    you guys should try HC HQ....its not boring at all. we went the full 20 in a game last night. ended in a 195 all tie. 3 of our guys had over 70 kills. i was lucky enough to be one of them. Glad i wasnt the guy who took 95 deaths. lol

    my fav mode is still HC S&D.....i would think alot of people would find that even more boring


    But not you, because you are alpha.

    (Just kidding, don't get butt-hurt). My girlfriends brother plays that shit all the time. I just don't get the draw. I've seen him win 3 games in a row without seeing a player of the other team. *yawn*.

    Maybe if you had a good group of guys who used some actual strategy it could be alright.

      it was the mode that hooked me to shooters. Back in Rainbow six vegas 1 when we played online we used to play a type of deathmatch that didnt allow respawns. So there was a premium on playing smart which i really enjoy. Play any mode on COD and its all camping or run and gun....and thats cool, but S&D provides you the ability to play smart. My goal is to not die at all while winning the round.

      i had my best round the other night going 15-0 on wasteland. I joined in the 2nd round. The killstreaks carry over too. I got my chopper gunner and used it in the final round and killed 4 of the 6 players to end the match....good times

          My grip against the softcore gameplay is that it's basically, shoot an assload of bullets into someone and hope it kills them. Prefer to have the one good shot, and they're dead ability. Plus, I hate how my gun is usually empty by the time I get to the 4th kill.

            Way back in the day I used to play Rainbow Six on the PC (hmmm, don't remember what edition...covert opts maybe? The disk was red). This way back before console FPS was anything.

            The game didn't even have respawn mode, it was all S&D, but camping wasn't nearly as prevelant. I have a few theories as to why

            --Consoles let a lot more bad players play (just the nature of the beast), out of survival they camp.
            --MW2 has some huge maps which make it really time consuming to hunt out campers.
            --People are less chatty during FPS then they used to be. Probably because more 8 year olds, and more douche-wad college kids play (see point #1) which make it pointless to talk on the mike. But because of this, it's a lot harder to organize a search.

            That's why I had such high hopes for Operation Flashpoint. It wasn't going to be a draw for casual gamers and I was hoping for more organized games. That did happen, a lot more people talked and there was some good strategy....

            To bad the games online service absolutely shit the bed.

                I have seen absolutely no difference with the Akimbo 1887's. I questioned IW and 402 via twitter on what exactly was balanced. And to no surprise, I haven't received any reply.

                  So snipe and stfu. If there is one thing I hate about this game it's the HC people thinking they're in some ivory tower. There's a reason only 10,000 play the goddam game mode, that's because it's like watching Master and Commander.

                    Got my little brother (13) MW2 for Christmas. It was his first shooter game he's owned. Such a blast to watch him play it. Played until 3am and it was all he talked about yesterday.

                        In hardcore, its not one "good" shot. Its simply one shot. And it just instigates heavy camping. Because you know, if you're playing hardcore, you're going to die if shot at. Hardcore search and destroy is where I find the most strategy. But fuck hardcore headquarters and team deathmatch.

                            i respectfully disagree. i honestly dont see any difference in the range at all. The only thing i could say they did to the 1887 is make it a tad inconsistent. Meaning that sometimes at point blank i will mysteriously miss the enemy where in the past that would never happen.

                            the more an more i play this game i feel like IW doesnt have a game where a good player can beat a bad player. I feel like the game places an advantage on the team who is suffering. Basically providing what i will call a boost to the team thats losing. Its just a theory and i have no basis for this other then what i have seen in my 7 days of online gametime

                            sniping on core mode is not the same as HC mode. you have the cheesy kill cam that gives away your position. i prefer hardcore, but i dont knock people who play it. i just wish they had every gametype in both hardcore and soft core modes

                                I play both, and you're endorsing camping. Sniping, in my eyes, consists of moving around. But, if you can defend your sniper perch even after a kill cam has given you away, even more props.
