Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 thread

What's the big deal about Hardcore gametypes? I know theres no radar and all but people really like dying by 1 shot?

We had this debate yestarday in the chatbox.

The thing with hardcore is this. You can't go running around blindly and expect to live. Its a more slower paced game overall but I enjoy it a hell of a lot more then normal.

Normal just feels so arcadish to me and its to boring.

COD4... murdering me right now and I haven't gotten past the second official level yet (well, the third one not counting the training level).

Trading in my UC2 skills for COD's has not been a smooth transition. :collide:

Preordered this yesterday after trading in a couple games and getting raped by Gamestop. Oh well.

That "surprize attack" thing might still be going on... maybe you can get a COD Beanie or a Mug with a logo on it.

^^^ more realistic too. i mean getting shot in the foot and dieing isnt but overall its more realiistic

You won't die from shots on non critical body parts. Anything below the torso will usually take two shots to kill unless its a 50cal being shot.

Free for all is a fucking blast

i love hardcore modes. i hate non HC modes. 1 reason why....because you have to hit a guy with too many bullets before he dies. this is why i hate most shooters (halo FTL). the radar map means nothing to me because once i know the maps i dont look at it unless a UAV is up

btw, i never heard of anyone dieing from 1 shot to the foot.

Also, you get rid of the friendly fire immortality. You could run into a group of opponents, and draw them out as teammates would then shoot right at you. You have to be more careful with your weapons in Hardcore. Claymores can kill teammates.

Hell, I've accidentally killed teammates with smoke bombs. Those are usually the funniest though.

hardcore reminds me of old rainbow games and counterstrike which is a good thing

If you live in the Northeast, you may be in luck. Some Gamestops will be selling the game on Monday, give 'em a call and make sure.

lol thats more than there is on Uncharted 2 and the game isnt even out yet ><

 

[Maynard]

these maps are fucking insane man. The layout of each one is so varied from being vertical to horizontal, big and small. Some are even both hor/vertical. Like highrise and skidrow where you play on a roof top and the action happens on muliplte levels. quarry is sick. its a bigger map and you have levels of actions all over....im loving the variety

Alright, I'm gonna be the first with a slight negative - the new airstrikes/gunships/harriers... it's a bit too much, especially when they're all in the air at the same time. They ALWAYS seem to find you know matter where you are on the map and it really becomes annoying. Kinda hoping this gets addressed in a future update.

thats what they're used for in real life... to find people the ground soldiers wouldnt find :2thumbs:

Hardcore is gay. I don't play Call of Duty because it's the most realistic game ever. I play it because it is fun and not far off from being realistic. Regular modes are much more fun and take more skill. In HC all you need to get on someone is the first shot. In regular you have to actually win your gun fights which is exactly why I like regular more. Although I have played HC and I am nice at it lol.

their is way way more skill in hc because every single decision you make could end up in you being blasted although with the noob-tubes and random grenades but other than that it really takes a lot of skill

 

[Spidey]

Hardcore is definitely the way to go.

i feel ya on this one. What is especially annoying right now is not having any friends that i normally play with online yet. So the random fags dont seem to understand the concept of shooting down the helicopters. Instead they just run out and get killed over and over. They stay up there for what seems like forever, but if you have an rocket launcher they can be taken down with one shot.

it seems like people who are playing have never played a COD game before. I understand not knowing the maps, but shit, you cant just sprint blindly around a corner and get shot and then say...how did he get me

win the gun fight? you mean by making random halo jumps and unloading a clip on a guy before he dies? yeah thats fun....but to each his own

I love HC just because it reminds me of Old School Rainbow Six games. I will hope over there when I can. But if I am playing in a party, I go with the crowd. I like all modes in IW COD, thats the great thing about games made by these guys. All modes are fun, not one is too annoying or unbalanced to the point where you refuse to play that mode.

Some of us have encountered that experience with Plunder on UC2.
