I have a quick statement here...
If RedLynx knows that we make ninja tracks, and there is going to be track harder than extreme, track also known as Way of the NINJA!, why wouldnt they just give us the name of NINJA!!!
Hardcore to me sounds dumb. I mean its cool i guess. But they know we have Ninja difficulty, and they even named the 1 track thats harder than extreme (which to us is ninja), the way of the NINJA!
Where des hardcore come into play? Why didnt they just give us Ninja?

Samurai hate ninja.
Does the name of the difficulty really matter? If they give you a track difficulty harder than Extreme, and people know "this is harder than extreme" then hardcore is a good name for it in today's gaming market.
Look at COD or BFBC3, the harder, more intense, gameplay mode is "Hardcore", so, if you use the same qualifier in your game, people will know what they are getting themselves into.
I would have preferred "Boba Fett" as the difficulty name.
Seriously, you don't mess with the Fett.

Agree shifty, who cares what its called.
I am looking forward to tracks harder than extreme but ninja tracks still scare me. I hope they are easy ninja tracks because otherwise i'll struggle.
Anyway, who cares...
In the suggesitons thread I suggested hardcore mode, or something similar, but instead of being harder tracks, it was a mode where you could have tracks without checkpoints and have the b button restart a track instantly. A mode where zero fault is assumed and if you dont get zero fault, you start the entire track. When you are speed running a track or once you get zero fault, checkpoints are useless so I wanted them gone (or at least optional)... I was hoping that was hardcore mode???

Wrong!Originally Posted by ShiftySamurai
Hardcore game mode in either of these games is not harder or more intesne, hardcore game mode takes off your HUD and you have less health and more bullet damage.
Hardcore mode is to make the game feel more realistic, like you are actually in the military looking out of your own eyes. Its not any harder or more intense than regular modes, its just different.
This does not pertain to Trials at all.

Less health and more damage with no HUD = harder and more intense in my mind.Originally Posted by xPrOFeSsi0NaL

Its not harder or more intense at all. Its just a different type of game mode.
I know people that play call of duty of hardcore only. Then when they go to play regular they say wow this is a lot harder because now theres UAV's and it takes more bullets to kill and i cant camp.
Just because you have more bullet damage and less health doesnt mean its harder at all. Its just a different type of game mode.
Hardcore mode is also different tactics. Just because you are using different tactics in hardcore mode that you may not use in regular doesnt mean its any harder. Just a different game mode.

I'll have to continue to disagree with you. Having less health and dying faster seems to be the definition of "harder" in a FPS.Originally Posted by xPrOFeSsi0NaL
I have to agree with ShiftyOriginally Posted by xPrOFeSsi0NaLPeople associate 'hardcore' with a very high difficulty; people associate 'ninja' with monkeys who jump around a lot.

I like ninja better as the name because the community created it, but I'm glad hardcore will be a difficulty though. It's really about the difficulty and not so much the name anyways.

It's mainly because you are used to calling it ninja. Not many people like change
It's ok though I never liked the term doesn't mean to say I still don't use it.
