This isn’t a bashing thread for Normal core players, it’s strictly talking about the addition of Hardcore.
Hardcore really isn’t a demanding option. We just want more damage, no map, and no aim assist. If we can get those things the game would be fine. Sure things like flares may not work correctly, but it’s Hardcore.
Battlefield Bad Company 3, BF3, and BF4 are good examples
I highly doubt addition of HC mode can automatically make the game successful. It’s not that simple.
That said, a hardcore mode would give the masochists somewhere to go and us normal people can play without a hardcore lite approach.
In that sense, I hope BF6 does have a separate hardcore mode.
You beat me to it. I think you are spot on. For those that like attrition, , don’t like spotting of any kind and split-second TTK, I say give it to them.
I will just add, they DICE/EA need to provide the server rental service like BF4 for those that don’t like certain things like grenades. I played BF1 yesterday and loved the grenades going off like Crazy at Fort Map it was total chaos and awesome. There is no total chaos in BFV, just frustration.
While I do think there is a place for hardcore mode in Battlefield and that it should always be available at launch, I thoroughly believe that the core game is a lot more important because that is where the majority of players are going to be. If the core game isn’t good, a hardcore mode would be nothing but a bandaid at best.
Absolutely, but trying to ‘combine’ modes into a one size fits all satisfies no one.
Absolutely.
Still, the game won’t magically become enjoyable if HC is added.
I doubt such addition will change anything in BFV and its soft-core approach.
It is too late for BFV, hardcore should have been there from the start, hopefully that will be the case for BF6.
Well EA “promised” to make some additions to community games so maybe those will include HC option.
Of course it had to be here from the beginning but you know… BFV is a very special child.
Dice would have to change a lot of stuff if the funfactor should clime above 4/10 imo.
Not only hardcore vs normal mode, but also a working AC, private servers, performance, balance, mapdesign, semi sniper sim, stupied animations, attrition, upgrade trees, asignments and garbage mechanichs for tanks and planes.
Its a cocktail that simply taste bad. Hopefully Dice have learned a lesson and will get back to what worked very well in the past and not make this kind of mess again.
200% damage model would be awful.
It would need to be 60% health.
Otherwise u have a semi auto 1 hit kill any range weapon. ZH-29.
Tbh Planes already seem to be taken from hardcore mode…
Why’d you turn this into a bashing thread? It doesn’t even mention the normal game mode in a bad light?
If I pay for something I like to have the power, to ban specific things..mainly attachments..bringing in server rentals will help..HC will always be fun..it’s the only place where the snipers can actually rank up their weapons..
I haven’t, you have simply been over sensitive to what I said.
Having dabbled in hardcore, I genuinely rhink that people who enjoy that mode are masochists with no insult intended.
You may also want to look up the definition of ‘masochist’ before responding further.
flares and spotting should work in HC mode.. just press “M” to open the map 
that’s how it worked in bf4
the 3D-spotting is what annoys me the most in SC .. ofc a faster ttk is also nice =)
If DICE actively promotes Hardcore, then they have to actively support it. That means everything they make, fix, and change for the main game needs to looked at and tweaked from the HC perspective as well. And right now they don’t even know how to balance one damage/ TTK system.
Another issue I’ve seen from HC discussions is that if you ask 10 HC players what HC mode is supposed to be, you’ll get 10 significantly different answers.
HC belongs only in custom games. DICE needs to give players the ability to create whatever gimmick mode they want and not have to worry about it.
I faceplanted when anyone in any game bf franchise related, claimed hardcore is good. I imagine that first one year in BF5 with people blending into the ground or camoing perfectly that you literally stepped on them, playing hardcore mode. Better name in campcore mode.
Aside that campcore mode should be added for a simple reason. Let those true players play hide n seek game thinking it is arma or a virtual warfare game. And the best part of battlelog history was about those platoons calling themselves vets with military ranks and such. Best entertainment ever on Batttlefield.
If at least they gave us the “friendly fire” ,
we would stop seeing spamm of artillery and grenades in the middle of a basic conquest,
and “magically” all the teammates hopping cheerfully without any damage…
and finally be able to eliminate some cheaters with teamkill…
2 years of battlefield5 = 0 ragequit
10 hours of “hell let loose” = 1 ragequit
Most of you people crying for HC could not stand it… and those who can, are few…
But i fully support this
“DICE needs to give players the ability to create whatever gimmick mode they want and not have to worry about it.”
