Hardcore mode just feels a lot more real to me, and more enjoyable. Normal mode feels more like run and gun.
No.
No, though I dont like the changes from bf3. Hitmarkers are needed for long range engagements and making friendly mines trippable is stupid. What happened to the IFF system that?
Right there with you.
In a nutshell what is hardcore? Can someone explain please, I have never played it.
Off the top of my head, there is no HUD. I believe there is no 3rd person in any vehicles but that may be wrong. Friendly fire is on. You have less health and will die faster.
I like the real life feel to hardcore better. It takes too many shots to kill in regular. Hit markets are nice though.
This. I love hardcore but at least give me hit markers back. Mines I can live with but I am never sure if I’m killing someone at long range anymore
Also You don’t re-generate health, you need medics. And I believe there is no spotting as well.
I used to play hardcore only in BFBC2 and loved it, couldn’t stand playing regular. Also I only played rush, hated conquest.
BF3 and BF4 came along and I don’t really like the hardcore and for some reason I hate rush, only play conquest/domination. I can’t put my finger on why the differences though.
Normal mode is for COD converts imo. Only skilled players can handle hardcore. #ballsofsteel
I mostly agree. It gets bad when you have team members who teamkill just for fun, or kill you to get the vehicle you are in.
I had to check whether this came from my /gonewild or /bf4 subscription.
a place where you get an advantage from using one hand to play
Nice one.
I kinda yearn for something more for hardcore for it to really convert to playing it full time. I like the added realism, but there are some problems. Not knowing if a person is a friend or foe is a problem since nobody uses standardized uniforms and the friendly marker doesn’t work. Then the mine issue was noted already: I don’t mind dying to friendly mines if they were noted on the radio or something.. This is a problem in conquest, but wouldn’t be so in rush, for example.
Also, lack of spotting (“I spotted an enemy helicopter west of you” doesn’t really work since there’s no compass!) makes it a pain in the ass to try to (learn to) fly jets.
First, this made me angry and i thought of giving up hardcore because of markers. Now i got used to it i rarely fire a single shot on any of my team, even if im at top of the list by K/D.
I only play Hardcore and wish there were more Hardcore servers…
BF3 hardcore as I recall wasn’t quite as hardcore as BFBC2. I think by default it still had the minimap and it had regen health (although people made “Ultracore” servers with no minimap and no regenerating health).
BF4 hardcore is more like BFBC2.
edit: instead of the minimap, I think it was the inclusion of the aiming cursor in BF3 hardcore that really annoyed me.
