It has been less than 24 hours but what all of you think about Hardcore mode?

I will go first. I was skeptical I would like this but I enjoyed it. I played Maggie and usually went with a PK Sentinel loadout. Yes, I was that person who either plugged enemies from range and then pushed or just simply ran at people. Hitting headshots with the sentinel and getting instant downs is quite satisfying as is two tapping people with a PK.

I also liked that the ring destroyed people who choose to keep fighting even though the ring was clearly coming. It really made you think.

The only negatives I have so far- It is a bit sniperish, for good reason. And I hate not knowing how much ammo I have without opening my bag. I was expecting to see more wingman abusers but did not see that many.

You can bring up your entire weapon HUD by doing an inspect.

One issue I have is with their decision to allow you to find out how many squads remain by scanning beacon. It makes it almost a prerequisite to run a recon legend.

All legends should be able to scan beacon if this is the mechanic. It's an LTM, not ALGS. Don't force team comps, please!

I want to pass on a hint that several of my randoms seemed incapable of thinking of. Stop wasting time thirsting!! The only possible reason to do so is if you expect a res otherwise. Which brings up a question. Do you get your armor refilled by doing a finisher?

  I played a couple of rounds of hardcore mode last night and it is great.
  Ran Vantage and she is just spot on in the mode with the built in two shot knock sniper and then push with your to short ranged weapons to finish teams.
  I literally destroyed a whole team and a half with snipers mark and an ult-excellarant.

  @pandareno1999 It's a hardcore mode so I feel like that makes sense. You don't absolutely have to run a recon unless you want the advantage of knowing.
  
  I played 2 matches & so far not sure I like it but I'll play a couple more later to make a decision.

  @pandareno1999 Not knowing how many squads are left doesn't bother me in the slightest.
  
  Also having to push inspect weapon is having to press a button to see just like opening my bag. I still don't like it.
  
  Finishing does give your shield back. I finished multiple people last night because of it. And yeah thirsting is simply a waste of time so unless they have a lifeline or new castle I just use the downed guy as bait.
