Thoughts On Hardcore Servers

[Kingkat54]

While I am not sure that it takes less skill to kill, it does present the question of gameplay vs. realism.
Its like a sliding scale. Too much gameplay, and it becomes an arcade shooter. Too much realism, and its impossible to play. Realistic=1 death, game over.
The blend is very tricky. I think HardCore is getting there. With just a few more additives................a few more choices.

:laugh: I can see it now, the first "realistic" shooter. You load the game up, create your character, log on, join a server, die and the game deletes your profile.

I honestly cannot see why people even like the normal. I read someone say that they have to count their shots and be accurate. Well if thats tactical for you. Then go ahead. But if this were real life (AND I KNOW IT ISNT DONT BASH ME..) you get shot once and hey!! YOU'RE SCREWED!! Because if I were getting shot and and I took 3 to the chest, I wouldn't be shooting you back.

One-shot deaths make for boring gameplay.

And gameplay>realism.

It's all a matter of opinion. Some people like realistic shooters, some prefer arcade-style. Fortunately the devs thought to provide us with both :)

LOL.........Hinduism Perk. THAT is funny.
Or AgnosticPerk.
All Suited Up..........NoWhere To Go.

Between........TSlaw[42SRT] and =)BiT(=AutoFodder there seems to be a happy medium. HardCore gets back to a real original FPS, long time ago, about 2001, one-shot-one-kill. Besides, its nice to have a sidearm that can actually drop an opponent w/o emptying the clip.
Just wish HC Servers could be identified easier.
Are you listening.......IW........?

Now that I can agree with

Another thing I find unique in HardCore.................how every now and then it gets very, quiet. I mean no one is moving, shooting or anything. Very eerie.
Unlike regular games.

And it's usually broken by the soft pitter patter of a nearby silenced P90.

That or cursing on TS because someone just got knifed.
