Oh man, tell me you did not just make another one of these threads.

Regular is my vote (and yes, I emphasize regular for a reason.) *Leaves before flamewar.

Re: Hardcore? or Non

If everyone leaves it as voting what they prefer, everything should be OK.

Yeah, like that will happen.

I voted softcore because there are a TON of hardcore servers.

Re: Hardcore? or Non

Hardcore is the fail.

REGULAR is for the win.

Go check out Key's video in the media section if you want my view on HC.

Softcore, it's balanced.

IW balanced the game for softcore, hardcore seems like something added towards the end of development that they didn't have time to balance. It seems far too apparent when you don't consider the damages of weapons when choosing a gun, and only think about the RoF and recoil.

Re: Hardcore? or Non

My opinions changed from last time where I switched regularlly betwen the two.

Now, softcore FTW!

IW designed the game around "Softcore" (regular) mode, including weapon/perk balance.

Hardcore is simply a "realism" mod built directly into the game. Many people enjoyed playing realism mods on previous WWII games like MOH and COD/CODUO/COD2, so IW decided to include Hardcore mode right in the box, so that those fans of the game could play it right away without having to wait for modders.

That's the scoop right from IW during one of the community events. So if people never played realism mods back in the day on previous COD's, then it's likely that Hardcore mode is not for them.

But isnt not more realistic than SC

Re: Hardcore? or Non

But isnt not more realistic than SC

Hardcore isn't perfectly realistic, no...but in several ways it is more realistic than SC (lower health to simulate higher damage from bullets/falls, no crosshairs when shooting from the hip, no ammo indicators, no constant radar, no automatic warnings of incoming choppers/airstrikes...and as much as I hate the camping which is more often seen in HC, hunkering down (whether from fear or tactics) from a covered position to shoot at the enemy is more true-to-life than the run & gun style seen more often in SC).

That's all that many "realism" mods did back in the day - higher bullet damage and fewer HUD elements. It could be better/they could go further, but it is closer (even if just a bit) to actual combat than SC.

^^Dying from a USP shot in your leg is just as unrealistic as not dying from one to your head.
