Realistic

The speed is nice, and I like the added touch of the line-of-sight, so you can assasinate people without them knowing until the last minute


EDIT: Rhombous: Not what the last minute bit was related to, that was related to the assasination, when they don't know if you are behind them.

Realistic, it's the only mode where weapons are really blanced. Realistic survival is even better.

REALISTIC


Waaayyyy much more tactical, fun and balanced.

Realistic is by far more rewarding.

Too many of today's 'experienced' players just can't hack the slower more intelligent pace of combat required. Those that do however, get to play a game that rewards those posessing alert senses, reflexes, and tactical awareness.

In other words, normal mode is for noobs!

Realistic! It really brings out each weapon's strengths and weaknesses. Of course, I play normal most of the time, simply because there are almost never any realistic servers up.

I like to mix it up, normal one day, realistic the other. It really doesn't matter to me. But if im looking to have a really good time on a server, I go to one which has realistic and survival mode. I find it can get retty good in user created maps and so forth, especially ones with a lot of cover, really makes it tactical.

Obviously Realistic Kicks the hell out of normal mode.. Then again, i think more people play normal in general.. perhaps that would change if real-mode was default instead of normal..
I think it should be changed..

Realistic Mode + Survival Mode + 1 nade + FF =

Well, I mean for a game anyway.

Realistic, realistic, realistic. Line-of-sight is so gorgeous it's not funny. There's nothing quite like sneaking up on a camper's hideout, and then popping up right in front of them and unloading a full SPAS in their face, insta-killing them. Freaks them the heck out.

And the weapons are balanced. It's just MUCH more obvious what the differences are. Sure, the SPAS can insta-kill. But if you miss the first shot, an MP5 player can kill you before the second shot can be fired. Ruger's the same way; it's only good if they have great aim and you're not dodging.

In short; the weapons are only unbalanced if you don't adjust your play style to realistic.

Hey its karmazon, donk'd anyone lately?
On the subject matter, I prefer realistic when survival is incorporated.
Realistic, survival infiltration is mighty fun and makes for good teamwork.
Other than that, normal will suit me fine when I want to play.

One hit, if it's a headshot. But actually, I use autos much more in realistic mode than I do in normal. The MP5 is insanely lethal at close range in RM, and the AK-74 and AUG pack quite a punch as well, though the Minimi has too much recoil for my taste.

Realistic is better, becouse it has some stealth elements and you must think before you fall, but it has some minuses, for example, the sniper isn't really useful becouse Ruger is almost one shot = one kill and it can reload pretty fast, so...but I think realistic is really more hardcore.

realistic, because fall damage, recoiling weapons, and more weapon damage are the best, one time I ran a server and this guy was getting pissed when I kept one-hit killing him and we changed to normal and that was stupid.

I like normal because it offers a challenge. I'm definitely a Ruger guy, and on normal mode there's a sort of satisfaction I get when killing Barret users. On realistic it's pretty much one shot kills which is exactly why I hate the Barret.
