In Battlefield 4 there are also two general modes to play -Normal and Hardcore.

Normal is a default mode and you can find most servers utilizing this one. In the Hardcore mode, the game, and its mechanics, change..

The changes are server-exclusive because their owners can change individual rules. Still, the most frequent settings are:

• Lowered health level -from 100% to 60%
• No automatic regeneration of health and vehicle condition
• No visible health bars and ammo supply
• No reticle
• No locking of enemies on the screen (you can only see them on the minimap)
• Friendly fire on (you can kill a member of your team)
• No possibility to watch the enemy that killed you (after you die)
• No third-person camera for vehicles
• No highlighting of enemies after you hold your aim on them

The Hardcore mode is considered to be the most demanding of all, and the beginner players may be severed a bit here. Still, they can learn a lot here. The Hardcore mode is capable of expanding your swiftness of reaction and improve on your shooting skills.

Due to the fact that you die faster - the player becomes more careful about his steps and pays more attention to the surroundings.
