FORUMS_

What are you talking about?  No they don't.  All clan ops have and been core and HC specific.  It was like it in MW3 and is like it in BO2.  As far as clan challenges go.  HC and core didn't matter in mw3.  In BO2 it does matter.  Idk how you think other wise.  Especially when the titles of all the challenges start with the word "CORE".  Meaning you have to be in core for it to count. much like the way the clan ops have always been ran.  Idk where you get your info or if you ever even done a clan challenge or clan ops but you might want to dbl check your source again.

O i don't play HC because i think Core isn't easy. quite the opposite. I find that HC takes more skill to be good. You need to have better surrounding awareness. faster reflexes and you cant run and hide till you regen if your hit. Also no perma red dots on a map to chase and play pacman with.

But you are wrong about HC only being 20-25%.  Go check out the HC and Core playlist some time.  Vast majority of the time HC sits at about 1/3 of the population, some times more sometimes less but on avg about 1/3.  This doesn't take into consideration all the HC players that have moved to Core so they can play nuketown or one of their fav game modes.  Since there are 20 core game modes and only 4 HC game modes. A lot of HC players have moved to play other things.  Nuketown being a big one.  It was promised to all of us but not all of us have the option to play it.  Much like league.  It was a huge selling point.  But its all meaningless to a HC players.  Sure we could go play core but most HC players want to no part of core and makes all core things meaningless as a viable choice selection.

Ok, first just look at the numbers that play online. its roughly about 1/3.  ATM online its less but its early in the day.  Secondly this doesn't even consider the amount of HC players playing Core do to the lack of playlist or lack of league and nuketown.  So the numbers are skewed in BO2.  Look at mw3 and BO. HC had much larger selections of game modes and the number of HC players was much larger.  Ppl weren't so limited as they are now.  Thirdly. ill try to find the post but a dev even acknowledge that hc makes up about 1/3 of the games population.  That's why 2 out of 3 clan ops was core but 1 out of 3 was HC.  It was a thread about HC wanting more clan ops and a dev had given that as a reason why things are the way they are.

I'm sorry but you may need help with your reading and comprehension skills.  No offense.  its mumbo jumbo because you don't understand what your reading. Please don't confuse your inability to understand what is written.  with somebody else's ability to explain.  The only comparing of mw3 was in ref to clan challenges. More specifically in ref to HC/core specific clan challenges.  In mw3 it didn't matter if it was a core or hc game mode that you did the challenge in.  That worked good for both HC and core players.  Both sides were happy so why change that and start making things core and HC specific.  Then offer no HC clan challenges. This to me is foolish and only further hurts your consumer base.

How is it laughable that kids and youtubers don't make up the majority of players?  First Kids are, but should even be on this game because of the mature ratings and inability to actually buy something themselves. So they really cant be counted. besides there are far few of them then there are ppl 18+ so they again cant be considered the majority.  Same as youtubers.  How many youtubers are there in compared to the amount of ppl that actually play the game?  1 in 20? 1 in 50?  1 in 100?  Youtubers hardly compare to the vast number of ppl that play the game and give sticks about somebody's montage.  To think other wise would be sad but laughable.

Lastly to your last statement.  We aren't the minority. that's the problems.  Sure there are more core players but when you look at all the different groups.  we are far from minority.  check out league playlist. far fewer of them then us.  Check out party games. again, far fewer of them. youtubers,  far less ppl posting stupid montages then there are ppl that actually play the game.  Being as you have to be 17+ to buy the game. There are far more adults then children. not to mention just going from lobby to lobby and get a count.  way more adults then children.  So HC players aren't the minority. We just aren't the majority either.
