[QUOTE="mitu123"] There is a hardcore mode.millerlight89

Was never a fan of hardcore mode, simply because it was a sniper campfest. In BF3 I could definitely see hardcore working very well though.

I found a server that limited the recon on a team, so that made it much better.

Same here. 90% of the servers on my favorites list are there because they limit recons on each team (generally 3 per team, but some change based on map.

That's nice, glad they are still putting bullet drop and more reasons why this game will be awesome:

"One very interesting, and potentially controversial statement that Kertz made was, "there are no 1 hit body kills with sniper rifles. Pull your side arm or use a semi auto for fast follow up hits." Do you Battlefield fans agree with this? Is it unrealistic, or does it better serve the gamepley?"

I don't like that no.
Unless the side arms are pretty inaccurate.

What you saw in BF2 was exactly this. You body shot one time, then pull out pistol and shoot again very fast. The pistol had 100% accuracy so it was a pretty fast and easy kill. A bit too fast and too easy for me. The pistol became effectively a second hand sniper without scope.
If they make pistols behave remotely realistically then it's ok... (In the real world it's tough hitting something at 20 feet, but let them make it tough to hit something at 40 feet it would already be a nice improvement.) Besides there aren't any other solutions I can think of.

Don't forget guys they already made you regen health with a delay and make you get killed easier. They also improved hit detection across the network (no more killing an enemy at same time that he kills you). So having 1 hit kill bodyshots from snipers on top of that would turn it into a very frustrating game.

I'm more worried about accidently flying a jet into it.

They are nerfing the sniper out of relevance. One-hit-kills with body shots should be in.

Boo with the lack of AK-47. IndianaPwns39
Why boo? The AK74 is the same gun made with newer materials. The 47 is from the 1950's... the Russians have moved on since then. Which makes me wonder why the AK101 isn't in it instead of the 74.

The AK-74 is not the same as AK-47. They are the same platform but are different rifles. One fires a 7.62x39mm and the other fires a 5.56x39mm. Besides the AK-47 is outdated. The current 7.62mm platform for the AK would be the AKM, which is sadly not in this game.

You would find way more AKMs in the middle east than any other AK platform. The Russians, however, wouldnt use the AKM in mass anymore. THey are on the AK-74 platform.

Oh noes. Whatever shall we do.

Oh I know, let's fight outside in the elements instead of in a climate controlled shooting range. You'll have to put up with these...

Enjoy your jams.

AK-74 has different styled components and is in an entirely different caliber than the AKM/AK-47. The AK-100 series of rifles are meant entirely for export, so Russia using one is incredibly unlikely. And if they did, they'd use the 5.45mm AK-105 rather than the AK-101, the latter being chambered in 5.56mm, an incredibly non-native round. Since the main "bad guys" in the game are Russian, and their main service rifle is still essentially the AK-74, it would be completely inappropriate to put the AK-101 in the game, considering the route DICE is taking with the whole plasuible weaponry thing.

Pretty good news though I'm sure the sniper rifle is still a one hit kill weapon when in close range.

I am really happy that they are evening out things more. Especially with rifles. Some guys have very quick reflexes and at mid range with the M95 it didn't matter where they hit you still went down.

The AK-74 wasn't in Blops, but there was an "AK-47" that looked suspiciously like one...

This glint BS would ruin sniping.

No, it would just promote what snipers actually do, which is to shoot and relocate.
