For those of you just finding time to play the excellent Far Cry 2 there may be even more reason to take off that shrink wrap. GameGuru is reporting that an upcoming update for the game will include a hardcore mode for multiplayer matches.
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.

Having played a good bit of the multiplayer I'd be all about this. You're pretty much a bullet sponge.
