Lets be realistic here....
Is it just me, or have games just become TOO realistic?This is the feeling I get when I play the BF:BC Beta. The game feels so realistic that it's just not....fun.
EA/Dice have come up with the concept of "Momentum" when it comes to your character. Your body weight acts against you when your trying to turn quickly to save your own ass. Plus they have done away with the Parachutes, which was fairly arcadish but none the less fun and USEFUL! God forbid your in a chopper doomed to go down in a ball of fire, now instead of bailing out your only option is to go down with the bird. Is this really what gamers want in Video Games? If that's the case may I sudgest a new series of games, how about, Adult Hood. Stick your character in a dead end job, support a few kids, deal with a nagging wife. About as realistic as it gets, hours apon hours of gameplay, but in all honesty, would you play it? Maybe this is why the Halo series and COD's of the world have done so well. We all enjoy realism here and there when it comes to our games, but when does it become to much?

a little realism in some cases can make things more interesting/intense and therefore fun.
but when you get to the point where its so real it only takes 1 bullet to die, you can trip on a rock and twist your ankle, making it harder for you to manuever....thats where the line gets crossed.
I can see some people maybe enjoying the uber realistic....but games are supposed to remove you from reality and entertain you.

so wouldn't you know it i was playing bog the other day hit my head on the war pig twisted my ankle and caught small pox. don't i loose some unknown amount of meat or some thing like that. I agree with ya jay i cant stand it when developers over complicate game play. keep it simple and let me play. they can get all complicated with other things like sound, online stats, lobby development, host control and map varients. but thats just my utterly worthless opinion.
