What makes this game mode hardcore is you get a limited HUD, equipment, and decreased movement speed. If that’s the case for you as well, then give Hardcore Checkpoint a try! Much like Checkpoint, you move across the map while capturing and destroying objectives. The bots in Insurgency: Sandstorm can sometimes be a bit too easy.
Enemy bots will be lurking around and waiting in every corner, so watch out. The goal in Checkpoint is to capture and destroy all objectives while moving across the map. It is a nice mode to take a break from the usual stuff in PvP since you can still play slow, and you'll die less often. Going against sweats and experienced players won't turn out to be a good gaming experience, most of the time.
Picture yourself in the middle of combat, enemies coming from all directions, encircling and ultimately killing your team.
