For those not up to speed, Hardcore has been part of the CoD experience for years, beloved by a community of players who enjoy its more competitive multiplayer experience. There’s a more limited head-up display; a faster time to kill, and friendly fire is switched on.
For whatever reason, Infinity Ward removed the mode from MW2 at launch, replacing it instead with Tier 1, a mode that was essentially a rebrand of the Realism game mode. It failed to strike a chord with fans of Hardcore, though, many of whom disliked its hitmakers, kill feed, and complete lack of HUD.
Precise details on what to expect from this re-jigged Hardcore mode in Season 2 will have to wait until Infinity Ward’s in-depth blog publishes later this week. Until then, you can check out everything we know about MW2 and Warzone 2 Season 2 in our detailed article here.
