ermm... wow. just wow. lol. you're argument is based on the assumption that a larger percentage of the core community has different personalities than than the HC community?... just wow.

the reason you see less "whining" from the HC community isn't because they're more mature or can handle bullcrap better, it's because HC is a totally different game and the HC comm is MUCH smaller...

Weapon balance is less of an issue especially in HC because when weapons do more damage, a lot of weapons are on the same level, hence, balance.

Many AR's that are 4 shot kills turn into 3 shot kills, and AR's that were 3sks are still 3sks, and so on and so forth. and with people dying faster because of more damage per hit, lag comp issues seemingly fade into the background, at least for me and many of my friends.

however I'm still a core player because I don't like not having HUD
