So I've been playing BF3 and for some reason I enjoy HC mode more than just the Normal mode. I can play the normal mode and get a decent stats plus I dont mind playing normal mode as long as my team works together. Anyone here play HC exclusively?
 
I'm not a huge fan of HC mode. In games that already have gimped voice communication the elimination of enemy tagging makes it a cluster. Now if it had coms channels like Arma 2 we could talk. A vehicle channel would be amazing for gunner/driver co-op in tanks.
 
i love hardcore mode, but i HATE not being able to use anything buy first person view in the jets, not that i cant use it effectively, but i just prefer switching between 3rd and 1st person to track air vehicles.
 
True, I dont know why not have voice communication in game for your squad is beyond me. This would really help when playing pubs or even with friends w/out ventrillo.

Yeah, definitely something that should have been in the game from the start. Although, I do find myself just using Steam or Mumble as a voicechat provider while playing but that's only with friends. EA/DICE need to add ingame voice chat.

I've always found Hardcore mode to be a lot of fun and definitely play it when possible if everyone in my group wants to.
 
HC is a pussy mode introduced in BFBC2 and has no place in a real BF game.

That said, in BFBC2 Hardcore mode was the only good game mode since the hit registration was just straight up awful in that game.
 
I'm trying to find this via search engine but maybe I can get the answers quicker this way.

What are the differences between hardcore and normal on BF3 and BC2 respectively?

I've never tried hardcore in either game because frankly I'm just not that good of a player but I'd like to know.

I wish they allowed for us to use TrackIR. It's not nearly as bad to fly in first person with head tracking.
 
I hate Hardcore because I dont like getting shot in the back. I also like not having my HUD gimped.
 
I only played HC in BC2, but I seem to be enjoying normal much more in BF3. It seems like you die a little bit TOO fast in BF3 HC, even more so than it was in BC2. Once I'm more familiar with the game we'll see if I trend back that way.
 
at the moment i am liking normal mode better. i generally stuck to HC in the past but, not in BF3.

some HC dont have the crosshair and also it depends on the server settings. Some will disable vehicles like tanks and choppers. No kill cams, less health than normal mode and no regeneration of health and friendly fire. Stuff like that and many more, but those are the only things that came to mind.

For you and your friends you can create a party in battlelog and you are automatically put into voice chat between party members. The service is included with the game. From there, join as a party to a server and you all should be on the same team unless there are no spots left on the team. From there have your friends switch squads until you are all on the same one.
