Man I wish that once I could post in here and it was just a simple one or the other answer, but once again my views are mixed.
See I like Hardcore for Search and Destroy, I agree it's more realistic and you get a lot better at the game playing it.
I love a bit of Hardcore TD, but from time to time, I get sick of people camping out. In Search and Destroy you expect camping, it's sort of a camping game, but in Team Deathmatch, you want to get out and run about and get some kills in and then you get someone sat behind a barrel probably only for them to get 1 kill a minute! Fek me you don't die in real life, get out a bit!
Core I love a bit of HQ and Sabotage now and then and you don't get many campers in there, it's all run in guns blazing - yeeehaaa!
So yeah, there's another mixed opinion from me.
