In BD's campaign there's definitely a lot of encounters and jumps that are obscenely difficult to make in realism mode. But I still love it, and I don't mind the slow movement speed. It's just the unreasonable level of damage you take combined with hitscan enemies. Even a generic zombie gunner can do upwards of 40 or 50 damage with a single shot, but at least they're inaccurate. I've had countless levels lost simply because a shotgunner was ready to fire from around a corner or across a map as a door opens, and this is only if a few pellets hit. I've been at ~200/200 just to eat a meatshot from a shotgunner and get dropped to like 20 health or even killed.

I mean look at this shit. Granted, I was taking fire for 2 or 3 seconds before I died, and there was a door opening sound about 1 second before that that I should've reacted to, but still, it's totally nuts. I know obviously BD and realism mode wasn't balanced around any of the original wads, but all it needs is one or two numbers changed and it'd be fine.
