Since HC got confirmed now, any chance for Classic mode to pop up? It got released too late in BF4 to get enough interest (there are only 4-5 active Classic servers in BF4), but it is an amazing mode.
What is Classic:
100% health (same settings as normal and not HC)
FF on/off (server owners can decide)
Squadleader spawn only
3D spotting off
autoheal/repair off
No Kill-cam
RELOAD FULL MAGS On
Everything else is the same as in normal. I know main complains about HC is the 60% health. With Classic you get the best of two worlds.
Here is a more in-depth video about why BF1 needs Classic-mode made by Chris (Battle(non)sense):
Classic is the ultimate Battlefield mode for teamplay and fun!
Squadleader spawn only - teamplay
3D spotting off - more realistic gameplay
autoheal/repair off - medic and engineer will be used really - teamplay
RELOAD FULL MAGS On - ammo support is a must have
Bring the pillars of teamplay in Battlefield DICE!

To me, Classic mode would be the only one I would play only for the lack of 3D spotting. Heck, I wouldn’t even mind the FF being on if there was a mechanism to get rid of abusive TK’ers (gas grenades would be so much more real!)
Squad leader spawn seemed restrictive at first but then I realized it made people join squads and almost force players to move with their squad.
Autorepair is off already, sadly autoheal is quite alive and fast, so the Classic mode would be a lifesaver there too.
60% health and the balance of weapons was my major gripe with HC in the past, same as not knowing even the amount of magazines you had (I wouldn’t need to know the exact number of bullets in each mag) and the minimap… well there’s always the big map, even if it now is more like the “big” map in BF3 than the full screen one of BF4.
In BF4 and previous BFs you could set a auto-kick for TKs. Default is 5, but you could put it down to 3 or up to 10, if I remember correct.
To people who don’t know what Classic is: Here is a video explaining it in BF4. In BF4 3P vehicle cam is off, but in BF2/BF2142 3P vehicle cam was default on. In BF1 3P vehicle cam is necessary due to horses.
I can’t imagine classic mode is more than adjusting some variables. Correct me if im wrong. I’m still in the hope that Classic mode will come sooner or later.
Thats correct all variables available (Serverbrowser Filter) - autohealth, 3D spotting - only one we missed " Only Squadleaderspawn". Thats important to force the teamplay. Autorepair its not neccessary for BF1. It would be nice we have a Classic Setting to set the server browser filter. So all players have to set all filter variables by hand.
