As we all know in COD4 you are able to shoot people through barriers such as walls, barrells, etc., as in the battlefield series you had to hit there body. What do you guys prefer more, the ability to shoot through walls or the battlefield way?

Personally i prefer the battlefield way where you had to hit there body because in COD4 it seems whenever i use something as a barrier people seem to shoot right through it and kill me. Therefore, i like battlefield where if you sit behind boxes you have good cover and you are almost untouchable. (I know there two completely different games im just talking about bullett penetration.)

Well in BF2, hiding behind a thin metal wall doesn't provide protecttion I don't think, so in some ways it's like CoD4.
But CoD4 is much more realistic in the way that hiding behind something very thin will get you killed. Only weak point is that deep impact allows you to shoot through cinder blocks, which is unrealistic in my mind.

I prefer the BF2 way.  It gives you a moment of relief to reload, rearm, or heal.  It feels a little less twitchy too.

CoD4 is much better IMO, flee to cover, I'll still kill you.

Not really. It sucks that a 9mm can kill you in one shot if the guy is lucky enough.

Well in truth, a 5.56 would be able to shoot through a wall about 3 or so cinder blocks thick though it would lose a lot of its velocity and would probably ricochet of in another direction.

I like COD4 more. Because it's more realistic. I don't like having a guy behind a cardboard box and I can't kill him. COD4 is way better.

I like the CSS style a lot better, I know it's not an option but it makes more sense. If bullets go through an object and hit you, the damage is severely reduced. That way you can shoot a guy 10 times through a wall for him to die, as opposed to 3 or 4 direct hits.

I love shooting through walls. If I see a guy on the radar that's right behind a wall I'm looking at, I'll spray it and get an easy kill If some guy runs behind cover to reload and I've still got ammo left, I'll spray it and get an easy kill

I have mixed feelings on it. 

I think it's cool, and shouldn't be removed, on the other hand,  it's a game.  Games don't always have to be ultra realistic to be fun.  Walls in BF2 can be used for defense, tactics, part of the game.  In cod4 there is no safety there.  Different games, different physics   .

So I like it, think it should stay in the game, but don't see it as "it should be there it's more realistic"  Realism doesn't have to be in all games.

I like shooting through walls, you don't see that in games too often.  Gives the meaning of, "concealment does not equal cover"

shooting through walls definitely adds to the realism.  bf2 is kinda ghey bc people could hide behind wooden boxes.  that's just not realistic when you're shooting at them with a .50 cal from a jeep or something.  cod is all about the tactics, not the spraypray.

There's a destructible environment though...  Let's hope it will be good though.

Yes. This isnt a game where cover is rare, this is close combat inside, where someone can easily run away from you, therefore you can shoot them through walls so its not a game of cat and mouse.

i love it, but it gives people with spam weapons a huge advantage, most annoying

especially when they have deep impact on and the increase damage perk, if you grab an M60 and spray a wall you are guaranteed to get 10+ kills without even seeing an enemy once

I encountered a guy tonight who was making a career out of shooting through the wall at a spawn point.  It was pretty retarded. 

Speaking of things going through walls, when are these genre of games going to overcome clipping?  Between dead legs and guys on roofs above me, there is too much of it going on.
