With all the discussion about server configs and mode preferences, I have found myself curious to the mode favoritism differences. This is purely just for curiosity and I would rather just see this sticking to a simple format if you wish to post. Please no posts hating on server configs or modes, just keep the posts about what you like only.

1. [Which mode you prefer]

2. [Reason you like that mode]

1. Hardcore!

2. Because it doesn't take half a magazine of ammunition to kill someone and there are no floating markers above my head

1. Hardcore
2. I just enjoy that it does actually make a little more difficult, and the fact you don't have to shoot someone 1000 times to get them to 50% health. However, I did have much fun on the normal-mode TDM server today ;)
 
1. No Opinion

2. I have not played enough BF3 to really get a preference (something I know I should fix but I am a busy person). The little I have played I have enjoyed normal. They have vastly improved normal from BC2 and I will admit some features that are not available in HC are very very convenient to have and were available in BC2 HC and I really like those features... 3rd person vehicle cam anyone?
 
I play hardcore because it is more realistic, doesn't take a full clip to kill someone and also the 3d spotting is kinda ridiculous in my opinion. I also like the lack of a HUD makes you focus a little bit more on the smaller stuff, not having everything displayed for you.
 
Hardcore it's more realistic, faster paced sometimes, and is less annoying then having to unload clip after clip on enemies
 
Normal all the way, even though it might require 'x' amount of bullets to kill someone it is still not as random/unbalanced as hardcore can be... I'm sorry but in a game where vehicles are involved and teamwork is NOT a must anymore (like in older battlefields) it's pretty hard for the game to be "fair" in hardcore mode. Like I've posted in a previous post (that was lost in the 2nd page now) if you go here to this website http://symthic.com/?s=bf3 you will see ALL the weapons/vehicle stats etc, the game WAS NOT meant to be played hardcore, if this thread was about BF2 or even the first Bad Company I would say hardcore all the way, but fact of the matter is that BF3 was marketed to bring in some of that call of duty crowd and was not tailored to the real battlefield fans. Feels like a freaking CONSOLE PORT :facewall: I would end my post with an epic quote some guy on the UK BF3 forums said but I can't find it :( But here are a couple that speak truth:
Short term profit is the name of the game in today's economy. BF3 is a half baked, console port POS, but EA has your money and that's all they care about.

this is what I feel takes from BF3 being a Sequel to BF2


-AIR vehicles Unlimited ammo WTF? (go back to base and reload like BF2142 Landing had a purpose)

-Team coordination is impossible give us VOIP already (everyone just runs around like headless chicken like COD)

-unlimited ammo for vehicles ( yeah vehicles have relentless killing resources)

-Support has unlimited ammo

-cant outmanuver missles IR flare only option (WHY?)

-Netcode not HIT REG (Bendy bullets)

-Disabling vehicles (once they are disabled why do the self destruct?)

-Keybinding (WHY IS IT TAKING SOOOOO LONG do a mini patch )fixing keybinding will make cammorose work correctly.. spotting dosent work when in vehicles unless u use Q...

-ANT (is time consuming gets me killed alot cuz I have to go through the stupid animation ) if you dont know what ANT is GTFO!

-GUI WTF ( USE http://i.imgur.com/xVPKP.jpgjf32968923) [i.imgur.com]

-BF3 maps are derived from COD (Leave CODMW series mentality OP. METRO does not belong in any BF game)

- I feel that this game went to crap when they decided to attack CODMW series..

I heard on the interviews by a certain DEV "this is a true sequel to BF2" then I heard "were going to take from CODS fan base" i didnt hear how But the Writing is on the wall ...

With all this being said I will continue to play because my friends play it and you guys too, also in hopes of dice/ea fixing the game with future patches.

Yeah-well-thats-just-like-your-opinion-man.jpg


I would argue that, buuuutttt.... i don't feel like it. So i'll just say, to each his own. I like hardcore better mainly because VEHICLES DON'T PASSIVELY REGENERATE THEIR HEALTH.
 
Hardcore all the way, i see no point in playing normal mostly, takes way to many bullets to kill someone.
 
I voted No Opinion.

When I started playing Battlefield 3, I played normal. I have no issues with normal. It make take a few more bullets, but some of the features are nice, especially when you're starting out or if you aren't very good at hardcore. On the other hand, I hated hardcore, then went through a hardcore phase. I'm just happy to play whatever. To me, the gamemodes are more balanced now. You get a minimap even in hardcore...I mean, come on, even if an orange triangle above your head isn't realistic, your soldiers would spot the enemies and hear gunfire. I'll play whatever eGO has.

Let's not bring "official" statistics into this if possible. I've seen too many different vote counts of normal vs. hardcore supposedly from EA or DICE, and they're all different and biased. Anyway, while we we need to attract pubs, we're the main player base, and why have a server that's only pubs with no admins? It removes the purpose.

No matter what we make the servers, people will want it differently. Before, when we had a hardcore and normal conquest, the majority wanted a Metro server. That took over normal conquest. Now that we had a Hardcore Rush/Conquest and Normal Metro/Air Maps, we had an equal number of normal and hardcore. Regardless of which we make normal or hardcore though, someone will have a complaint. My point is, we can't please everyone, and we can't have another server for each option. If you don't enjoy our servers, maybe you should try to attend the next divisional meeting to help have a voice in the decision.

Hardcore for no regen, no spotting(easily) and easier to kill things/people.
 
I did not vote because of how little I have played this game but also I never care if it's soft or hardcore.. real men go both ways
 
hardcore because, as alot of ppl already said, it takes less bullets to kill someone, its more authentic, and its rly a bit more skillbased without the autohealing and stuff.
 
Hardcore, because of the killcam. I can live with 3-d spotting, even everyone being John Wayne and having to put a mag and a half in them to drop them. Hud is neither here nor there, don't use it half the time I play regular anyway, but when you kill somebody, their not suppose to be able to tell their friends exactly where your at from the grave.
