what? now granted, i've never fired a full auto machine gun, but the rifles are a joke. when i fire a rifle from a standing position, my gun barrel doesn't rise 6 feet in the air.

CS is unrealistic. DoD rather realistic. I've done a WW2 reenactment (private; not spectator) and they had some actual working guns. Those guns are HEAVY, and the working guns they had (M1 and MP40) have a TON of reaction force on your body. The MP40 especially. The M1 is rather accurate, but you definitely have to take some strides to bring it back down to a correct aiming position. The MP40 is just a wild, random gun and I don't see how anyone in their right mind in WW2 would have ever fired it from more than about 15 meters and actually expected to effectively wound someone.

Going to have to disagree simply because of 1 point you seemed to have missed; the random trajectory of the bullets in DoD start on the very FIRST round fired. At least in CS you can effectively single shot weapons to keep fair accuracy...in DOD I can pull out a pistol and shoot at a wall 3 feet in front of me and have the bullet be off by 2 feet itself. The only accuracy bonus you get for the weapons you mentioned, is if you crouch or prone.

You can't accurately single shot the pistol or the sub machine gun classes because their completely random to begin with. I've not the experience you have with these weapons in real life...but you can not tell me that if you fire 1 aimmed bullet with a mp40 that it will fly off in some random direction.

BTW - they call this a "feature"...I just assume their too lazy to actually figure out how many bullets it takes a average male to lose control of the weapon in each stance. If they changed this to be more CS like, even if it was only the first round fired, I would be much happier with the game.
