hi all

i'm having a strange bug ingame sometimes.

(sorry for my faulty english, hope you understand)

sometimes, i lose all my sights (the small cross dot to aim at targets)
and at the same time, i'm losing my minimap also (on bottom right of my screen) i don't have it anymore ingame, i have to click on Map button to see the map each time, but i don't see the minimap.

is it a well known bug ? or is it a button to get them back ?

thanks

ps : also, is there a bfbf2 faq or something ? i'm discovering the game and i'd like to know how to use most of the tools, choppers etc (as a chopper expert in bf2.. ), thanks !

to answer your first question, you have joined a hardcore server where the map and crosshair is removed and weapons do more damage. also you die alot faster, spotting doesnt show the enemies and you dont regenerate health. so its not a bugg so dont worry.

for your second question, im not realy sure there is a good one ATM. have you searched on sites like IGN and Gamespot?

thanks a lot !

i just noticed it was on many servers

and each time, i don't have the minimap too (i have to click the button to see the entire map).

thanks for your answer, i didn't know all those kind of things.

is there a way to check if the server runs hardcore mode before connecting to it ?

in the server browser list you should see a arrow rigth of the server name. clicking on it will give you a menu. if you choose server info it should say in the lower right corner hardcore on/off. sometimes the fields in the server info is blank. this is due to the server being far away from your current location so dont worry if they show up as blank fields.

Also most but not all have something like HC in the name, so people know it's hardcore. As i say not all servers will have anything to show you one way or the other, but alot of Hardcore servers have something like HC in the name.

You can also filter the servers by removing/showing only the hardcore servers. It also shows an orange skull in the icon list in front of the server name if the server is hardcore. At least it works like this on PC, don't know about consoles though.
