Hardcore vs. Softcore

[Babymax]

Although I appreciate the skill needed by removing the enemy appearing on the HUD and crosshair, I don't like the speed (err, rather lack of it) of HC. The flow of games is slower and seems to be more about who can camp or hide better rather than who has quicker reflexes, better aim (in HC, you get hit once or twice you're pretty much dead), movement, etc. Ah well, to each their own.

For small servers, Hardcore. It's so much fun sneaking around as a small group and there's actually teamwork for once

For larger servers (16+) , I prefer softcore cause with hardcore it just turns into campers heaven.

Also my playing style isn't very suitable for hardcore :p I like going kamikaze sometimes and just blast through the map with the W1200 shotgun - that's a no go in hardcore (you'll get raped at a distance).

Although I almost wish softcore had no crosshairs. I aim better without them.

i think Hardcore is cheap personally, i can just see it being a spray your LMG fest.

You would be amazed if i told how many LMGs i came across in Hardcore...

That is in....less then ARs and SMGs

[The_Eliminator]

i might be surprised yes, i have not played much HC mainly due to the fact i dont want to play it then lose my touch in softcore.

I find Hardcore way too easy...sprayed through two walls only to be shot in the foot and die....not my cup of tea....one shot kill no matter where you hit them...way too easy...

There is a reason why all the comps are not hardcore...the easy factor...

Softcore.
I find regular a lot harder and challenging.
Last time I played HC I got a highscore without even trying.

I'm learning that folks who call others n00bs are just dying for attention.

Says the drama queen with the 'sigh' thread :laugh:

Softcore

Matches are not in hardcore (unless you are in TWL), so there is no point practicing instant kills.

Plus, there seems to be a LOT of complaining on hardcore servers about running, jumping, shooting while moving, etc. Jesus what the hell?

I don't understand everyone's beef with Hardcore. Every HC server I've played on today was filled with people holding 1:1 ratios, and perhaps two or three players with ratios over 2:1.

I just finished playing another HC round and I easily had the best ratio with 31-5. The next best was 42-26 or something along those lines. If you know how to play, it doesn't matter that a bunch of tools run around throwing nades and using LMGs.

Smarten up and you'll do fine, for f*ck's sake.

I'm starting to think they're just complaining because adapting to that style of gameplay is too hard. Waaaaaahhh... waaaaaah.
