That's really not a realistic amount of recoil for an automatic rifle, unless of course you're ridiculously proficient with that particular weapon.

Giving the weapons their real recoil levels would make it much less fun.

Well you'd hope that a US marine was proficient with his weapon :)

This is single player footage, single player will be dumbed down compared to multi as to go easy on the casual players and make it as accessible as possible, multi will be a different beast.

Note my wording - "ridiculously proficient". The recoil is unrealistic, anyone who's fired a rifle on automatic know that!

Also, I'm not so sure it'll be that different in the multiplayer. As I recall the recoil was similar in BF2?
 
One team dedicated to single player another to multi, remember the game has to appeal to the console crowd so they don't want to be putting things like deviation and accurate recoil in the single player. As said single player mechanics will have little to do with multi, take the drag your mates to safety feature, that's single player only.

The recoil in BF2 was fairly accurate, on full auto you couldn't hit the back end of a bus.

Thats a bit of a blanket statement to say the least, recoil varies from weapon to weapon, some are very controllable on full auto depending on calibre of the round its firing.

No but why can't we play as UK, Canada, Germany or any other NATO force? How about KFOR/IFOR I'm not aware of a Balkan based shooter.

I'll tell you why not. Its because those isolationist Americans have probably never heard of Bosnia or anything other than WWII, Vietnam, Cold war, Iraq, Afghanistan and probably wouldn't buy a shooter where you didn't play some awful oohrah yankee retard.

Or because the Americans have the AH-64 Apache and M1 Abrams? The German and UK equivelants are crap.

How dare you call the Challenger 2 crap, it's one of the very best MBTs in the world.

The Army Air Corps use the WAH-64D (AH1) btw, which is actually better than the US one, plus our pilots have gone to train the Americans because they're rated better.

The quality is awful but for some reason it just looks amazing, the scale, realism and the ****ing jets!
