Hardcore

[beanlover]

When hardcore was tried here before was it on the TDM server or the HQ server or both?

I know hardcore has been done and dismissed here but I LOVE hardcore mode! I played on a server that had hardcore set and no kill cam. I was able to find a good sniping spot and not be found out because of the cam...I was there the whole round...which is much more realistic...as is one-shot kills vs. emptying a clip into someone and having them survive it. Makes the game a little more enjoyable. Actually...it trades one set of frustrations for another set...which is nice every once in a while.

yea I enjoy hardcore too...I tried it out on a server for a bit just to experience it and I found because it is more challenging it is better gameplay. Stops the nade spam and you work more as a team even in TDM. FFA I tried too and I found that enjoyable as well

Hardcore? I think it should have been called easy mode. To each their own though.

[Dead...Again]

I don't like hardcore, but I wouldn't mind removing the kill cam from both TDM and HQ.

I like Hardcore also. I think the radar/kill cams make things way to easy.

hardcore is very interesting... I enjoy it when the servers are small and people have to work together more, but anything over 32 man servers are too chaotic in hardcore

I would be very pleased with a Hardcore domination 32 server... those are great rounds, if the respawn time is kept around 5 sec.

+1 There is a hardcore Dom server I play on every once and a while that is a max of 50 I think which is pretty enjoyable. The respawns are at 10 sec which isnt too bad since the server is big so that helps keep the numbers of people in the field down a little.

Hard Core for the Winz0r... no nade spams ect. Keeps all the run and gunning machine gunners ect.

I'd love hardcore mode. Makes some of the weapons less effective that are very effective in Normal Mode.

It is OK for a change of pace.
I've played hardcore 5 times total.

Granted, I did it on a server with some really good players, and
it was when I first started playing. I got OWNED.

It does up your situational awareness factor. You REALLY don't know
who is around the next corner, or hiding behind that wall.

If I am not mistaken, you cannot remove the kill cam from TDM servers without losing the ranking ability. There are only a handfull of settings you can change that don't infringe on the server's ranking. Which, in short means, if you change these settings, the players on the server do not gain rank.

We first started playing here without the Kill Cam, so it isn't part
of the "Must Have's" on a ranked server.

We had the aerial view only, and Cain added the Kill Cam later after players requested it.

On the Hardcore server that I played on, once you got killed, you
were relegated to observer role only, no spawn until the next round.
It REALLY changed the dynamics of game play.

D&G, that hardcore server you were playing on was running in Search and Destroy mode, which only allows one spawn. Normal TDM Hardcore allows unlimited spawning.

For me, Hardcore mode is more boring than anything. It makes most players more timid than they already are, and it ends up being a camping match between two teams of snipers/G3 wielders. SMGs and shotties need not apply.

And as for nade spam, Friendly Fire is what stops that, not Hardcore mode. People remove the martyr perk REAL quick on FF servers, or they tend to get kicked for excessive TKing. Makes air strikes near impossible, and grenades and noob tubes much harder to use without killing your teammates.

Its times like these you miss the huge maps of BF2

I don't have that problem on the HC servers I play on... some people still use the MP5, but rush in short bursts, taking cover wherever they can and then shooting from cover.

I think we should have a third server without the unused Tf2 server... It can be a Hardcore server if people want it to be. Or it can be a Dom server... Whatever Cain decides or whatever we vote on...
