Where is Modern Warfare 2 hardcore mode?
If you want to know how to play hardcore in Modern Warfare 2, you’re out of luck for now. The hardcore mode isn’t available at launch but Infinity Ward has confirmed that it will be added at a later date. There are still plenty of other multiplayer modes available such as Team Deathmatch, Kill Confirmed, and Hardpoint but if you’re after the extra challenge that Hardcore offers, you’ll need to wait a while longer.
To make things slightly more confusing, Hardcore has been renamed to Tier 1 in Modern Warfare 2, so you’ll need to keep an eye out for the newer name whenever future updates roll out.
