I personally play a lot of Realism Mods and perfer them over any other game simply because of what it says, Realism. However I have noticed people comming into Realism Mods saying how much they hate them and that they are for newbies.. I just thought I would see what the general opinions are..

PS - Please refrain from flaming.. just looking for opnions.

Don't believe it.

"...realism mods are for newbies."

That's about the funniest thing I've heard in awhile. Realism mods make it so if you get shot in the chest then you die, which is....realistic. If there is less room for you to make mistakes when moving, then how could you conclude it takes less skill to play with this kind of mod? I don't see the logic.

My feeling is that these people who claim these mods are for "newbies" are themselves the ones with less skill, because they would rather rush people like a bunch of headless chickens with shotguns and SMG's with no regard to whether they get hit or not. It's the Quake crowd, and for some reason many of these people think every FPS should play like it. EA tried to get the best of both worlds, and realism mods allow people looking for a little more in the way of realism to enjoy the game as much as the "headless chickens".

More power to you if that's how you want to play, but realism mods for "newbies"....that's laughable.

i only play on realism servers. less newbies there.

Realism mods own.
Less grenades=less spam
It doesn't take a full clip to kill someone.
And rifles are acctually usefull. http://www.alliedassault.com/ubb/wink.gif

yeah i love using garand. can actually kill up close and pop a sniper or two.

haven't played a realism mod yet, how do i find a server?

Most popular is CPR look for any host with "CPR" in name.

& yes realism mods "make this game"

I play servers with the CKR only.The CPR mod is ok but CKR is much better to me and also it will get even better.

Maybe if the headless foul learn to retreat instead of headlong jigs into the jaws of death,they'll live longer and not have to wait on the sidelines for the game to end.

The name of the game for the most part is defense for the axis,do you ever see any?

I feel the same way.. If its easier to die, then it takes more skill to live. Thats how I look at it and thats why I love the Realism servers.. Also the point about less grenades.. AMEN to that.. nothing worse than someone relaying on thier 6 frags to get kills.

Yea - me and my bro were JUST talking about this. We prefer to play with each other, but when our folks are home we hop on the realism mods instead of each other.

One shot one kill. I love it!!!!

Realism mods Rock! Especially CKR. Thats all we play at my house, we get like 2 hours of it in every night. B4 we had the mod it seemed the only way to survive FFA Maps like Destroyed village was to be a sniper, but now everyone uses either the M1 or Mauser, MG's are a fav too. I have just waited for years for a game that I could blast people with the M1 Garand, so when MOHAA came out I was overjoyed to see it in tha game. But I was dissapointed in its performance in MP untill we got CKR. Now It is my weapon of choice, well that and tha mauser.

Im goin sniper huntin 2day............where is my KAR98K,

Last time i played on the axis side, myself and all but two of our side stayed back to defend, and we got bitched at because the other two said they were doing all the work.
so when we did all run about advancing, the allies obviously got past us and to the objectives.
oh, and then we got bitched at for not defending properly and being crap at the game. no happy medium with some morons is there? http://www.alliedassault.com/ubb/smile.gif
ohh, and to keep this post on topic, i havnt played a realism mod yet because ive never found a server with one. but now i know which ones are which. ill be sticking to them http://www.alliedassault.com/ubb/smile.gif.
