Yes, I know a million other people have recommended that name as well. But it fits perfectly, so I'm using it.
Some of these suggestions have been made as well.
Ok, let's get hardcore.
First, Hardcore mode isn't a separate difficulty mode. If is just a set of conditions that can be placed on any of the four difficulties.
Ok, the easy ones
1) Number of mobs isn't shown
2) Player's health isn't shown (goes for other players seeing it as well)
3) Armor amount isn't shown (goes for other players seeing it as well)
4) Weight isn't shown
5) Wave number isn't shown
6) Distance to trader isn't shown (Red arrow and trail are still there. Have to have some concession for new maps)
7) Ammo in weapon and total ammo isn't shown
8) Time left in trader wave isn't shown
9) Number of grenades isn't shown
10) Money amount is only shown in trader area
Now the good ones
11) Reloads with ammo still in the magazine, canister, or drum loses that ammo
12) Players can not self-heal
13) Dropped weapons only have a single magazine, canister, drum, or rocket
14) Players can not pick up 3rd tier weapons of different perks
15) Ammo boxes hold a single random type of ammo. If the player doesn't have the weapon for the ammo type, no refill.
16) Some significant percentage of Friendly Fire has to be on. Maybe 20 to 30%
17) Armor and weapons don't spawn
18) Lose 1 weight of carrying for each level. 1 for easy, 2 for normal, 3 for hard, and 4 for suicidal.
Thoughts?
