    How-to: Start a Hardcore Campaign

    I finally was able to figure out how to start a campaign in hardcore mode. The menu is a little misleading, so here's how.

    You select Multiplayer, then Campaign. On that screen, the difficulty will be greyed out, in normal difficulty mode. Once you click "Start Campaign", you don't actually launch into the campaign however. Instead, you're greeted with another screen where you Select Campaign!

    The Select Campaign screen only has one campaign for now, as nobody's dug into the mission editor yet. Above the "Dragon Rising" campaign, you can see a toggle for difficulty. Select hardcore there, and then you start the campaign.

    Hope that helps

    If only people would play hardcore mode online. I just checked and all the coop servers are running 'normal' or 'experienced' mode .

    If you start one up people will join up pretty quick. Also servers that are in game will not show in the list afaik, so it's just a matter of when you check it.

We have received them as a fair inheritance from our worthy ancestors: they purchased them for us with toil and danger and expense of treasure and blood, and transmitted them to us with care and diligence. It will bring an everlasting mark of infamy on the present generation, enlightened as it is, if we should suffer them to be wrested from us by violence without a struggle, or to be cheated out of them by the artifices of false and designing men.

    I've got a hardcore campaign up to mission 3 saved right now. we could play if you want. It just sucks because most of the time i start that one up i get people without mics or just drop out after they die because they ran infront of my SAW.

    Being new at this game, what is the difference in MP for the level modes (Normal vs hardcore)?

    Re: How-to: Start a Hardcore Campaign

    Quick question since my game isn't in yet : It's possible to play SP on Hardcore immediately, right?
    If I have to beat normal/experienced to play the mode I want to then :/

    Yep, any game-type, any difficulty... only thing you have to 'unlock' are the missions.

    You can also have campaign saves of multiple modes. Just use separate save slots. I have one for my hardcore campaign and one for my experienced campaign.

    Sure is, I haven't tried any of the other modes yet, hardcore FTW .

    The only thing that annoys me about it is that you can't see your firing rate without bringing up the weapon menu. You also don't hear a 'click' like you do in most games when you switch firing mode.
