Hardcore or Regular?

[Khronic]

I prefer hardcore on certain things like kill confirmed. This is because it's waaay to easy to accumulate score streaks in regular kill confirmed and I think that hardcore balances this out. I don't like playing hardcore team deathmatch because there are many people who team kill and that really grinds my gears. For capture the flag and search and destroy, it's hardcore all the way. It makes UAVs more valuable, and other non-lethal score streaks more lethal.

I have the same problem with any shooter multiplayer mode that doesn't have a kill cam. Though it's comparing apples and oranges, I had this problem with Battelfield 3. Not getting to see how you were killed means being thoroughly handicapped in learning from your mistakes. You don't always know if you were killed by a sniper taking advantage of an obvious position, a rogue bullet, random of camera splash damage from a vehicle, etc. You just run and die, 9 out of 10 times having little idea WHY you died. CoD has this mechanic right and other shooters really need to follow suit.

Haha yeah, same here. In Battlefield I hated the way you'd just WATCH an enemy walk around.. And not see how he killed you, just where he is. Also the long waiting times to spawn, but that's a different issue haha (keeps the spawning balanced)
It seems the killcam is the one thing COD has over Battlefield in my opinion.

I usually have a hard time switching to hardcore because I always play softcore. But I do get the same thing when switching back and forth.. takes me 1-2 games to get warmed up and actually play decent. I don't like hardcore as much because people camp more for obvious reasons... and I also just love running out into the action, which smart hardcore players don't do.. and with softcore I can take a few more bullets and usually get a few kills before I die lol.

Same as you. In MW2 (the game where I first ever tried Hardcore), it was so weird because I killed them in like 2 bullets. Then, when I went back to Core, I felt that it took 30 bullets to kill someone

I always prefer to play on Regular in any Call of Duty game simply because I feel that I can enjoy the game much more when I'm not constantly dying and getting all frustrated by getting killed in the same place over and over again. On the second play through the campaign mode I usually up the difficulty to make things more interesting and challenging but I prefer to play on normal for the first run so I can really appreciate what's going on and the story line as a whole. Things flow a lot better when you get through a mission without having to die 30 times.
