Lol at HC "is for people that aren't good enough at aiming" or whatever reasons they are :rolleyes:

- Yes you kill a lot quicker, but you also die a lot quicker, so you stand the same chance your enemy does and as soft core in some ways, except you don't have like 5 seconds to work out where your being shot from in soft core

- Plus don't you just love it when you shoot people in soft core, they seem to act as a sponge for bullets, takes like 6-10 shots to kill someone, in HC it is far more realistic and only like 3 or so shots to the chest

- And with soft core, the enemy that you are shooting at, just runs away and has his health regen automatically and come around and kill you then

- Oh and not to mention regenerating health for people and vehicles........

- And the worse thing, 3D spotting, emm no thanks, ruins the game that, what is the point if you are just going to have a orange triangle above your head the entire match making it pointless trying to play tactically or sneaking up on a tank or going to capture an enemy flag

- No 3rd person view for vehicles in hardcore

- no little huds to let you know when you need to reload, how much ammo you have left, your health etc. in other words no "hand holding" all the way


So yeah hardcore really is for people that are "crap and have bad aiming" :rolleyes:

If anything, SC is for the people that can't play without the "hand holding" stuff the entire match.

And does aiming really matter, as you are still going to kill someone quicker when shooting them in the head as opposed to the other guy shooting him in the chest or leg or wherever.

EDIT:

And the damage system in HC also means that players have to be more cautious and constantly checking their corners as opposed to just being rambo in SC.

That's why a pistol with the tac light is always my backup gun.

If you fail to kill them with a burst of your main weapon, they see it as an invite to turn around and shoot you = blind and dead :)
 
Surely the IRNV nerf or whatever it is will only stop the long pops at people... dosent it still work as is close up? So hiding in a bush by a flag (ie 'insert any abusive swear word) will still not work?

I for one will miss the gun tbh, call me a noob but I only found it about 2/3 3weeks ago if that and it makes the game more fun... I dont have time to piddle around and play Sargeant Major, im in for 2-3 rounds.. want to kill as many as I can, then turn it off. I cant be bothered to customise my outfit for each map type, or gun, or workout whats the best package, or learn how to fly etc - login, frag and leave.

I have to say I don't find regenerating health a problem. People's health won't regenerate if you kill them first time round and don't give them chance to run off and regenerate. Likewise vehicle health won't regenerate if you take it past 50 % which I never seem to have trouble doing

And as for 3D spotting, I manage to sneak up on tanks and plant c4 just fine.

It really is a personal preference.

Wondering what the flashlight and irnv nerfs are going to be like??

HC or old school 'realism' imo is for those that like to kill with one shot, two maximum. There is no getting away from it no matter how much you big it up. I dont like it, for me it tries to be something it isn't and ends up being a wishy-washy substitute for a true HC realism game. If I wanted this play i'd play ARMA.
Never liked it in the MOHAA days all it did was promote camping and took away the arcade quakeyness of an fps. In short yes I think HC isnt HC at all but a way for players to camp and pick others off without being spotted, if this is your thing im happy for you, its not for me.
 
New chatbox layout due in update tomorrow.

I love the flashlight - I chill out drinking tea then when i see flashlight wondering along I shoot it
 
Wonder if the 2Gb patch fixes the crashing I get after 10 mins no matter what as no mention of major bug fixes for that instability so I cannot even play the game since getting it as a gift with an Intel SSD :rolleyes: At least I did not have to pay for it!!!

Hope they are very good and then we will see how they play :)
 
good thing inrv is getting nerfed imho.
HC is ok but there are comedy lodouts like sniping shotguns that work far better than actual sniper rifles.
Also not 100% but think soflam is getting tracking boost which is good as more people need to use it
 
are there any beginner servers out there?

im close to throwing the game in the bin between getting one shotted by level 45 no lifers/no jobbers and the spawn campers and hackers :mad:
