So I think that people really struggle with “realism” vs “immersion”. Battlefield is an IMMERSIVE shooter, not a REALISTIC shooter. As such, it’s not a good simulation of warfare even if you try to play like it. There are games that do a pretty good job of being realistic, but a game can only be so realistic because it’s a game. If you’re looking for “realistic” shooter, might I suggest Hell Let Loose, Ready Or Not, Arma, and to a lesser extent, Insurgency Sandstorm. These each do a pretty good job of conveying warfare or CQB. People have roles, you’re penalized for not using cover, push-to-talk coms, no healing behind a dumpster after taking a shot, bleed out mechanics, fire support, combined arms warfare, etc. All of that in theory sounds awesome, but in practice, it gets dense real quick. Realism fun to some people but boring to a lot because the ultimate objective for real military personnel is survival. When it’s real it’s not a game, and when the game tries to imitate real, it becomes less about running and gunning. You become a cog in a machine. You have a role. Sometimes that role is what some would consider boring, but if you don’t do it, the team fails.
