hardcore is already in SP, still the same 4 options
(easy / normal / hardcore / infamous)

Yeah... I think Art meant the "Hardcore Mode" with the features of the new patch, like the new damage model where hits do more damage.
It works for MP only, as far as I (and Art) know.
I was hoping it could do the same for SP, but apparently no  :(

JRD is right, I did mean the mode. They forgot the SP... isn't it sad...  :(

As everyone said above, Hardcore mode is only for MP, but alot of peeps were asking for it on the other boards, so I guess they got what THEY want. Where are the SP improvements? ;)

Art Blade

Just for your information, we have an old topic in the "questions" board that contains a lot of questions regarding upgrading from patch 1.01 to 1.02, for example save games compatibility.

The topic is this one here ("patches")

Maybe some of them are interesting regarding the new patch 1.03 :)

What they SHOULD do is come out with a Hardcore Mode that is like Diablo 2 - where if you die, you're dead for good and have to start over.

THAT would be great!   8)

steady on there foggy-leg !
infamous is pretty hard, alot harder than hardcore.
the tutorial is always pretty easy to do, but got wasted 3 times doin it ! when more than 2 mercs are shooting at you from at least 2 different angles its not so easy to shoot back and hit, and use syrettes to keep alive (only get 3).

But thats why am loving it, making me re-think how to win each conflict (and still need to keep a finger close to the quick save button)

Oh, I'm well aware of how difficult Infamous is, and the planning involved to survive each mission (especially on PS3, where there are no quicksaves).  The second half on Infamous, where you have no "stealth"ability, is extremely difficult - I have no clue how the mortar launchers are spotting me from so far away, through dense foliage.

I was just reminiscing about the adrenaline rush I'd get in Diablo 2, when a Level 80+ character has their life bulb reduced to a sliver, knowing you have to start all over again at Level 1....  :o

RedRaven

reckon all the mercs must have "networked senses" so if 1 sees you thats it, they all know where you are

(they are actually Terminators not mercs ???
or they will come lookin for me!)

Wow... I think that I'd have a cardiac and/or respiratory arrest...  perhaps even a CVA...

OK, so we are confirmed that the disc check has been removed? Guess I might as well update then.

Alas... after upgrade to 1.03, my version still asks for the CD...

Art Blade

Ok, I used the Launcher so I would get an autopatch. Got it.

I quit the game, removed the CD and fired up the game using the shortcut to farcry2.exe - works without CD.
