In Battlefield 1 there will soon be 2 new game modes that will require a lot of skill from you.
Various game modes in Battlefield 1 are intended to bring variety to the game. In conjunction with the dynamic weather, no battle should be the same as another. To increase diversity in the game, two game modes are already planned to be integrated soon: the Hardcore mode and the “Fog of War” game mode. We will show you what these modes are about.
Battlefield 1 goes Hardcore
In the game menu of Battlefield 1, current announcements for the Hardcore mode and Fog of War can be found. In Hardcore mode in Battlefield 1, you play with more risk and have to forgo many safety measures. The Battlefield veterans among you probably already know this mode and what to expect. In the past, the Hardcore mode in Battlefield had the following characteristics:
- Reduced user interface: No minimap (accessible via hotkey, but not permanently displayed), no display for ammunition, health, or grenades, and many weapons without crosshairs.
- Fewer health points (60% instead of 100%).
- No health regeneration (only through medkits).
- Friendly fire enabled.
- Spotting does not show locations of enemies or put red symbols above their heads.
- The third-person view in vehicles is not available.
Whether the Hardcore mode in Battlefield 1 will be adopted exactly as is remains unclear. However, most of these features were part of the Hardcore mode in other titles of the Battlefield series. They will likely be included in the latest installment of the Battlefield series as well. According to Dice employee Striterax on Reddit, Hardcore servers are supposed to be “very soon available in the game”.
The “Fog of War” game mode
This game mode is something new for fans of Battlefield. The “Fog of War” game mode features altered gameplay settings, creating a unique challenge. In Fog of War , players must cope with poor visibility. The challenge is that you have to play without a minimap. Additionally, no nameplates are displayed. As the name of the game mode suggests, you are also in fog, which makes orientation even more difficult.
When these game modes will be integrated into the game is currently unclear. We will inform you as soon as there are news on this topic.
