One shot kills with the FAL??  WOW!

I love Hardcore, but hate TDM/SnD/HQ.  I wish they would make hardcore modes of all game types (I'm a demolition kind of dude).

Now that I've started, I find it unfortunate that not ALL game modes are available as Hardcore.  It's wildly more satisfying to do well in Hardcore.

The only problem with hardcore is that if you hate noob tubers, hardcore is hell! It takes absolutely no skill and the splash damage is so large even without danger close. Everybody usually uses coldblooded so air support is useless so if you hate air support, hardcore is the place for you because you don't need stopping power. I enjoy playing ground war and going 50-20 so I don't play much hardcore too much but in COD 4 the only thing i played was S-D and hardcore because juggernaut didn't help you  and killing people was so much easier without people knowing where you are via the killcam.

" @Krummey: Yep.  I don't think it would be hard to have a hardcore mode of every game.  I don't see why they don't do it. "

they don't want to dilute the amount of players in each playlist. If you double the amount of playlists, theoretically half of each playlist would leave, making it harder to find games. It's also taxing on servers and whatnot. "

There are hundreds of thousands of people playing this at any given time.  Surely one could find eleven other people to play any mode.  But why not at least make a Hardcore Mosh Pit? "

Hardcore solves a lot of issues regarding weapons and perks being overpowered. None of the shotgun, knifing or spawn raped bullshit. Of course it has its issues with campers, slow pacing and explosives from noob tubes.
 
I tend to stay away from hardcore simply because of campers and me not being able to find them.

" @DystopiaX:  Maybe I'm naive but isn't server use just a function of the number of people playing at once?  Regardless, hardcore is the way to go, and hopefully they will consider fleshing out the playlist a bit. "

I wish, and I know this will never happen, but I wish there was a Hardcore Moshpit style playlist with Noobtubes, Thumpers, AT-4s and RPG's all disabled. That would be ideal for me. And make it more of a strategic gametype.

hardcore team death match is great for getting the knife with the gun. it was the only time i used it, to level up my UPS.

The game feels faster and more frantic.  I love it.  And I love when  a teammate calls for a package and right before it lands you blast them away and take their stuff.  LOL.  I got a lot of good stuff this way.  Some chopper gunners and a couple of AC-130s.

" @bigsmoke77:   So if a dude stands in front of my sentry gun with cold blooded, it won't shoot?  Weak.  Oh well, the more satisfying gunplay makes up for the lack of effective killstreaks. "

Don't like it to be honest, seems to be a camp fest. All I play is hardcore snd and mosh pit.

It's definitely an interesting trade-off. I tend to play Hardcore more often, because I'm a lot better at killing dudes when the guns, you know, kill dudes. 
 
That said, I find regular Team Deathmatch fun when I want my killstreaks to be effective, and I'll play Hardcore when I want to kill guys quickly.
