Sorry to bring this back, but I just got back to this topic. The post you refer to was supposed to make you laugh. frontline said everyone would say normal mode players were nubs, so I said it. Sorry for causing net rage.

That said, I do play HC, mainly because theres no crosshairs and if i shoot someone in the back from 2m with a SCAR, they shouldnt turn around and mow me down with their M16 simply because theyve played for longer than me. They should drop dead.... and vice versa.

Will BF3 have these types of modes?

Hope not, HC is a dirty campfest in nearly every game that has it.

You know according to the presentation PDF that DICE themselves released which was linked earlier in the thread says specifically that it is NOT backwards compatible with earlier versions of directX etc and that they're looking forward, not backward, right?

Don't assume that just because it's going to be made to run on what is comparably fairly nuggety (console) that the PC version will be neutered as hell.

I say they should make it Project Reality levels of realism... Fuck that would be sweet

If you dont like HC, dont play it. It does not effect you in any way if it is there, we can play our prefered HC and you can play your prefered normal.

Why the douchiness?

having no crosshair and more realism makes the game aids infested?

Thankyou for your thoroughly thought through opinion on that one

Or you know, Project Reality could make it. Saving millions of dollars and months of developer time. Capital idea chap.



Also about HC and non HC, I don't think there would be a major problem in having both.

But in games that do have HC, non HC has bullshit things like being able to see enemies whenever they shoot which is just rubbish.

Only thing i hope for is that pistols won't be piss weak at point blank range in Bf3, and that shotguns have a longer range

Douchiness? Didn't specifically call anyone a dirty camper, I just hope they don't waste dev time on it. Don't get your panties in a bunch though they probably will.

Do you honestly think it takes millions of dollars and months of dev time to make HC mode, really?

What time? they just turn some overlays off and modify the default HP of people.

So instead of offering a feature some people want that doesn't affect other people they just just not offer it?

lols, I'm totally fine dude, I know there will be a HC mode because of the popularity of it in BC2. Im not the one making weird statements hoping they dont include a mode which is quite popular and has no effect on the normal mode.

I really dont think you guys understand what goes into HC seeing as you seem to think it takes a shitload of resources to create

I love HC in BC2 - it means you got fire a burst into someone and move on, without having to make sure their dead. Non HC is for people who like to have a 2nd chance after being shot.........

nothing more annoying that blowing up a room with someone in it and watching them run out and find a medic.... Just die FFS

it doesnt have a place in the real Battlefield series. its not about being real. its the overall gameplay, the fact you can spend 2000hrs on it. HC just isnt what its about

You guys are making no sense at all.

These are the same devs who made ALL the BF games, if they put it in there, then its meant to be in there.

If its not about being real why are they trying to make it real? (bulletdrop, destruction, physics, new realistic animation system!?).
