Hardcore mode deserves a permanent spot in the main menu, just like Conquest or Breakthrough. Here’s why:
Accessibility & Convenience – Players shouldn’t have to waste time searching through the server browser, scrolling endlessly to find a proper Hardcore server. A quick-access Hardcore button in the main menu guarantees that every player can jump straight into the experience without frustration.
Consistency & Quality Control – Relying on Portal servers for Hardcore settings is unreliable. Each server has different rules, damage models, or modifiers, which makes it nearly impossible to find a consistent experience. An official Hardcore mode ensures balance, fairness, and a standardized rule set across all matches.
Community Demand – Hardcore has always been one of the most beloved modes in Battlefield history. Many veteran players, including myself, consider it the most immersive way to play. Adding it to the main menu respects the franchise’s roots and gives long-time fans what they’ve been asking for.
Player Retention – Casual players may enjoy the default TTK, but veterans want realism. If Hardcore is hidden only in Portal, many players will lose interest quickly. By giving Hardcore an official place in the main menu, you’re catering to both sides of the community and increasing long-term engagement.
No Downsides – Adding Hardcore mode to the main menu takes nothing away from the game. It doesn’t replace other modes, it simply gives players a direct option. Everyone wins: casual players keep their modes, while veterans get a proper, easily accessible Hardcore experience.
Hardcore isn’t just a “custom option” — it’s a fundamental part of what makes Battlefield unique. Please give it the recognition it deserves by adding it directly to the main menu for fast, official access
