I just can't understand why "realism"guys want to force their way of playing on the entire community?
What's wrong with having both avalible?
Because they think that having no lives and being hardcore nerds gives them a greater say then anyone else.
I happen to agree with Corn8. If you try to please two different types of gamers (one of them being "nerds" as someone so condescendingly said, the other being action gamers), you're probably not really going to totally please either of them.
The game is either realistic or it isn't, and tweaking settings most likely won't make it one or the other. I worry that this will end up being sort of a hybrid game but maybe it will be a breakthrough. I'm totally turned off by CoD and any arcade style shenanigans, the kind of players it brings in, etc.. that's why I'm worried about some- not all, but some - of the new features and "feel" of the game.
Sure, you can relegate the realism crowd to their own servers, but that doesn't really encourage other players who aren't sure what they like to really dig in and try to play within some realistically, and differently-challenging parameters. I really had a hard time with RO1 at first, and if there had been some "arcade style" option instead, I probably would have just played that,. until I got bored with it or the next action- based shooter came along. Instead, I stuck it out, got really into the game and now I love it, and I especially love it for having a bit of a learning curve that made the investment of time and patience worthwhile.
But that's just me. The game still looks awesome, and it might actually achieve the best of both worlds, both realism and action. We shall see.

I understand your point, and I do agree the name calling is low.
But on my side I enjoy the FF, and relaxed realism because it gives me something to fall back on when I am getting frustrated or bored. Especially with the potential of taking orders from someone who may claim in truth or not to be better than me.
Believe me I understand your fears, Bad Company was a wrong direction for a beloved franchise of mine. And now were getting back on track with BF3. But this time their will be more players, more options, more servers. Will their be modes I won't play, of course. But the more people who play the game, the more their is opportunity for originality in the constraints and precepts of the artificial world brought to life by the code of the game.
We all have to take things in stride, for some the sight of a relaxed realism server is sacrilegious. For others its a reminder of where they can go when they need a break from the realism and harsh realities of the hardcore servers (I imagine).
I understand your perspective, Lost Cipher. Thanks for the thoughtful reply.
One thing I will say: if casting a larger net means more active servers, day and night, that's a good thing. Will also mean more mod developing and more fun. We are only in day one if beta so I look forward to playing some more.
