Call of Duty is bringing the $70 game to Steam



Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2’s hyper-intense hardcore mode is set to stage a return in the game’s upcoming season 2 update, scheduled for February 15. In a tweet posted yesterday, Infinity Ward confirmed the return of the much-missed mode in a sparse tweet, announcing “No HUD? No problem. Hardcore is back!” before encouraging players to keep an eye on the studio’s blog (opens in new tab) for more season 2 details in the future.

Hardcore mode is exactly what it sounds like: A variant of Modern Warfare’s multiplayer that cuts out all that namby-pamby nonsense like ‘a HUD’ and makes bullets act like bullets—killing your enemies and friends stone-dead with only a shot or two. It’s certainly not for everyone, but it’s irreplaceable for players who like to live an inch from death at all times. It’s been a staple of the series for some time now, but it wasn’t included when MW2 released last October.
