First impression......RUBBISH..can't identify teammates until it is too late in many cases, the tags don't show up until your gun is aiming at them or it passes over their body if you are aiming from the hip, most times you have opened up on the person before you have realised it's a teammate, different armies uniforms are too difficult to make out over a longish distance, no hit markers you don't have a clue if you have shot someone or not ie you don't see any points being added to your score for wounding etc, don't know how much control they will give us if we get servers for this but i find it nowhere near BF3 or BF4 hardcore, pretty underwhelmed to be honest, waited for a month for this to come out, we played 1 map today and went straight back to softcore which i fucking hate, so you can see how bad i think the hardcore mode is, hope they change it.
