in a server that has more skilled players. Believe me it will make all the difference.

True, there is more camping that goes on in realism servers, but think about it. If one or two shots with nearly any gun is enough to drop someone then of course people are going to be more cautious with their gameplay. This is especially true on the round-based or objective-based servers, where careless gameplay is punished by forcing you to wait until the next round to respawn if you get killed. Naturally this will slow the gameplay down almost a crawl at times, but it makes the experience more intense and challenging, and this is the reason why I choose to play on these types of servers. The DM rushers are easily weeded out because more often that not, they're the ones dying first, and they're waiting more than they are playing.

It's just slower, more deliberate gameplay, and it adds to the suspense (even more with FF turned on too). It is also where the men separate themselves from the boys.

This isn't anything against you caveman, this is just my opinion.

Thats my whole point
this IS NOT REAL life
its a game
and if people are looking for realism they're looking in the wronge place. Several things in this game have been modified to increase gameplay at the sacrifice of realism. the rocket for example, in the manual it says that it ususally took 2 people to load and fire that thing but 2015 and EA saw it fit to cut it down to one.
And another person posted earlier about how the StG44 shouldnt be allowed for use on Omaha Beach because it was not used during that time yet it is enabled. all these arguments are about a game, not real life. Everyone knows in real life if you get shot your going down so you dont have to state that, its pretty obviouse.

Realism mods don't have grenade spam.

And you can acctually kill something using either the M1 Garand or Kar98 with realism mods enabled.
