modern warfare 2 hardcore mode

If you’re looking for a hardcore mode in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and can’t find one, it’s not just you, and it’s not because of the messy UI, either. Apparently, the Modern Warfare 2 hardcore mode, which Infinity Ward calls “Tier 1” has been pulled entirely and it’s due to technical issues.

This was announced by Infinity Ward themselves when the official Modern Warfare 2 Trello board was launched, though the listing of it has since been pulled alongside with a relaunch of the Trello board making it un-editable after numerous individuals started listing their own gripes with the game. According to the Trello board, the Modern Warfare 2 hardcore mode was causing “crash issues.”

As for the rest of the known issues listed in the official MW2 Trello board, head on below (list accurate as of November 1, 2022).
