Hard Core or Not Hard Core

[Ashen]

Which mode to you prefer to play and why?

[Ashen]

I will say HC with trepidation because in HC you don't always get the full benefit of your perks. However I find I get a lot more registered headshots. Since I'm not big on the grenade launcher, sniper camping, or fully-automatic spraying, I feel this evens the playing field.
True, it is silly to kill someone by shooting them in the foot or hitting them in the face with a flashbang (although funny), I often find myself placing higher, dying less, killing more, and that tends to equal more fun.

Regular.

M14 headshot is a kill no matter if it's HC or not, spraying from sniper distance with M4 is less likely to one shot you.

Definitely regular because it's way too easy to be a noob in hc. I think hc is easier than regular actually. If you can be patient and just camp you'll get a lot of kills, especially if kill cam is off. I only play hc when I'm trying to get head shots for all my weapons.

unfortunately hardcore=easy mode, the only hard thing about it is no map, so you never know if the footsteps around you are friend or foe, but thats ok, they don't know either. It is so easy to kill people in HC, it turns into a camp fest where nobody wants to move. I get bored playing Easy Core.

[Ashen]

That is one part I do hate is the campfest.. Like clam said it's easier to get headhsots, but I have been finding some normal servers lately that are fun and not full of nade/tube spam.
My problem with S&D is that it becomes a camp fest for both teams. The offense doesn't want to accomplish the mission because they don't want to die and the defense does what they're supposed to do -protect the target. So it comes down to whoever moves first get's sniped. Maybe I'm to johnny rambo. I do like sabotage a lot though.

Ashen, the best SnD servers are the ones with the Pam mod. It the mod used for scrims. Perk 1 is limited to bandolier only, perk 2 is stopping power, and perk 3 has deep impact and steady breath for snipers. You only get one frag nade, a flash or smoke and not stun, and there are no noob tubes. There are some servers out that run it. You'll like SnD a lot more.

[Ashen]

Cool, I'll have to look for that. Sounds like a good one and I think I have PAM dl'd from the time we ran it on bbf.

HC only for me and my clan, we have several servers and i believe all but possibly one are HC

in my opinion HC is the only way to play, prolly had somthing to do with my lov for th PR mod from bf2. guns are deadlier, no radar so keeps you more alert, must use communication...and you cant walk into a hailstorm of bullets and come out ontop

many of the pple i play with play hc only so when we go to reg servers...some of us just own but thers also that littl surprise factor, meaning i just got done at a reg server and literally stoped playing for a fw second aftr i absorbed half a clip of saaw ammo cuz i thought i was dead...in HC i woulda been

also, in the pam mod, the ACOG scope has no drift, so it is much better and u can actually use it
