Battlefield 3 [a game I'm looking forward to, may be venturing into a territory of uncomfortable realism, which may be what gaming needs"
Whether it comes through remakes or a new game with a similar style, DICE should aim to revive the glory days of Battlefield 3 and Bad Company 2.
hmmm I think there will be no old BF glory days for EA since they are loyal to their greediness and laziness :D
You're asking for a miracle with EA that will never happen unless they can exploit the money making schemes behind it.

Battlefield 3 Reality Mod release is now set for July 17, and we get a brand new release date trailer that brings the action and grounded gunfights.
I've got no issue with seeing someone get blown to pieces in a game but if it was real life I'd be sickened. No matter how realistic games get the aren't real life, people realise that. I agree that realism is more vital in gaming as it just makes games better.
I like realism in certain types of games.
Uncomfortable Realism (see video)
I like realism to a certain degree but BF3 is not one of those games that i should take seriously by any means.
I remember back in the day ( 1990´s ) not liking to shoot bad guys in the head because it felt to brutal and unnecessary but since that become such a normal thing in the shooter genre i got used to it like everyone else.
Battlefield isn't realistic COD isn't realistic none of the games out are. (Maybe Arma or whatever its called)
Reason being because then it wouldn't be fun.
You think if a car blew up 10 feet from you from an RPG you'd have all limbs in tact. Or that you could chuck a grenade with ease? Or even survive a grenade in close proximity? When you get shot in a game you are crippled then have to work in an office for the rest of your life because you are not fit for duty lol.
Games could have realistic elements to them to make them unique, but no, no game can be completely realistic.
Games should be real and should be violent when its the point of the game, people who are effected by violence in video games, should not be playing video games
