I have heard that Bioshock Infinite has a difficulty setting called "1999" mode which is supposed to make the game more difficult as somewhat of a throwback to first person shooters from the late 90's.
What changes does enabling "1999" mode make to the game and what do you to do in order to enable "1999" mode?

Despite promises to the contrary, "1999 mode" is more like one difficulty notch above Hard.

The things that are different:
Overall, it's very similar to other FPS games on their hardest difficulty. I'm doing pretty much the same things here that I would in a Legendary run of a Halo game, or a Veteran run of a CoD game.
You can unlock it with the Konami code at the title screen, or by finishing the game on any other difficulty level. Many games have this feature of locking out the hardest difficulty until you've finished the game, and I would highly suggest you take this route. There are times when you will want to know the lay of the land in a situation where you can screw up and still survive. Knowing what weapons to upgrade is harder without knowing what weapons you'll encounter, for instance.
