I think this game would benefit greatly by having a realistic game mode, like hardcore, but restricting weapons to represent real life. This would entail of bolt actions without scopes as a majority, automatic weapons being a few per team or a map pick up and lower health for players.
I believe a game mode such as this would appeal to the more hardcore community and would draw in a lot more players and communities.
Thoughts?
Just hardcore is fine.
Attachment is part of the gameplay.
99.99999999% would not like this mode. It’s actually hitscan and best done by UT/Quake. We call it instagib.
realism also inlucdes no-respawn , longer reloads , pilots passing out during infinite rolls , becoming a splat after jumping outta airplane 50 meters high , any given anti tank rifles would one shot or disable (i mean for good ) any given armor , any weapon becomes a one shot kill or would disable the soldier severly …
personally i think very few people would be interested with it ..
That’s actually called “Last Man Standing” it’s an old school game mode that got exploited by player hiding from game play until it was literally a 1v1 match… Wooooooooooooo gooooood times.
Can you hear the sarcasm?
I wish to see something not arcade, REALISM my friend Im talking about realism, at least something like it is in Red Orchestra, unbalanced realism, where maxim machine gun can pin down and annihilate entire squad, where one bullet to chest or head kill, where you can bleed to death, where 80% of players should have bolt action rifles, vehicles should have original speed but it would be compensated by firepower (as i said before one bullet kills, etc.) where there is realistic aiming not this arcade s any more please (its almost impossible to shoot somebody standing or kneeing from 100m, especially if we talking about weapons from I and II WW) Trust me people would love it if they would give it a try.
Realism mode would be complete garbage and it is not worth to put effort into making it.
Not the first or the last time I’ll be saying that.
It would be great if rented servers had options enough to create a realistic mode for themselves if they so desired. It would not have to be shoved down people throats. A bit like the Pistols only server. Not for every taste, but available.
Ameeba37 you dont know what you talking about, im a fan of BF but ones you play harder and immerse games like red orchestra you dont want to go back to arcade quake like games for kids, trust me play red orchestra 2 for few hours (at first you gonna be pisseddd off because you will not do well but after time you will want RO/BF gameplay on frostbite engine) 
Nice idea, but it would not appeal to many, however much some (me included) love the idea.
there are games that go for simulation out there.
try those.
Then go play Red Orchestra, stop trying to make Battlefield something it is not.
I highly doubt they will make a realstic mode but I’m pretty sire Hardcore would be more up your playstyle.
Exactly what I would have said
HighbornDeathMan we need to support ‘‘think before you shoot’’ gaming/shooter culture instead of ‘‘shoot faster than you think’’, games where you have to think and cooperate tactically are much more immerse, they dont get bore as fast or never.
Once again GO PLAY THOSE TYPE OF GAMES.
There’s a reason why games that are tactical based are less popular then fast paced shooters.
“They don’t get bore as fast or never” and it hasn’t for battlefield 4, 3, or Hardline players who have thousand and sometimes more hours in the game.
But i want THESE tactical games on frostbite engine, JESUS is it so hard to understand?, and im not denying your wish to play fast paced BF and other shooters, i just want realism mode for players like me, i still like to play BF for 1-3 h of brainless shooting but i want tactical mode as well which i love the most, they shouldnt ignore that part of community as it would be very easy for this studio to make that kind of realism mode
You are free to pay DICE to make a game just for you.
UT 2004 had a good solution for that…
