Modern Warfare 2 Hardcore
Modern Warfare 2 is looking to do something a little different with hardcore in the new game, and the mode has been renamed to Tier 1. Hardcore has often seen like a footnote on the main game in previous Call of Duty titles, so with a slightly delayed launch expect more content.
Hardcore has been confirmed to be arriving very shortly in the new Call of Duty, so fans will not have to wait long.
Until then if you're a fan of hardcore, make sure you take the chance to level up yourself and your guns so you have the best shot when the mode releases.
