Bigger squads and Battlelog most likely won't happen. Having Hardcore at launch would be great for those who enjoy that mode though, but there are no details on that yet.
- Hello @alucardgr
Sorry to hear that but Battlelog Is Discontinued Service and it will not return to support any new Battlefield Games. 🙂
We have no info about Hardcore Mode yet but Im sure it will be able to play later.. Squad will be 4 man Squad - @alucardgr It was long ago decommissioned unfortunately. The chances of them bringing it back are slim-to-none at this point really.
Never say never and all that jazz, but I just can't see it happening myself. - @alucardgr While I agree with maybe +2 for 6 man squads and the Battlelog, I don't agree with Hardcore. I never understood the fanaticism with it. Sure, basically nothing on HUD I get but 1 to 2 hits anywhere on the body equaling death isn't fun for a sandbox arcade FPS imo. To each their own I suppose. If I want hardcore, I'll go play SQUAD or Tarkov, which is more milsim anyways.
- @Mephiticshepard In the past one requirement for Hardcore Servers was a rental server program, which gave a plenthora of options.
I personally played most my BF4 matches on servers with a classic ruleset and enabled friendly fire.
In my opinion just enabling friendly fire just increases the gameplay experience immensely, but I don't see friendly fire on any official DICE servers I miss the Classic preset. Basically HC but HUD and 2D spotting enabled.

Historically I've played both and HC offers a unique experience that has a completely different pacing, weapon meta ( more weapons are truly viable), and flow than the normal core rule set where you can spam explosives with impunity. I see no reason for DICE to continue on with the horrible hard core lite mode from BF5 that few enjoyed as much as the classic core\HC split if they're truly looking to make a successful game, earn back the community's trust, and most importantly for Andrew Wilson make money.
@alucardgrBattlelog was pretty nice and will be missed, but it's not coming back.
Hardcore mode will likely be available in BF2042 since it is easily implemented, we just have not heard yet.
I am not a fan of bigger squads really. I already hate the random spawn bombs that can happen as you are trying to take out an enemy squad and having larger squads will only make that worse.

BFBC2 had a fantastic HC mode. You really had to keep your head on a swivel. I'm not a huge fan of HC, though, the lower health model means faster ttk and less opportunity for a decent shoot out and it certainly stops the battlefield moments before they can bloom because everyone is respawning after trading 2 shots.
4 man squads seem too restrictive on a 128 player server, 6 to 8 seems like it's more suited.
