I play CoD 4 for the lolz and for competition, only on HC/Pam4. Really can not stand SC or Pro-mod of that matter...Softcore just grates me, the constant map, nade icons and the insane amount of rounds it takes to down someone.
Hardcore can be plagued with Campers but that's part of the game, I camp and I rush and I can deal with both of those types of players - I don't disrespect people that play soft or pro-mod, it's a different skill set too what is used in HC.
I usually roll with a Silenced M14 with Bando/UaV/Extreme con or R700 Bando/SoH/DI both with 1911's, and top the server on a regular basis...Both those classes fail when I go onto Soft servers.
Just recently had my HD die so having to start again

Couldn't recover my Profile as it was on the damaged sector *cries* - Had completed all challenges and the record sheet was impressive
And to the Cock-knockers that brag about RPG Team Killing at spawn - Go fornicate with a rabid dog please.
