After a disappointing reception to Tier-1, Infinity Ward are finally bending the knee to CoD fans. A proper, traditional Hardcore Mode will be released soon for Modern Warfare 2.
Modern Warfare Season 2 is just around the corner, and we might finally be getting a Hardcore Mode. Yep, after widespread rejection of Infinity Ward's Tier-1 mode, the devs have finally buckled under public pressure. Rejoice!
A Proper Hardcore Mode Is Coming To Modern Warfare 2
As Infinity Ward recently announced, they will be introducing a traditional Hardcore mode into Modern Warfare 2 when Season 2 launches on February 15. They originally tried to replace Hardcore mode with something called "Tier-1" (which has the same very low health from Hardcore but adds realism elements like no HUD), however, fans hated Tier-1, so they're just giving us back the traditional Hardcore mode.
As Infinity Ward themselves announced:
No HUD? No problem. Hardcore is back! Follow Season 02's Multiplayer updates in our studio blog later this week.
