TBPH, I really don't know how people put up with hardcore mode in bf 3 and bf 4.

- team killing gits
- loads more campers due to no 3d spotting, kill cam
- die in like 1 shot so no time to react
- snipers can kill in one shot
- I have found there to be less team work than in normal mode (at least for bf 3 this was the case)

Spotting isn't much of a problem in normal mode any more as:

1. hardly anyone spots! :p
2. you can't spot anywhere as much, especially when in aircraft
3. you can use that squad perk to reduce the time you are spotted etc.

On the topic of spotting, I have noticed that a lot more people are using their mini map compared to bf 3 now!

I will never play normal mode due to one aspect - enter a room in normal mode and no matter how skilled you are the time it takes to put enough damage on one player to kill them allows any number of average players to react and kill you - hardcore mode you can wipe out a whole squad before they can react if theres a big enough skill gap. (Applies a little more to COD than BF4 but even in BF4 I find it mostly true).
 
ArGH!

Error:Could not join server. Only happens to the best servers like the PTG 3200 ticket one! Cannot join it period, wether 64 players and 8 in a queue or 5/64 players like now.
 
This game like bf3 really punishes high ping players. On my own measly 5mb adsl connection on my own fairly high end setup in sig. I do terribly. Play it on my nephews rig on much lower details, i7 920 @4ghz with a single gtx 670 but an 80mbps fibre connection. It's like a different game.

TBPH, I really don't know how people put up with hardcore mode in bf 3 - BF3 was awful, skipped it completely
and bf 4. - hard core mode is the nearest thing to BF2. Normal mode is basically COD which is stupidly unrealistic

- team killing gits - I enjoy teamkilling, it was fun pushing the commander off buildings to his death in BF2. Getting run over by jeeps is hilarious too.
- loads more campers due to no 3d spotting, kill cam - there's no magical radar IRL
- die in like 1 shot so no time to react - no different than getting shot in the back
- snipers can kill in one shot - high-powered rifle hits to the finger are fatal due to hydrostatic shock, .50 blows off limbs...
- I have found there to be less team work than in normal mode (at least for bf 3 this was the case) - BF3 was awful

Guess it all just comes down to preference in the end! :p

Personally clearing a room by myself isn't too much of an issue as I would very rarely do that, more a careful slow player when moving around.

Main thing for me is just the camping + having no time to react when shot.


Epic games tonight with westie etc. Every match our entire squad were at the top :cool:

M249 is my new favourite gun, absolute beast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Only been using it for 1 hours 49 min and already got 248 kills lol

Got another 200 xp boost there + 2 100XP boosts! :D
 
Meh - each to their own. I only play hardcore now because I'm sick of not killing someone when emptying a full mag in their well aimed direction (hit reg. issues aside!)
It can be a little frustrating sometimes but once you get into the groove it's ok.

And don't even get me started on squad leaders who don't give orders!!!arghhhhhhhhhh

Give over.

COD has insanely low TTK weapons. If anything is more like COD in that aspect, it's bf3 / bf4 hardcore

Agree, IMO BF4 hardcore is normal mode and normal mode is hardcore. Having no minimap, no tags, no kill cam, 60% hp is just asking for noobs to come play and get easy camp kills/1 shot snipe kills.

Case in point, one of my friends (who is terrible at this game) will only play hardcore because, "I can one shot people with the sniper rifle on hardcore so I will only play hardcore" ..and you know what he does? He goes and finds a nice spot to lie down and snipe people for the entire map and gets about 7 kills and 1000 points.

Then when he joins me on a normal map(by mistake mind) he gets destroyed, can't kill anyone with the sniper rifle and most of the time ends up leaving the map in rage.


Normal = Hardcore

Hardcore = Normal
