I still don't really like this arcade gaming like it's now. I know that there will not come any usable HC-mode in BF V, but I also know that I will only buy the next BF if there is such a mode. Marking an enemy (or better: getting marked by an enemy) is more of less the spears head regarding realism. Also, in former times we used to play this game some kind of tactical/realistic. down to preference, whether people choose to play BF3 or BF4 compared to Battlefield 1. Friendly fire can lead to a much more interesting experience than that stupid grenade/noob tube spam we have now in the game. Step up Your Game in the Hardcore Servers of Battlefield 1. In BF V, the amount of explosives flying around is disgusting. Also, I always love to play close quarter combat. If you are used to hit your opponent with one single bullet when using a sniper rifle (or two if you use a semi sniper rifle), it's worse if you have to hit the same three or more time to get him down. Which also meant: after buying BF V (along with expecting an existing HC-mode) it was a hard time for me to be able to play. I can't remember that I ever played a normal game in BF3 and BF4. Since BF3 (at least regarding a game from the Battlefield series) I was playing HC only. Battlefield 1 got the mode some time after launch but at least it got it I understand it is not everyone's cup of tea but there is a large community out there who love the hardcore modes and more realistic game play.

I'll follow this thread because it's also something I really miss in the game.
