The friendly HC or SC poll!

Re: The friendly HC or SC poll!

As for the poll question: I have no preference. I enjoy both modes, depending on my mood.

Imo, IW made the hardcore without any thought or care, like " **** it, they`ll play whatever we give em".

Once again, HC mode is simply based on "realism" mods that the community made for previous COD's (and other games like MOH). Not everyone liked these mods, of course, but they were popular enough that IW decided to include it as a mode in COD4, so that those folks could start playing right away and not have to wait for someone to mod it in again. That's the scoop right from IW at the Community Day they had last summer. People who didn't like playing realism mods should probably steer clear of HC.

Re: The friendly HC or SC poll!

hardcore =p

used to hate it and somewhat agree with pattons point that its harder to get up the score board on soft core but in all seriousness that is not as hard as on other fpss so...

the thing that clinched it though was finding a really good server with a good community that was hardcore. I think everyone will agree its better to play in a 'nice' environment.

QFT! Environment is important. I didnt like HC at first either, but playing with some friends made it more enjoyable. I still play both, but most of them are HC only, so I tend to play HC more.

Speaking of which HC is gaining a bit on SC. I should have voted HC instead of No Preference, but then I would have been lying ;D

Hardcore

Because you need 2 bullets of a .50 cal to the head to die in Softcore.

Re: The friendly HC or SC poll!

The poll results so far are about in-line with what I expected...

about 1/2 of the people prefer SC
about 1/3 prefer HC
and the remaining 1/6 bounce back and forth between the two.

Re: The friendly HC or SC poll!

No preference, just whatever I feel like.

Re: The friendly HC or SC poll!

I actually don't care at all between the two. They are both enjoyable.

Stephen, love your avatar.

Poor guy just wants to eat a sandwich.

As for the two .50 cal to the head, I havent had that problem. I think some pistol shots require two to the head.

Base damage of 70 multiplied by a head modifier of 1.5 gives a damage of 105, the enemy will die unless they have juggernaut and you do not have stopping power. Which is your choice and which is the beauty of softcore, the balance.

What's with all these exaggerations of needing far more rounds than what is required to kill an opponent?

Even the full magazine so many of the hardcore players whine about needing to kill one person is very over exaggerated, four rounds max from an assault rifle are needed to kill somebody (excluding the bugged AK47 with reflex sight and suppressor). Even the weapon that does the least possible damage per round (pistol) can down somebody (without juggernaut) with five shots maximum if you do not hit the the head modifier (there are no other modifiers for the pistol, pistol head modifier is 1.4x).

The shotgun actually does the least damage per "round", but fires eight "rounds" per shell.
