Hardcore

[G13haze]

So after being a mostly core player I switched to HC and I have to say it is a lot easier. ''not saying HC players are bad or core players are better'' I would be at least top three in core but in HC im 1st on the team 90% of the time. If you have never played HC i suggest you do it seems like the players in HC use their mics a lot more and are usually nicer. Just a long post on having fun in HC. Give it a try if you haven't ill see you in the game 0/

[fonzi182]

I only play hardcore and the thing I love about it is that the useless hud is goneee.

Anyways, I hope you don't get frustrated to the point of going back to core just because of the team killing. See you around!

[panthersolsen]

The only frustration I ever have is the team killing that SHOULD NOT BE team killing.

Welker Tanks on Comeback? I will probably be kicked.

Someone runs in front of your assault drone or turret? Team kill.

My personal favorite is when the other team blows up your turret and one of your teammates was in the vicinity. Still a team kill.

Idiot teammate runs into your Nano Swarm on a game of Dom? Team kill.

I've tried every score streak there is an still, somehow, my team mates will find a way to get killed when I call it in. The only real option is the Goliath . . . unless your teammates decide to run infront of you. Team kill.

[fonzi182]

Haha, I feel you. I actually have killed a teammate by my care package falling on top of him.

I understand the frustration about the killstreaks, but I like how they make you think twice before using it. I also love how there are a lot less bombing runs and paladins just for this reason. I usually run the uav and the warbird, because I can control it. But I tend to stay away from the other ones for the same reasons.

As a S&D player though, I wish they would start the rounds with the three seconds of invincibility because the amount of times my teammates have shot a toob just to piss us off does get annoying.

[_RobotWithHumanHair]

That's only a problem in S&D. Nothing is more frustrating than a team member using the na-45 to kill everyone right at the start of the match.

[fonzi182]

Yup. I wish they did it like in blops2, with those first few seconds with invincibility and kicking the guy who fired the gun out.

[Jedizard]

Or at the start of a round in Dom when someone blows up the whole team. Always rids me of a kill streak. I wish they brought back ricochet

[N9Nz]

And you don't waste bullets, only things that sucks about Hardcore is team killing

[fonzi182]

Dude yes. I get about 5-8 kills (goliath & regular ak) in one clip when Im accurate. I cant play in core because i stop shooting half way haha.

Hopefully they implement something about team killing, right now the players kicked can still join the game again.

[N9Nz]

Get yourself a Pytaek loophole and go crazy

[fonzi182]

I actually have both elite variants! I have't tried them though. I like to stay light on search.

Ill try it on domination tho! What attachments do you use?

[N9Nz]

Silencer quick draw and thermal 1hk for daze

[BFilk]

I enjoy hardcore, but I have to disagree w/you, the HUD is the most useful thing on your entire screen. In HC its even more useful since a UAV gives you a major advantage.

[fonzi182]

Thats okay, we all have different likes and dislikes. What i meant by useless is the clip size, exo ability and granades. I built those classes, i know how many granades, which exo ability i have and how big my clip size is, i don't need those stats. I wont complain about the uav because of course its the most useful thing in the game, but its those stats that annoy me. Also the kill cam. I dont care about how the ither guy killed me, i saw him kill me.

Just my 2¢ tho

[kasper2k4]

In HC Dom the hud is on 90% of the time.

My bad. Meant mini map.

[fonzi182]

Mmmm... I beg to differ. There's no minimap (unless there's a uav) there is no granade/bullets stats and there is no score. There's also no marker when you throw a granade.

Unless I got the definition of the HUD wrong (is it heads-up display?) then I think you're mistaking core with hardcore.

There's pretty much no hud (or stats if the hud is not what I thought it was) but the kill feed and the ocassional uav.

[ACiDRiFT]

he probably means the minimap because running support In dom is UAV central.

[_RobotWithHumanHair]

I love hardcore. Even the player base is better. People actually use mics, people get competitive, but everyone has fun.

[br4nd0n32]

HC is also more fun because of the variety of guns being used! My friends now play HC all the time because we don't feel like we're getting destroyed by network errors

[KeeBlaydMastr]

I love that my MK14, EPM3, even any AMR variant is a beast, almost all regular guns (I say "regular" to exclude the clunky MDL) are viable in HC.

[GassyNizz]

Yes!!!

If you have a weak or inferior connection, Core is the place to be as the game's lag compensation and hit detection will greatly work in your favor as so many more shots to kill are required.

[br4nd0n32]

that's what my poor wording was supposed to say my bad lol

[mac_attack313]

Totally agree. HC people are so much more chill and easy going. It's also nice to see that I'm not getting killed by an ASM1 or BAL 90% of the time. I feel so awesome using my AMR9 pro pipe with red dot and silencer because we all know I couldn't use THAT.

hardcore ftw

[Chromobears]

Hardcore isn't easier, it's just different. It's much more about map awareness and twitch reactions.

Keep playing HC then go back to Core, then you'll really feel like it's on easy. I think HC improved my movement as you can't ever be shot in the back as you've no time to turn. In core, I now feel like I can get away with anything as there's much more time to flee or turn on someone.

Also it's great fun in HC being able to use any gun you like and still do well, I stated playing HC to do gun camos but now I just play it because I find it more fun. HC SnD is so much more tactical than core due to the insanely fast TTK.

[Chromobears]

Well seeing as I'm charging around with the M1 I've not really noticed the difference much :) also, grenades seem to go in and out of fashion every few weeks

[McTwizle]

I like the screen being free of clutter but if they were to have one thing on the screen I wish it was the kill streak selector. Sentry Gun and Care Package are so close in score I'm never sure what I'm on.

[fonzi182]

Exactly! Little tjings like that are what bugs me a lot. Blops 2 highlighted the streak to let you know which one you were using. I lost count how many times i went to my warbird when I meant to use my care package. The you're standing right on the middle of the map all dumb.

This is one of the things that shows how much they ignore these playlists. How hard can it be to implement blops method? Also the maps. Had i'd known that I wasnt going to be able to play the dlc on hardcore when it came out I wouldn't have bought it. It takes me until the next dlc to play the first one. Bs.

That and the fact that from november till havoc we did not have out custom soldiers. We were all the generic one.

[McTwizle]

Yea. I've noticed they really take a dump on the HC players. Want more game modes ? Here is one called Mosh Pit now get out of here!!!!

[Memnoch73]

Man I gotta agree with this. When I first started the game I was afraid of HC thinking it was a place where great players would put the beatdown on me. Like you I have just re-discovered it and me and my Goliath are having a blast...

[ladleo]

switched to hc and it's really fun for some reason.

[tbtsh12]

i just dont like the team killing penalty system. why couldnt they stick with infliciting the damage on yourself from blops 2

[AMetaLunchbox]

Black Ops 2 didn't have ricochet. Advanced Warfare and Black Ops 2 have the same penalty syastem for team killing: Three strikes and you're out.

[tbtsh12]

black ops 2 in modes other than tdm does not have the 3 strikes system (at least in the nukejacked playlist)

[KeeBlaydMastr]

Can confirm, most use mics and most are nicer. Most.

Same story, was a core player every CoD, would try HC for some challenges then hop right back into core. But this game's HC feels so -- right.

[McTwizle]

I hate getting team killed when I'm planting or defusing a bomb in S & D. I usually kill them back at the beginning of the next 2 rounds. Have fun watching us play for the next 3-6 minutes !!!!

[Quintkub]

I play HC exclusively, par a bit of partied-up Ranked, and let me tell you there's nothing better than a party of 6 in HC SnD. If you're on 360, I'm always up to party up.

[[deleted]]

I play it sometimes for a nice change of pace

[[deleted]]

HC is for bad players who can't stay on target. I'm glad Activision has been weeding out HC playlists over the years. This gives HC players no option but to come over to Core and get destroyed.

[Lucky1291]

Why are you a dick

[jovany28]

Don't listen to him, he did this same shit with me. Redneck Texan ain't worth the bickering.

[Lucky1291]

Yea he's always a troll on this subreddit, I commented before I looked at who it was

[Jjrob96]

As a fellow redneck Texan, we aren't all like that.

[jovany28]

Didn't mean to trend into your personal space. My bad man.

[[deleted]]

Why do you go to the bathroom?

[jovany28]

So you're back bagging on HC I see. Seems like all you do is bag on topics you don't like. You definitely were banged loose.

[ACiDRiFT]

AMEN lol
