You lot are a bunch of masochists but, you’ve got it; the hardcore mode in Operation Flashpoint will contain no HUD/UI elements at all other than radio chatter subtitles. That’s right, no crosshair, no compass, no gun or ammo displays…Nothing…

There will be no objective markers, no bleed meter, no direction of fire indicator, no enemy location highlights and no damage indicators. Nothing!

To show you what we mean, here's an example for you all taken with the new hardcore settings

Quote:

All navigation will have to be done via the map; calling up your QCR (quick command radial) will show you your fireteam status only while the button is held, and pressing weapons select will bring up the weapon/ammo selection menu, again only visible whilst the button is pressed. In addition there are no checkpoints, no soft saves and no hard saves, there’s only one word for it, HARDCORE!!!

Hopefully hardcore mode has actual gameplay changes as well, if it has a silly health system it won't truly be "hardcore".

Supposedly the health system is modelled around a virtual facimile of the human blood circulatory system. You get 7 litres of blood and depending on the size of the wound, you bleed out a varying rates. If you don't suffer from a mortal wound first.
