Agreed, but a lot of it seems like common sense to me.

I would happily just settle for a game with hit detection and weapon effects that didn't insult my intelligence. Picture this hypothetical scene taking place in a car park in Sweden. I am standing 5 metres away from a DICE coder. We both have AK-47's. I aim at his chest and fire a burst.

Does he:

A. Die rapidly with his chest resembling a piece of swiss cheese?

or

B. React, shrug off the rounds, go prone and kill me with his first shot whilst still in mid air?

The fact that B seems to happen quite a lot, along with many other facets of gameplay that just seem wrong, even after several patches has left me with little more than contempt for the DICE coders. If they can't get basic stuff like this right, then what hope for anything more complex?

Please just don't stuff the game up any more with another 1.3, that is all I ask.
