I like Rush mode as well as conquest mode but I prefer Rush mode HC or not HC mode as for the maps I like them all my Favorite one as got to be African Harbor.

[Cain]

I'm liking Rush, and I hear HC is better...

[Jeffro]

hardcore rush... only way to fly. :2thumbs:

[Cain]

HC Rush seems the most intense, and the most action...

I haven't been playing long enough to give a good opinion yet. I like rush but haven't played any of the others types yet.

[Cain]

Conquest reminded me of BF2, HC really focuses the action, which makes up for only 32 players, IMO.

You folks know I love action in a game, the more frantic the better.

[MTJ=DK=]

I like Rush HC and Conquest, map i really don't know..:D

[Cain]

Dude, ping those IPs please. I'd like to see someone in Europe's results.

[MTJ=DK=]

I'm playing on some Europe servers and i have a ping on 160-180... and the servers say 47-65... but I'll still kick ass:twisted:

[Caddys83]

I like conquest cause I can run around anywhere. But I find myself playing rush HC. Most of the maps are cool. The maps that isnt my fav is those snow maps. :D

[Qicmee]

A lot of experienced CLRs like HC. I'll enjoy playing anything, but I usually avoid HC because I feel isolated. HC servers often have a setup similar to this:

No Killcam
Friendly Fire ON
No Aiming Reticule unless weapon is sighted
Higher Bullet Damage
No Minimap
No HUD whatsoever
No Spotting Indicators
also, I think I retained damaged health until healed (possible?)


Given that VOIP doesn't work, how do HC players communicate enemy locations on an HC server (even within your own squad)? Does the squad just stay close together and react to fire?

I'm agree with Qicmee. I like spotting and I like having a cross hair. Even though I do ok without and always use the sights I'd prefer having one. I'm good with everything else.

Rush seems to be the most popular right now

can we have crosshairs while still having lower health?

[Reconsnipe1]

Your right you dont get your health back after u lose it unless u get healed.

A quick note too....
BC2 is a rediculous game to be an admin in. Any slight changes you make like crosshairs or game type can only take affect if the server is rebooted or map is changed ingame. There are also significant differences in the servers that you buy. I got a $40 dollar server and it was super laggy and buggy. So i decided to go with a $60 server (monthly) host and it runs amazingly.

The admin tool is like rcon but it is always being updated with patches so you will have to stay uptodate with that. It is cool though u can have comments that pop up in game like "please keep teams even" or you can type stop tking or you will be kicked which pops up in the center of your screen in large letters so it is not hard to miss.

Just some thoughts to consider. It is well worth it though and is the only other game i have come across that i can see competition with cod4 in my opinion.

Qicme is right...

Apparently when you go HC all that other fun stuff goes away.... :cry: and the game becomes LESS team oriented, especially with VOIP not working right.

Not sure faster dying is worth losing all that other stuff.

Now I think I've played a lot in this game and all gametypes. Rush alone is great. Conquest is a bit iffy, too much camping- and not the tactical kind. Rush HC however is much slower pace. I only play HC Rush because I know the skill level is below what it usually is on non-HC. Hey, I like easy targets. Vehicles are a lot more useful in HC. All in all, I see more people playing HC (server wise) than all the other empty softcore servers.

But to be with you guys, I'll play anything :D (OK, anything but squadTDM and squadRush)

HC is the only way to go in this type of gameplay.HC servers are always full.

The winter maps are tougher and a little more linear. Kind of narrow gameplay. I've played without communication from the start so it helps but not a must.All the other maps are big and you have enough room to maneuver. After a bit you can get the feel of the game and see what others are doing without saying too much.

Rush is by far the best along with Conquest. The squad team matches are a waste of time. Not much to accomplish.

Minimap needs to be on so you can spawn on your team mates but only show the enemy when they shoot for a second.

The server I play on has damage retained unless healed. Good idea. There are pros and cons for the length of spawn time. I see the point of waiting for a while before you respawn. You would never gain any ground if everyone got right back in it. Plus you can make up for that with a medic around.

Reticles are for people who cant shoot. :D I dont like em. but thats just me. HUD's are not really necessary. Good soldiers count their shots.

[Cain]

After playing both I prefer Vanilla over HC, for every reason Qicmee listed.

:2thumbs:

I thought you could enable HC and still have some of that other stuff, but apparently that cannot be done on a Ranked server.

[Cain]

"Hardcore overides all other options to put the game into hardcore mode."

[Ghost_Rain]

Cain a lot of sever are now playing mixed maps conquest and Rush it may be worth considering for a later date.

[Dead...Again]

Personally, I prefer Rush, although I wouldn't mind Conquest. I prefer non-HC, but if you do decide on HC it will not prevent me from playing on the server. :)

[Pumpkin_Jack]

The only downfall to hc to me is no spotting.....
Other than that hc is amazing.

I agree. I played on an HC last night... it was very enjoyable but not so much to sacrifice mini-map, HUD, and especially crosshair/spotting.

I'm still way no0B with this game though. :D

All limitations aside:

-I prefer rush to conquest. Mixed is ok.
-I prefer to see all the maps in rotation. The snow maps are some of my faves actually.
-I like the mini map and the HUD.
-I like the console message that tells you when the Ban Hammer has fallen. It lets me think that the server is keeping the cheaters out.
-I like the extremely rare occasion when someone identifies themselves as an admin in the chat.
-I prefer HC to vanilla but until I read this thread I didn't realize the limitations it placed on the server so now I am a little split.

My :2cents:

ps. Usually the team with the fewest snipers wins.

The most fun modes/maps/settings are the ones you play with your friends, and other folks who enjoy playing with/against !!

Not if im sniping on the other team.:D

[Bon3z]

I can't live without spotting and cross-hairs.

I like the minimap though.

As far as games modes, I was totally a Rush fan. I then started playing on a server that alternated Rush with Conquest. Conquest is totally fun! Bigger maps, more vehicles and seems less spammy since people are more spread out.

Though Conquest will be lonely unless all 32 slots are filled. Maps are just too big.
