Now before i even start this rant i am going to go ahead and say I KNOW IT IS A GAME.

Okay, so i am in the United States Army and i play Battlefield 4 from time to time because i thought it was closer to the realistic side. I played it for about 4 months on and off and never really cared too much but now it's just so awful. Now before people say i am a "COD Fanboy." That is a Negative. Call of Duty Ghosts is the Worst game possibly out there right now, Anyway! First off, the guns have WAY to much recoil and it takes a decent amount of rounds to kill someone which means it's stupid. For example with the FN SCAR, i will shoot at a person from maybe 60 meters away and do short bursts and the gun kicks uncontrollably. The way the recoil is in the game it's terribly unreal. Shooting an AK-47 in the game is like shooting an M82A1. The recoil is insanely dumb. The FN SCAR shoots a 7.62x69 which would put someone down in one bullet and i understand you can't do that in a game but at least make it more powerful. I shoot weapons for a living. Another thing is the vehicles are so underpowered. I will be in a M1 Abrams and shoot a round next to someones feet and they will hop and run away with like 60 health left when in reality the person would either be blown in half or have nothing but their shoes left on the ground with charred skin. Now i understand that the vehicles have to be a certain power otherwise it's no fun because you'll get killed too easily but EA tries to make the game realistic but it's more unrealistic then Call of Duty. The only real thing about the game is the bullet drops,buildings explode and the graphics. Our military uses the M4, now the round is a 5.56 but the barrel of the M4 is designed to make the round spin faster so it produces the same punch as the AK-47's 7.62. I will be using the M4 and hit someone 6 times and they hop away like it's nothing. Same goes with every weapon in the game! For another example, the Vulcan Minigun on the Helo's or Zodiacs. It takes like 10 direct hits to kill someone. Realistically one bullet and the person would be a fine red mist. I think if they want to be a realistic game they need to fix the game.

I KNOW THERE IS HARDCORE MODE, but i shouldn't have to play hardcore mode.
RANT OVER

You should have to play hardcore mode. They have it for a reason.

Understandable, but i want to be able to see the map and my ammo count.
you would be surprised, in combat you can see how many rounds you have left. Each clip holds 30 rounds and if you have 6 clips in your chest rig...well there you go! Add em' up!

There is no AK-47 in this game. It's an AK-12.

I suppose they could make it so that you can press a button to find out but there should be no HUD whatsoever.
Generally, people in comment know to count their rounds.

The game's variables (recoil, damage, etc) are there to balance the game. As you said if vehicles were over powered everyone would spend there time in them, making every other weapon in the game useless. I think it's obvious to the developers that one shot from the majority of the gun's available on Earth would kill a person, but that wouldn't make for a fun game.

Also, despite the fact you know there is a hardcore mode, you seem to hate it, seem's weird to me. You want a realistic game yet don't want to play the realistic game mode...

Like, i said! Understandable. If they add an ammo count the i would play it. In combat when you are engaging an enemy. You don't shoot until you have no ammo. You are always aware how much ammo you have due to clips in the chest rig. Once a clip has been used you put it in the leg pouch. That way you only have loaded clips in the Rig. if they added an ammo count to hardcore then i'd play it but i'm not trying to play where i am shooting at someone and then be out of ammo and commando it and be like "Oh Crap" what now. That doesn't happen.

Completely agree. I often find myself hitting infantry a good many uncountable times with the guns on the transpo but alas no kill. Yet two shots from the SW40 and they're down for the count. I do not have your experience with guns but I do own and have used a few. I see a lack of recoil in the SKS. (I own a much older wooden SKS so perhaps that makes a difference??) But the gun barely jerks, only reason I don't mind is because I am the one who uses it.

Yeah, don't get me wrong. There are some weapons in the game that have realistic recoil but also lots that don't. The FN SCAR is a beautiful weapon. Probably one of the most well made weapons out right now. The recoil on it is minimum but in the game it's terrible. I have shot it many times...

THIS IS NOT ME. I found this on Youtube. This kid is using a smaller version of the FN SCAR but with the same round which has the same recoil as the one that is in the game. The recoil is terrible in the game. This is kid no older then 13 and handles the recoil like a champ.
