hardcore is a piece of shit becuse everyone goes recon and just snipe your ass. Only noobs who doesn't know how to play the game :] I play recon on hardcore alot, mostly because I think Hardcore is better in EVERY game, but also because I think it gives alot more advantages to the people who plays tactical. I'm on teamspeak with a friend, and I can sit in a tower and spot people for him, telling him where the enemies are, where they are more likely to spawn etc. If I have to, I shoot people aswell, but I love the feeling when you could've killed someone, but just let him pass >:]
