Ubisoft is looking to introduce a hardcore mode for all versions of Far Cry 2 in its next patch release.

The new mode, which is for multiplayer gaming, has been created due to fan requests for a more realistic experience.

Here’s what will happen:

*  A new damage model will be applied with increased damage for all weapons
* All weapons have been rebalanced on normal mode, and on hardcore mode
* Enemy names will disappear after the spawning invincibility period is over (a shield is displayed above a player’s head for a few second to show that he is invincible)
* A new option will allow you to tweak spawning time (but not spawning rate).
* A new search option will be available in multiplayer to allow you to find games that are playing on hardcore mode.

Ubisoft hasn’t set a date yet, but will let us all know when they have.
