I decided that it was time to go Hardcore last night. I was waiting to learn the maps a little better before taking the dive.
This is where I belong. Players using a little more strategy and for us older players it is a little slower pace. (After a crazy day at work, I don’t want a crazy night online.)
Since my motion sensor did not work without pulling up the large map. I dropped it for the camera spike. Wow; That was fun, especially on Jungle where I put it up on the catwalk that overlooks the small village huts.
In MW2 I constantly pulled up my large map for a split second and once I get more “in tune” with these new maps I will probably start that again. Then I might put my motion sensor back in my equipment slot.
Overall I’m really enjoying this game. I like what it brought new to the table. You can easily tell who is better at playing. A friend from work is basically the same level as me with a little less playing time and he is Pro in several Perks now and is a little more successful in completing contracts. I give it to him as being a better gamer than me and it shows here. I struggle when I’m force to play in a different style than I like, which means I struggle when it comes to acquiring Pro Perks and contracts. (Btw, I don’t have to be the best to have fun.) In previous COD games it pretty much just came down to who had the most kills! (Which by default means who has more hours playing?)
