well ive been playing this game for a year now and i think its pretty good, but i couldnt help but notice that the gun you're using (whatever it is) takes a huge space of the screen.. (its too big)
i really dont want Battlefield 3 to have the same graphics as BC2 because A) the Bad Company games are pretty cool, but they look all console-y  and B) this gun issue..  
 
This isnt a resolution thing because these are taken from a PC max settings youtube video.

 

I dunno, doesn't look that bad to me. 

That's what I thought the first time I used those guns.

There's a mod out for PC that changes it, it was on Reddit but I forgot the link. 
 
You can use it online too.

They fill a lot of the screen. Though the acog attachment in that first picture takes up more than it's fair share :P.

Welcome to the world of bad PC ports.

Holy shit, that is huge. 
Also, I think the texture on that first gun looks awful.

Guns are big when they're close to your face I dunno....

Looks good to me.

Wouldn't be so bad if the gun models weren't so ugly.

I've only thought this for the SPAS. 
 
Anyways, I did think this for all the guns in L4D2 and modified the "viewmodel field of view," but I doubt there's something as simple for this game. 
 
Also, how do the graphics look "console-y"?

It's just you. I've played that game online for dozens and dozens of hours and never once had that thought. Sorry : /

I see no issue here.

Agreed, guns are gigantic in that game. Could it just be the FOV?

Halo guns are bigger, although maybe it's a balancing thing.  Like the rocket launcher is really big, but it's also really powerful, so when you're holding the gigantic gun it is harder to see everything around you.

*shrugs* Yeah I suppose they look a bit big but it has never been an issue for me.

1) 
Those look faaaar from max settings.
Also youtube vid is 720p in these screenshots which is well bellow max PC settigns as well.
 
2)
I don't notice the gun sizxes at all when playing BFBC2.
Rocket launchers ARE big pieces of equipement and it's completely understandable for them to take up a lot of space.
The screecnshots with the AR are using the acog scope which sticks out on some of the gun models.

They sorta look like this. Was messing with my brother's AR-15 and this is sorta what it looks like in reality when you're not looking down the sight.
Dunno, but comparing these two to the BC2 pics looks pretty close to me.

Looks alright to me.

Never noticed it... except when using the rocket launcher. But as someone said... large rockets are large.

Ahmad_Metallic, the man who thinks BF games are realistic, has never seen a gun in real life.  Guns are big, combat rifles with scopes and rocket propelled grenade launchers are big.

Those caps are NOT max settings. I took the liberty of taking this picture with max settings (and only at 1680x1050)... it looks far nicer than those horrible little screenshots you posted.

Yes, they do. Guns in most console FPS games do that because they make the game for the lowest common denominator, and casual gamers don't care about gameplay.

I play with a modified FOV and have never noticed the guns being too big. Perhaps before changing it, but never, ever after.

What's FOV?

" @AlphaCentauri:Field of View. Essentially the angle at which you can see the world around you. "

I can't say I ever got annoyed or distracted by the size of the weapons in bc2 on the PC. 

Yeah, the guns in the Bad Company games are huge. Anyways, I wanted to ask, are you playing on the PC with low specs? Just wondering, 'cause those pictures make the game look like crap, even compared to the console versions.

Make your FOV bigger. 
 
Why are you bitching about everything BF related.
