Ever since Call of Duty Modern Warfare II was released last year, loyal fans have endlessly asked for a Hardcore Mode. That’s because it was notably absent from the blockbuster title at launch. However, developer Infinity Ward recently revealed that Hardcore will finally make its debut when Season 2 comes out next month.
Interestingly, the update regarding Hardcore’s arrival was shared just a few days after Infinity Ward dropped several details about Season 2, including Resurgence’s comeback in Warzone 2 and Ranked Play for Multiplayer among other crucial things. One can say that the devs are now actually trying to deliver what the players really want in Modern Warfare II. While all the upcoming changes are welcome, it’s the return of Hardcore Mode which will definitely make the biggest difference, in keeping the Multiplayer setup relevant.

While it remains to be seen how MWII’s Hardcore mode will look like, one thing is certain it will be amazing, to say the least. There’s a reason as well for such a possible outcome. Traditionally, HC modes in various CoD installments have been well-received by the players. Due to the absence of unwanted HUD and increased intensity of action, it ends up being quite addictive.
Speaking regarding Call of Duty Modern Warfare II’s Multiplayer experience, then the Hardcore mode will boost its popularity tenfold. So far, there’s been nothing significant released for this setup of the latest game, compared to Warzone 2 and DMZ. Many players have expressed their concern for MP’s irrelevancy since the launch of Activision’s record-breaking hit title in 2022.
With Season 2, however, those who are craving to jump into the Hardcore matches will be able to witness something fresh in the Multiplayer. Technically it can be called added content, but HC is something that should have been made available with the game’s initial release.

Meanwhile, it seems like many of the players and gaming enthusiasts are eager for the awaited mode’s release in MWII. They are looking forward to witnessing it inside Season 2 when it makes its way on February 15th, 2023. Here are some of the best reactions from Twitter:

I'm curious if Hardcore is going to replace Tier 1 or if it'll be an additional playlist added to the menu. Either way, Hardcore is where I will live. Thanks for being this back, but it should have never been gone in the first place.
