The answer to the question would be … Yes! Atmon, a community developer over at the official Far Cry 2 / UBI Soft forums, posted about a new mode called “Hardcore Mode” that will be made available for Far Cry 2 after its next title update. Anyone who plays Call of Duty 4 or Halo 3 should be familiar with the concept of Hardcore mode. The multiplayer in this game is one of the most slept on multiplayer of 2008. Time to wake up.

A lot of questions have been raised on the forums about a hardcore mode feature. Today we are happy to confirm that you will be able to enjoy this new mode on all platforms with our next wave of patches.
The hardcore mode has been designed as an answer to a community request. When designing the multiplayer game our team wanted to provide a balanced experience for most gamers. However some players were seeking and expecting a more realistic experience.
The addition of a “hardcore” setting, available in every game mode, will have many consequences:
A new damage model will be applied with increased damage for all weapons.All weapons have been rebalanced on normal mode, and on hardcore mode.
Enemy names will disappear after the spawning invincibility period is over (A shield is displayed above a player’s head for a few second to show that he is invincible).
A new option will allow you to tweak spawning time (but not spawning rate).
A new search option will be available in multiplayer to allow you to find games that are playing on hardcore mode.
We hope that you will like the changes our team has implemented to let you enjoy the game, and play it the way you want.
Thanks for your contributions!
