@yuastnav:
There is no contradiction in the first part of my post, read it more carefully.
My distaste for "crappy forgettable multiplayer that's put in just about everything for no reason" has nothing to do with my aim. It has to do with crappy quality multiplayer they put into everything for no reason.
Finally, to me, games like BF and MW are far more realistic than UT, Q3, Tribes and even Quake Wars. It's about the sum of all parts, including the audiovisual presentation. If you focus on just the damage model, then sure, there are NO realistic multiplayer games on the market. Big whooptee doo discovery there.
But I'd much rather have some distance drawn between the gameworld and the real world. It's a matter of preference, which is why I said "if you're into..." that certain kind of games... which I'm not.
