Difference from Realism and Standard?

[wazups2x]

Can someone explain to me the exact differences from the modes? I've joined both types of servers but I'm not spotting the differences.

I swear the server browser is messed up or something. Because when I filter for relaxed and join a relaxed server there's no killcam or anything different (that I notice) from the realism servers.

One last try.

There's got to be someone out there that knows.

Riflemen have no pistols in realism.

Squad Leaders don't have smoke, which is odd. It also seems like there's a bit more recoil.

Also friendly nametags take a bit longer to appear (at least from what i saw, its prolly possible to disable it completely)

Hmm... that means there's definitely something wrong with the server browser then. Because the so called "relaxed" server I joined, riflemen didn't have pistols.

I even filtered the servers for relaxed only and made sure the server I joined was the star symbol, aka relaxed.

This is something that needs to be fixed. It's impossible find the servers I want.

I joined a realism server which had pistols for riflemen (to my dismay...)

I must be unlucky, or too excited and I clicked on the wrong server prior to joining

EDIT:
Or was I dreaming? Maybe I never even played the beta... (It wouldn't be the first time this happens)

I read the realism mode is not even enabled in beta. I have filtered only realism servers and everyone has names over heads and all that crap.

No, I think it's just that the server browser is glitched and labels the servers wrong. It's very annoying.

I thought realism was the standard not this relaxed stuff

While you can select realism and relaxed for servers, they aren't completely hooked up yet.

So at the moment relaxed or realistic have no real meaning.

Not according to Ramm-Jaeger.

4) How in depth will the Custom mode filter be? Can we select our filter to only show Custom mode servers, and then further specify the filter to show Custom mode servers with no unlocks?
You can filter by "Standard", "Realistic", and "Custom". We may look at adding some additional filtering features should they be needed post release.

Oh, thanks. That's good to know. It was really bugging me.

A lot of servers don't seem to be even set right compared to the official servers. One annoying thing is how the spec cam doesn't work on certain servers on countdown.

Yeah, that's annoying. A lot of the time it just goes to a black screen.
