Well hopefully people will just vote and leave the discussion in another thread.

I'm not saying it's a bad idea to put anything in this thread - i just want to keep it friendly.

softcore is the game mod that it was made to play

Think a topic such as this warrants discussion (though flaming agreed is not neccesary)

I'm having to go the indecisive route I'm afraid.

Hardcore has grown on me and rather enjoy it a lot of the time... except on some maps with big player counts where it gets damned difficult to move.

Softcore appeals to the 'gung ho' mood in me, when I like a good run about.

Only thing that really pisses me is the lack of options in the server browser for these two types.


EDIT

Seen the dragged off topic 'softcore server' thread already had the discussion for this thread Apolgies for sticking my oar in Troy

Re: The friendly HC or SC poll!

I have a soft spot for tactical CQB games, coming from SWAT4 and R6. I do however only play Softcore. In the same time, I understand the reasons why people prefer HC. I just wish a group of talented folks made a fully functional realism mod for COD4, with a specific theme (SWAT theme, along with multiple choices, a´la SAS, GSG9 and so forth), if that happens, COD4 SC will not see me again.

Re: The friendly HC or SC poll!

so far so good.

by the way chris - nice point. a neat little mod like that certainly would garner my attention.

Re: The friendly HC or SC poll!

I always enjoyed realism, but for this game seemed to be built for softcore mindless killing and fast action (Example: Singleplayer.), so softcore earns my vote.
I'm with chris on this one, I enjoy the aspects of realism games. I've played americas army, operation flashpoint, project reality, and I'll be buying Operation Flashpoint 2 when it comes out..

Re: The friendly HC or SC poll!

Not really picky when it comes down to it. I tend to better in hc then sc, but find sc funner.

Re: The friendly HC or SC poll!

Hm, I don't play public an awful lot and when I do, I enjoy small server SnD SC.

Why? I don't like that sort of gameplay where whoever shoots first wins an engagement.

The only reason I can think of to put HC in the game was to create a feel of reality when playing, but CoD4 doesn't seem the right setting for realistic combat, with tiny maps and wall penetration and all that, an SMG can do the role of an LMG to some extent and can be silenced at the same time.

If I'm looking for realistic MW gameplay, I load the good old BF2 Project Reality :)

Re: The friendly HC or SC poll!

I think HC is horribly unbalanced so I like SC better

I can understand why some like HC better... but it doesn't fit my playing style and nade spam gets much worse on medium populated servers.

Re: The friendly HC or SC poll!

I prefer hardcore.

[L3adcannon]

Re: The friendly HC or SC poll!

Softcore.

Imo, IW made the hardcore without any thought or care, like " **** it, they`ll play whatever we give em". Amping the damage and removing the hud ain`t gonna cut it.
When I first heared of HC mode, I imagined it to be like SWAT or R6- with some actual research put into it

Re: The friendly HC or SC poll!

I prefer and only play Softcore when I am pubbing, and when I am matching, of course using PAM. Hardcore is unbalanced in my opinion as well. A pistol can kill just as good as any other weapon; 1 shot. Realistic... I guess so but at the same time not so much. You don't see people sink a bullet from a pistol in the real world from acrossed the map oh so perfectly, but you can do that in Hardcore. Gets a bit unfair, boring, and..don't take this the wrong way...but a lack of talent. I say that because a lot of people in my clan who can "Own Up" in Hardcore can't move from the bottom of the list in Softcore. But people who "Own Up" in Softcore, I see right at the top of the list in Hardcore and then some.

So, thats why I steer clear, a few clansmen of mine have proven to me that Hardcore doesn't teach you anything about teamwork or how to aim.

**Please don't take this like I am bashing HC players. It's a gametype that many are interested in, just as a leader who is in Competitive Play, I don't see HC as a useful gametype**
