"friendlys constantly take out your equipment" dude, why the F do they do this!!

TBH, there are WAY more 10 year olds in core. I play hc snd, and there are 90% men with like 2% squeakers where in core it's 50-50.

By your argument, you think that HALO takes the MOST skill? Apparently it does. You have to aim longer than 30 seconds to get a kill in halo. Well, according to him it does.

HC FOREVER!!! The people who play core complain about HC because they can just go around a corner, post up, regenerate their health and shoot you, as if though getting shot in the back doesn't kill you. Also, they complain about not having the mini map up to navigate the map and find people. As if though the soldiers in the battlefield can just glance up and to the left and have a map/compas/enemy locator. If that was the case, Bin Laden would have been found a long time ago. HC takes quick reaction times and a firm knowledge of the maps and how to play them without relying on the minimap. How many of you can't navigate the maps without the minimap?

Definitely. Just think, if they integrated the new maps as the come out into the regular playlists, then they wouldn't have to have the elite playlists, and instead they could put in new game modes for hardcore.

Last time I checked, HC didn't have kill cams, forcing you to be a better player and check your corners. If you get owned by a camper, it's all your fault and only your fault, not the campers. If you get owned by the same camper more than once, then again, it's all your fault and only your fault, not the campers.

Last time I checked, you had to be able to aim and have quick reflexes so that you can shoot your enemy before they shoot you, so yeah, you do have to be able to aim, but then there's that added complication of having quick reflexes. In core, you can have the slowest reflexes on the planet and still get a kill going head to head with someone because it takes half a clip for the other person to shoot you.

Last time I checked, tubes and rockets killed in one shot in real life, so why not in the game? Oh, is it too realistic for you? Too bad, get over it.

And finally, the last time I checked, noobs could only play core to start out with, so by the time a noob unlocks the ability to play in HC, they're stuck on relying on the HUD in core mode that they have a very difficult time trying to adjust to not having the HUD, and so playing HC becomes a disheartening task, and they migrate back to core because they can't hack it. Not only that, but the core playlists have far more people in them, so chances are that the core population is made up of more whiny 10 year olds than the HC playlists, so I'm guessing that you have to put up with far more whiny 10 year old noobs than I do.
