Hardcore Mode Information
by OV3RS1GHT on Thu 19 Feb 10:24
We recently received an email from Ubisoft giving us some information about Hardcore mode. Check it out!
"A lot of questions have been raised on the forums about a hardcore mode feature. Today we are happy to confirm that you will be able to enjoy this new mode on all platforms with our next wave of patches.
The hardcore mode has been designed as an answer to a community request. When designing the multiplayer game our team wanted to provide a balanced experience for most gamers. However some players were seeking and expecting a more realistic experience.
The addition of a "hardcore" setting, available in every game mode, will have many consequences:
A new damage model will be applied with increased damage for all weapons.
All weapons have been rebalanced on normal mode, and on hardcore mode.
Enemy names will disappear after the spawning invincibility period is over (A shield is displayed above a player's head for a few second to show that he is invincible).
A new option will allow you to tweak spawning time (but not spawning rate).
A new search option will be available in multiplayer to allow you to find games that are playing on hardcore mode.
We hope that you will like the changes our team has implemented to let you enjoy the game, and play it the way you want.
Thanks for your contributions!"
