I agree with what you were saying about shotguns, but not with this particular paragraph. Obviously BF3 isn't pure realism (it's a game not a simulator), but it does strive to be realistic, and the guns are fairly realistic (except for visible damage... I can guarantee the game gets an AO rating if it realistically showed what happens to a character model with a M98B headshot). But 3 or 4 shots to take someone down is actually pretty accurate. Soldiers have body armor, heads have helmets, etc. There's a reason soldiers wear the stuff. Also, a common misconception is that bullets do way more damage than they do. In reality, bullet wounds are non-fatal about 95% of the time, even to the torso or face. Unless we're talking high caliber, then yes, 1 or 2 ought to do it. But BF3 is definitely one of the more realistic shooters out there, and I think the way they've modelled it does a good job keeping the game both realistic and fun simultaneously, so DICE should at least get some credit for that.

What would be awesome to see though, is character damage reflected in game through injury. Wounded players ought to move slower, or with a limp or something. Or they can't throw grenades as far as normal with an arm/hand injury. Or if they get hit in the head, maybe their vision is all wonky until a medic gets to them or something. That'd be cool.

I probably don't know shit but what they taught me during the time I spent playing in our budget army was that our body armor/helmets aren't going to stop rifle bullets, their purpose is to protect you from fragmentation etc.

Of course USA troops have more advanced/expensive gear with energy shielding etc.

I agree with Divine-Sneaker that the added bullet spread when supressed is not how the supression effect works in RL but atleast it shares one quality with a RL war szenario: Its not fun.

I wonder what they are going to say? I mean EA is going to spout a load of bullshit, but I am interested in DICE.

The thing me and my buds have been discussing is that buying it makes you look like a faggot. Hands down.
All the random bullshit with "carbonfiber" and stupid underlinings and icons saying "premium player" are just so amazingly sad. If they'd simply release a DLC mappack that'd be my choice. Not going to play any of the CQ maps either, at all due to obvious reasons but I'd like the weapons in case they're overpowered, which some seem like they could be.
