It's more strategic, makes it more laid back and passive.
You can kill asshats, that's why.
The reason friendly fire exists in realistic is because friendly fire is realistic..If you shoot someone in real life they will take damage.

No trained soldier's arms would shoot up after firing a pistol or rifle. The mode is a misnomer in a number of ways.

I gotta confess, I sometime shoot the ffc when he's coming towards me at great speed. It's just per reflex, and if I have ruger or something, I sometimes kill him accidently.. Not everyone TK on purpose, and usually when someone does, all of his team will eventually turn on him and he'll leave.I think TK is less of a problem these days than it used to be.

Most people on realistic move the mouse downward while firing, depending on the weapon, to counter recoil. Hence, being "trained".

Hence, being "trained".It's bad game design when poor control is considered part of the gameplay. It's as stupid as, say, having to enter in some obtuse button combination would be to make Sonic jump. A player should not have to "train" himself to overcome shoddy needlessly complex control. Granted, it does weed out a lot of "noobs" who don't take the time to adjust, and I suppose that's the real appeal of it, but it still remains a horrible design choice. Thankfully it's just an option and not the setup for the main game.
Well, that's your opinion. It's nowhere near needlessly complex; all you are really doing is getting used to it. Sure, it may take time, but it's still Soldat. Don't hate another mode just because you don't prefer it :p I still love Normal mode.
I love playing realistic, its fun and all that, but i have a hard time understanding why people play with friendly fire.Friendly fire is a nuisance to me, the only reason anyone would ever get a teamkill is one of the following:1. the tker has no idea what the **** hes doing2. some lamer gets in the way too much3. some internet fight that ends in teamkilling each other and a kick from the server4. random spray5. to be an asshole and tk for the flag6. a total accidentIt doesn't make much sense to have on at all, I mean I would rather go all by myself than have to worry about where i am and where some other idiot is so I don't get us all killed.Friendly fire just makes a team less effective, i find myself screened by six or so guys who got pwned and run in front of me directly at the enemy. It is so much to worry about.So my question is; why do so many people like it, and why do so many servers have it?
Jeez I already made a topic of this sort. Sometimes people shoot teammatres to piss them off(sometimes response can be really funny!). And sometimes they don't get kicked because the enemy team votes no so that the tker helps kill their enemy. It's a game and I don't understand why people get so pissed off about it. Unless it's your whole life and then it's sad.
