Realism vs. Balance

[Stryker]

As we all know people want realism, but the problem with that is balance. You see if everything was realistic all the maps would be like Desert Storm, something along the line of Pure ownage by the USMC, especially by Air. So please vote which to you prefer, Balance, or Realism. Also post why if you want, but please try not to go into patch 1.2 too much.

Re: Realism vs. Balance

I think if you go by realism there it only then take you one shot to pretty much die. Also you wouldn't be able to respawn cause you can't in real life . I would like some realism for example like the way they move and how planes and stuff act and the way weapons shoot.

Re: Realism vs. Balance

I choose balance. I want realism as far as look and feel but it is a game after all. In real life taking a bullet in the chest will stop you cold but I don't necessary think that is the best course of action for a game. It needs to be enjoyable and sometimes that means taking away from the realism.

Battlefield 2 != Realism

And not meant to be.

Re: Realism vs. Balance

theres in no comparison between the two seeing as in a realistic game everyone has the same level of realism.

Americas Army proves that.

FUN = Balance

Re: Realism vs. Balance

I'm all for strict realism. Let "Weapon Selection" be the balance. Not weapon function.

...no game seems to have gotten this right yet. Which is sad, there is truely a large market for a strictly realistic title; that doesn't cost $150 bucks (Virtual Battlespace).

Re: Realism vs. Balance

I dont know, I feel that you either aim for realism, or aim for arcade. You cant sit in the middle, that is when it is unbalanced.

Riiiiggghhhtttt

So when there is 1 realistic weapon that is even slightly better than the rest, everyone will use that weapon or play that class.
Booooorrrriiiinnnggg.

Re: Realism vs. Balance

For me its about Balance for the most part. If THIS team can do THIS, then THAT team can do THAT. I mean you kinda deveate from that when you have 1 team who has visualy guided AT missles and one team who has, Aim and hope you get a good lead on a target missles.

Re: Realism vs. Balance

i could give a rats ass about realism, i realise that lots of people are on its nuts like a squirrel right b4 winter

much rather have crazy sniper battles with jetpacks boucing off buildings throwing nukes at eachother as long as it was fun and balanced......

Re: Realism vs. Balance

who cares if the sniper rilfe is 1 click 1 kill.

Re: Realism vs. Balance

I like how battlefield is balanced right now. I was just playing Nations at War mod which in my mind is pretty realistic. The thing is attack helicopters have lock on missles which ruins the game. BlackHawks have 28 rockets and a high powered gun.

I think the only thing that should lack realism is air. Otherwize its pure ownage.

Re: Realism vs. Balance

Battlefield series are known for their arcade style of gameplay, making it more "realistic" would change battlefield making it another game.
