- HARDCORE Mode
I'm pretty sure most people are familiar with Call of Duty 4's Hardcore mode, but for those who aren't, its a more realistic mode where bullets do realistic damage (a headshot will kill no matter the bullet size, 2 bullets take down a person, etc. Also, the HUD becomes completely emtpy, you can't tell ammo, location, or anything at that. Its just you and your gun with iron sights only. There is friendly fire as well.
I want something like that in Diaspora (Not necessarily first release), where in this mode usually 1 or 2 machine gun bullets will tear apart an enemy/friendly fighter like in the show. Also, there will be no crosshairs, and friendly fire. Missiles should take out a ship in one hit, but should also be limited to the number seen in the show. I noticed that not all fighters have missiles either, so that might be taken into consideration. Finally, if the "critical hit zones" are already implemented in Diaspora (cockpit hit does a lot of damage, engine hit reduces speed, etc) it should be exaggerated slightly.
This idea might need a little programming but I think its only Table Value editing, so I hope they can implement it. What do you guys think? Any improvements?
