Why do they hate Hardcore so much?

[Gothardsback1]

You refuse to make all game types for Hardcore...... Why can I not play Hardcore Demolition? Why is there only 1 Hardcore team challenge every month? I paid for this game just the same as every other person. Wasted money on Elite just like every other person. It was once an option for Black Ops 1 , but it was taken away after a month. Everyone I know would play it .

Because the amount of people who play HC vs Core is to low. Also usually they can only fit so many gamemodes (types) into a game so in order to put in HC demo or something they would have to take out ffa/tdm etc  and then everyone would complain about that.

Its low because they show it no love.

Actually... the number of HC players in BO2 as a percentage has increased.

It's been consistently between 20-30% of all players playing at one time...

... I've seen it as high as ~45% just a couple of weeks ago.

@DavidVonderhaar 161k playing core. 73k playing HC. That's not a minority. #MOARhardcore. #BlackOps2 http://pic.twitter.com/8vxO53Ka

I've been trying to say this for months.  Plus if more game modes were available I'm sure more people would play HC.

Well done for providing a pic as evidence

Ya I've noticed an increase in the HC numbers too! Just imagine if we had Dom!

HC should have had these playlists at launch:

* TDM

* KC

* DOM

* SnD

* CTF

* Hardpoint

* FFA

That's only three more playlists but they limited it to 4... with 20 for core. Kinda silly.

Because I can use my pistol as a better sniper than an actual sniper

I guess it's not popular with the target demographic.  Squeakers.

Elite is free.
