    Re: Petition to bring back Hardcore Team Tactical

    True, it does need to be totally random to be a relevant sample. You should also take more than one sample. Much much more than one sample if you really want to do it right. Regardless, I have both calculated myself and seen numerous other posts of people posting stats about the number of players in HC. It always seems to end up around 20%.

     

    I find it ironic that whizkid tried to invalidate my post with stats which actually make it all the more reasonable why they didnt just add game modes to the advanced playlist, and instead removed a mode to make room. A mode which had had on any given day just as many or more players as many core game modes.

     

    Look, Im all for MOARhardcore game modes, but Im basically saying that the reason they removed it is because it was unpopular, and they wanted the space.

    If this was aimed at me; I was merely stating my opinion.

    There is no need for all the hostility.

     

    I'm sorry you didn't like my data sample. I assure you it is just one sample of several taken from several times of day, and all being tallied to a larger more accurate average. I intend to collect this data over the next 14 days, several times a day to paint this picture.

     

    I'm not really sure how you could interpret the sample data to be in favor of removing that specific game type, especially given the example comparing activity to core sabotage. How could you have read that and came to the conclusion that hardcore team tac is less popular than core sabatoge? 3% of our gamer base playing that vs. 0.4% of your base playing core sobotage? Generally if a group of higher attendance deems something popular, you could assume larger numbers of that group would participate.

     

    Deadliestllama, there was no intent to prove you wrong, but just the intent for me to really understand their methodology, which so far I can't find rhyme or reason to. Also my nod to you're 20% wasn't a jab in anyway. I was honestly impressed you pulled 20% off the top of your head and how close it was to what the sample ACTUALLY reflected. The hats off to you was genuine, so relax.

    To those of you saying to leave it out,  Did you even play HCTT?  if not then whats your problem with it?  I dont  understand why you would say that,  if you dont like the game mode dont play it!!!  My clan has now went back to blops because they took HCTT off MW3.  so to us it is very important for them to bring it back.

    Nah. I dont need more spam in my inbox. I hope that Whizkid can forgive me for mispelling his name.

     

    If that was his intention, which Ill take your word that you can read minds and know exactly what he means, then he missed MY point, which was that you cant compare the "advanced" playlist with the "core" playlist. They treat "core" differently than "advanced", and supposedly you cannot easily move slots from core to advanced or vice versa, thus the shift in the definition of what is unpopular vs popular from core to advanced. Also, the standard argument from the stealth clown for why they cant just add modes to HC? "It would dilute the player pool, make matchmaking times longer, and result in a lower quality match."
