In a post from Ubisoft on their Far Cry 2 forums it was announced that a patch is coming to Far Cry 2 multiplayer on all platforms. The patch adds hardcore game mode as well as re-balances multiple weapons. here are some details on what the patch will include:

• The addition of a “hardcore” setting, available in every game mode, will have many consequences: 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.
