Realism mods in FPS

lol sorry, as you can tell i've just disconnected from a realism server after getting owned
Take cod2 for example.
We have the Gewehr, a multi-shot rifle and the kar98, a bolt action rifle.
Due to the mod, the gewehr is just as powerful as the kar98 and with it being multi-shot there's simply no point in using the bolt action rifles.
That's all :\

This.
Sometimes things aren't created equally, including guns. Same as there are so many different handguns, some are more powerful / accurate than others... just how things are.
You've just backed up my point. I don't want realism when i'm on a game.

Then play on unrealistic servers! lol
You don't have much choice, not many people playing cod2 now and there are few pam/standard servers left
I haven't played COD2 but I do sympathise, sounds a bit pants. The problem I imagine in a game like COD2 is that any real world advantages can't really be realised on such a small scale. I have never really been a fan of realism mods in games with maps that can be memorised, that's why Project Reality interests me.lol sorry, as you can tell i've just disconnected from a realism server after getting owned

If you're both using the same weapon yeah. What i'm saying is, the realism mod makes certain weapons pointless, where they have their different purposes on standard servers.
I think the OP is talking about mods upsetting fundamental game mechanics where each weapon has its own use in a particular scenario. Suspense of belief is worth it to make a game "work" IMO.
Realism is for stuff like Op Flashpoint, not a quick multiplayer skirmish

Try the mod in my sig if you want unrealistic realism. The recoil and moa of the guns can be so bad the bullets leave the barrel at 45 degrees.
Hitting anywhere but the person in front, all guns are equally bad for the first second or so of aiming then eventually the sa80 beats the ak47.
The point or emphasis being to counter act prone diving arcade style lack of tactics

The popular crowd has updated to cod4 or 5 I guess.
The point that he is missing is the realistic mod is the more in depth lasting game and those people wouldnt necessarily play the plain repetitive game because it wears thin, no point cursing them for it

One shot from either rifle kills, that's how realism mods tend to work. If you'd hit him first he'd be dead
Sounds like you're trying to play the mod in an arcade style? Always tends to end in tears that!

I know that. The fact is, he can spray 10 shots of the Gewehr towards me and only 1 bullet needs to hit me. Who is going to use kar98 when the Gewehr does as much damage, and faster? No-one, the mod ruins the game.
