Hardcore mode available!

Re: Hardcore mode available!

Ugh don't get me started on CoD's "hardcore" mode. That was an abomination to the game and its gameplay, however I could see this being a bit more enjoyable.

Re: Hardcore mode available!

anyone got a list of servers running hardcore? I'd like to try it.

Re: Hardcore mode available!

Just look at the server names in the browser, they'll either have HARDCORE or HC etc etc in the title.

Re: Hardcore mode available!

also check your history - a lot of servers you've might have played on have gone hardcore.

I think it's great. It adds the one thing that BF2 and CoD killed, the ability to be stealthy.

No spotting me for everyone to see. If you see me, you have to type it or kill me. If not, I won't engage until I know I have you...I'll just sneak away and hide from you.

No commander to find me through scan or UAV.

The most fun I've had in a video game was layin low on Basrahs Edge in Desert Combat and C4'ing chokepoints with cleverly placed C4 and then hiding and waiting to blow it up. It's the perfect crime because you don't know where I was when I detonated that. BF2 killed that because everyone [could] know my exact position on the map. CoD4 multiplayer hardcore killed it with the UAV and the wonky spawning system.

I think it's great that the bf series is bringing this on board. I love infiltrating enemy lines and they don't know I'm there until a flag drops. I remember once I was 3rd place in a long battle and I never fired the first shot.

Gonna try it tonight; might be like the normal mode in GRAW 2; very few shots to kill somebody.

Gameservers mate, New York based. I got a great deal for it - will give you the details once its up and running in 30 days time :)

Re: Hardcore mode available!

wonder if it will be camp-core like COD4, most boring games in COD4 are hardcore servers, everyone just hides.... yawn

Re: Hardcore mode available!

It's just as unbalanced you'd think it would be... smgs are just as good as assult rifles at a distance and that kind of stuff

but it's far from as bad as in CoD at least, which is good. Hope they get some decent server filters going in the full version.

You should work for the Taliban in placing their IED's!

Re: Hardcore mode available!

Overall its alot of fun, you really have to slow things down. Snipers are one hit kill, all others 2 -3 hit kills. Shotgun's have a bug where if you zoom in it gives you the aiming circle. Tracer dot is useless because it has no ADS and you have to do a ton of guess work to use it.

Clear plastic sheet to cover your screen and a red dot in the middle :laugh:

Re: Hardcore mode available!

********.... 90% are sniping and when all the cover is leveled then 100% are snipers.

[BrokenMachine]

Re: Hardcore mode available!

A server with hardcore on does the following:

No Kill Cam
Friendly fire is on
More realistic damage to soldiers from weapons (dont know if its 1 shot kill havent tried it).
No gameplay HUD elements of any kind i.e. crosshair, mini-map, enemy icons.

Can be on all game modes and is ranked.


Mortor strike + HC ooh the pain.

Thanks man :thumbsup:
