self imposed hardcore game mode

Dude, seriously, it was 1997. You were still a number of years off from that sort of total free-form play and physics modeling.

Has it been that long?

Guess I expect too much with games

[RTHolmes]

does flying EW/MW aircraft in the LWA count? plenty of the more experienced AH sticks do this.


N64 Goldeneye has got to go into the games hall of fame, its certainly in my top 3 we used to see how far we could get without losing a life (with 3 goes at the timed levels.) never seen anyone get to the end doing this...

Another hardcore mode is flying a B25C into a hotly contested base to bomb it and trying to live in the LA-MA.

When I play my Modern Warfare 2, I actually use guns. 

[fbWldcat]

In COD I always throw the sticky explosives at the head, if they get hit anywhere else and die, they get a free shot at me.

In Duke Nukem, I would use the machine gun only when on "Dam# I'm good" mode. Other times I would just use a pistol or the shotgun.

The only other game is Silent Hunter 3 with the grey wolf add on.
I use only realistic settings. VERY VERY HARD.
Im in a campaign that has been going on now for about 2 years. Im in 1944 now.

I do however save my stuff incase I die.

That's my new favorite game. I love it, and GWX 3.0 turns it from an amazing game to an excellent game. I don't have all the realism settings on, like no map contact update or noise-meter, but I hope to turn them off soon. I'm only in 1941 now. All my other campaigns didn't make it out of 1940. I play dead-is-dead though. It feels weird when I know that my u-boat died because of a mistake I made, and I reload a save game.

sometimes in BF: BC1 i play the campaign only using one vehicle, and if that one vehicle blows up, i run into the enemy line without firing my weapon. also on the helicopter mission, i hop out of the hind and do a sniper mission

[Meatwad]

That reminds me......

Operation flashpoint, cold war crisis

Used to make missions that were hard as hell but fun to play.  All enemy choppers, jets, tanks, etc etc. Jets were hard as to me the mission editor was buggy as hell and never worked properly

When you start that it just proves you spend too much time playing games LOL. I only did it once and that was with a Sega Mega drive game called Cannon Fodder. In it you had a squad of cartoony troops working their way through various battles. A fun game and I tried not to lose a man in as many levels as possible. I got through four or five until it became impossible.

In modern warfare 2, I try to avoid getting hit, after all in real life even a smallish wound knocks you out but the game is designed to make it hard on you. I'm still waiting for a properly realistic game. I thought Operation Flash point was the way forward once it's bugs were refined, but no, it's MW2 that sets the standard and it isn't even slightly realistic.

After the first time I won at Yahtzee, I tried again with just 4 dice.

Agreed. The hardcore arenas are great fun.

Agreed. The hardcore arenas are great fun.

I remember going 39-0 in hardcore war. Had scavenger and the sniper scope m-1 garand

After finishing Faction: Guerrilla, I played my 2nd playthrough with just using a sledgehammer.  Great fun banging away at the load bearing supports and watching the building fall with the bad guys all piled up inside.  Borderlands, on my 2nd playthrough only used my fists and that proved to be a little tough but fun.
