If you haven't given the new Classic Mode a try yet, I highly recommend taking a look. The changes to movement speed and weapon handling have made the mode overall far smoother and less clunky, while simultaneously making weapons feel even more real.
My favorite thing about the new update is the modification to weapon sway--the added sway when raising your weapon for the first time actually really makes the firearm have a physical weight to it. You can feel the heft of that BAR, Garand, or SVT-40 as you sight in on the enemy. It's made a huge difference--successful shots feel immensely satisfying, firefights are more immersive.
Now that the movement speed has been raised and the sprint-to-iron-sights transition reworked, Classic finally feels polished. Between that, the new handling mechanics, the existing (more) authentic weapon loadouts, the lack of Lockdown, increased wound damage, and the reduced number of automatic weapons, I'd highly recommend giving it a try if you're in search of that added bit of immersion.
I know I might be preaching to the choir, as the forum crowd generally leans towards Classic to a greater degree than the player population at large already, but hey, just don't want anyone to miss out!
