Mode Poll, Do you like Hardcore or Normal better?

[Krod Mandoon]

My thoughts exactly. 1942 was simple and years of fun.

The only thing I dislike about normal mode is spotting. It's a great idea, it just needs more complexity to add realism.

Hardcore is much more prone to snipers/campers. 1 shot kills make it an extremely overpowered class. Which is great if you are a sniper, but it gets frustrating. Limiting the recon class to 2-3 would make sense, but that leads to frustrated players that want to play recon and nothing else.

Another reason I like normal, you have to know how to aim to be good at any of the classes. Headshots are very easy to get and bring enemies down just as fast as hardcore.

Well BF has always a sort of spotting, sure I would have preferred that they have taken the BF2 spotting where you put a marker on the map where enemies might be or the BF2142 spotting which used a spotting helmet that would spot enemies if you had that specific equipment on, either at least spotting isnt as silly as BC2's was

Hardcore for reasons that have already been beaten to death. mainly the rediculous 3d spotting but I have played HC in every game it was possible.

i dont even like that fact that there is a minimap in bf3 hardcore.

so many people complaining about 3D spotting in normal mode but if you played it sometime you would know 90% of the pubs don't even spot with Q.

In other news, can't wait for 1 shot kill with sniper rifle in hardcore. i'll be trolling.

Amen to that. Of course it can be disabled in the server settings, but finding a server setup that way can be pretty tough.

Up you go senior poll, lets keep getting votes in, I want as high as a poll count that we can get from our BF3 players

 

[Deptacon]

I think this thread and poll put to DEATH the notation that "Most eGO members prefer Hardcore"

This. I don't know why people think everyone likes hardcore. Yeah, many do, but I would not say enough to warrant 3/4 of our servers being HC, and the 4th being Op. Metro

Now now, the purpose of the thread wasn't for reference for future server configs it was just to satiate my curiosity.

Last I checked it was a 50/50 split, Rush and Conquest rotations are hardcore and TDM and Metro/Bazaar are normal.

I agree though. While many of us do like hardcore, it's about even.

 

[Cookiiiiiiiiiiie]

Normal.

Higher health, 3D spotting, and Killcam all encourage aggressive play over camping, so that's where you'll find me :thumbup1:

Well unless I read it wrong i believe metro/bazaar has hp set at 60% which is HC hp

Its not just HC or normal, its the gametype too. TDM and Metro hardly count as normal. They are both very polarizing gametypes.

I play BF3 for Conquest 80% of the time, and when I'm in the mood, some Rush for the other 20%, all of it normal. Outside of eGO tournaments/events, I will never play Squad rush, squad TDM, or TDM.

Yes I know it's not all about me, but I don't know many people that like TDM.

As far as Operation Metro...well...its just freaking Operation Metro...

Lets not get into a game mode argument, as I have stated a few times before just keep posts to about what you like about your specific favorite and try to stay away from arguments that are off topic from the post's original intent :chair:

the thing is you dont even have to press q you just ahve to aim twards them and a magical orange triangle shows up, which renders smoke absolutly useless becase players just have to aim in it to see your triangle running threw and spray.

It has been changed to 100%. Mainly due to the fact that the server appears as "Custom" instead of one of the preset searches (Infantry, Normal, or Hardcore) when searching for it. Not many people search for "Custom" servers. Atm it set to the Infantry Preset

That doesn't spot for teammates. Only you can see the temporary spot.

 

[Ranchito]

I am aware of that but it does make a big differance when you have a good spot and are not really visible.

That server really needs to be a hardcore server, it would attract much more attention as one.

Again guys lets keep this focused on the topic of the thread, its not a hardcore vs normal thread, its a vote on which you like more and post why, not reasons against the other mode. Killer if you think TDM would do better as HC do as the advisors always say, drop box it.
