Everyone knows I'm a conservative/campy player. I hardly EVER light it up in a room b/c I never rush. The good thing about it though is that my routes and play style are unchanged in wars so I usually do pretty well either way. My record on hardcore was in Strike with 18 kills 4 deaths (we won 4 -2) and only 1 nade kill.
Last night something cool happened. I was the last guy left on Strike. I had an M4 BS-ST-DS and no silenced pistol. I was able to smoke the middle, run back and pick up the bomb and eventually kill all 5 guys with all rifle (using a UAV for the last 2) to win. I had an airstrike and called it in, it killed 4 people. I ran up to the basement by their spawn and killed the last 2 guys to win the map 4-0. 11 straight kills! It was awesome! Very different for me! This is n't bragging, just thought I'd share. Most of it was luck.
Souljuh always gets a rediculous amount of kills in hardcore. Sometimes I like to run and gun with him to support him but most of the time I like to keep practicing my style to learn. It was different for me an a lot of fun. I've killed 5 guys to win a match before with a silenced rifle but that is MUCH easier than running loud.
This game rarely gets old for me.
