Why is hardcore any less noobier :S

You lose your crosshair, cool, it's barely used. You lose your map, pain in the ass. You lose your ammo counter, pain in the ass. You kill in one or two shots, oh, cool, now I don't need to worry about aim as much!

you have to worry about aim more -- if you start to hip fire at another player and miss 3 times, and he scopes, fires once, and hits you once, then you're dead

Not to mention that's where you'll find probably 75% of the good players. And that not having a mini map to let you know where shots are coming from makes it a lot harder. Or that there's no death cam, so that good sniper who has a good spot is going to rape your dumb ass about five times over.

in either mode the team that works together the most will probably win. that teamwork-to-renegade score gap will just be exasperated in HC.

my friend likes it a lot, I personally haven't tried it more than 2-3 shots (picking 1 up in a game) so I can't really tell

I played hardcore for quite a while, but you get fucked really bad when your team sucks. At least in ground war I can still fuck the other team up.

I <3 Hardcore. Silenced Intervention + Me = <3

Anyways, who else thinks Terminal is RETARDEDLY one-sided? Like, if a team pulls top spawn, they can just sit it out and pick you off as you charge. I've never won a HC TDM from the bottom spawn.

Terminal can be one-sided until someone pulls the noobtube.

I can't speak for hardcore since I don't play it, but even in normal matches the team that spawns on top wins a higher percentage of the games for sure. I usually don't even try to go up the stairs into the open area when I spawn bottom. I usually start by going into the plane and working my way from there. I don't usually noobtube, but claymores in the front of the plane can be almost as bad lol.

But yeah, I would say there is at least a solid advantage to spawning top on terminal with teams that are relatively even in skill.

Yeah, I've had some success with pushing through the bookstore, but only because it's the least expected of all the routes. If the other team knew you were there (god forbid they have mics and are calling out to each other), it's suicide.

If you can pull off the ninja up-the-gut and disrupt their setup while the rest of the team flanks you can take the top spawn. But having that level of coordination just doesn't happen in pubs.

Why hardcore is good: Quick aim with any gun will get you the kill, no stupid AR stopping power vs my SMG. Snipers are deadly, because hey lets face it- taking a sniper bullet anywhere is going to kill you / incapacitate you. No radar is really great, and because everyone uses silencers it's tones of fun! Super tactical.

Why hardcore is bad: MW2 is a game where the defender wins. Camping and holding down areas are too easy in MW2 and once you are ahead a good team of players will do just that. Really stupid trying to fight when you cannot possibly hope to clear their contain.

I consider myself pretty good at the cod series including mw2 and I think hc is really easy... Granted playing hc demands a slower, more careful play style which you may argue as being "harder". I keep seeing all these arguments about accuracy being more important in hc!?? that is complete bullshit. Hardcore is all about positioning and getting the jump on your opponent. The regular mode requires much more skill when it comes to accuracy/speed. IMO
Rekrul: It's an ancient strategy that many nowadays say is outdated ... It's like the broadsword to today's guns. But if you're not expecting it: You can get your head cut off.

The trick to spawning Spetsnaz on terminal is not letting the other team control your escalator. Once they do you're screwed, but until then I find it to be fairly balanced. If you want to talk about imbalanced maps, try estate. It literally starts with one team fighting an uphill battle...

As for Hardcore, it doesn't take any more or less skill than core. You have to play more carefully in hardcore, that is all. Someone mentioned that a sniper in hardcore will kill you five times over. That is exactly why people say HC takes no skill. There is no way to counter a good sniper. It places too much emphasis on the defense. Trying to run and gun in hardcore is like playing a low level TvP game, much easier for the opposition. It all depends on what you consider skilled though. I consider skill in a shooter to be the people who run and gun constantly and have dead on aim. I have seen in some killcams of people shooting me in the back to be spraying EVERYWHERE, only to land the kill after missing 12 shots. I can only imagine how much more of that skill-lessness goes on in hardcore where people only need to shoot you once. Overall, I just think it takes more skill to get shot, turn around and own someone after they had the upper hand than to sit around camping and making whoever sees the other first win the battle.

If you're playing hardcore and don't at least have an idea of where the sniper shot came from, even if you didn't even see the bullet, you suck, period. You also gotta learn to travel in packs. If you see a guy go down ahead of you, just don't rush out like a retard. HC is all about knowing the maps, timing rushes, coming up descretely through flanks...

HC isn't all about camping... people do it more, but you certainly don't win on just camping. Estate isn't half as hard as you guys make it out to be to break. One sniper down low picking window people (you can easily clear out the front steps) and come up from the flanks. It's all patience.
