Two more levels (19) and I can get back to Hardcore Team Deathmatch and [relatively] away from the juveniles. I often find myself quitting sessions immediately after the point tally just to get away from them.

Ya you've gotta go through hell before you get to play the good stuff. I'm the same; gimme those points

HTD was about all I'd ever play in CoD4 and WaW. I unlocked Hardcore last week in MW2 and it wasn't pretty. Definitely seems harder than before but it's probably just me.

I wish they just got rid of the HUD and didn't up the damage in HC mode, it makes it too easy for people who can't aim to throw on stopping power and get a lucky bullet in your toe. That is the main reason why I refuse to play it.

I just want to get up in level so I can play hardcore mode. You get very few morons playing that mode.

It's a toss up. You can play in core against bunny hoppers and kids who need to be muted or in hardcore against people who sit in one spot the entire match and then spray a whole mag trying to get the golden bb.

I'll take the camper.

my first time playing MP none COOP last night with Coot and didn't have any kids, although we did have one noobtube and boy did he piss off one guy lol. He loaded up with a vengeance to put a hurting on him....

Actually, no guarantees on that. I played Hardcore the other day with a handful of Brits and they spent the entire match making up gay jokes and gay poems. Yes, POEMS. And, of course, the required jokes about shagging one's Mum.

I could only stand so much and then I had to quit.

But, I'll say this. Those guys were GOOD. I got pwned badly.

When I play with headphones unplugged, it redirects voice comms to speakers regardless of my setting it to headphones only. In most games, I'd just start a party by myself. Changing comms to friends only works well, but you shouldn't have to log out and back in to do that, I wish they would do something about that.

Played a private room last night for a couple of hours, 18 people. It's nice that the larger maps support this well in this game. Tweaked game types make the game a lot more enjoyable too. No respawn and limited respawns in hardcore mode slow the game down nicely. TDM is actually fun when you only have 2-3 lives.
