Hardcore put me off because it was ... hardcore. I tot it sort of only implies that only 'pro' should join HC servers.
I was like playing in the std deathmatch servers and it got boring real fast.
Now HC servers is what's keeping me going back. I am not a stats person (some will say becos I suck, but I don't care. ) so I don't bother changing weapons just to complete the challenges. It's the dynamic of the game that is fun, and the realism is optimum. not as punishing as America's Army but more realistic (hence fun) than BF or games where it takes 2-3 headshots to kill.
