I feel that every point in this discussion is set on the foundation of "teamwork". There is no need for teamwork with ricochet, because everything you do (throwing flashes, calling in KS's, engaging the enemy/coverfire) is only affecting YOU - effectively making HC a lonewolf mode.

I remember in my MW2 days, I was playing with a decent group of guys in MW2 HC. We effectively ran 2 or 3 man groups and cleared rooms/areas of the map. If one of us ****** up (bad timing, misfiring etc): WE got the BLAME, but only because our teammates got irritated for ruining for them.

Not sure how to explain it, but what I'm trying to say is: Teamwork is key. Teamwork is fun. Sadly, teamwork is non-existant in HC today. It's just 6 guys who happen to be on the same team.

Bit longer than you asked for, man, sorry 'bout that.

Ricochet is great for one thing...when you have an a**hole on your team that's there just to **** with people by killing you and your teammates. Other than that, it's really annoying. I rarely ever kill myself because I accidentally shot a teammate, or threw a nade at them, or anyhting else like that. When I do kill myself due to the ricochet, it's because I'm in a lobby full of randoms that don't listen when I tell them to stay away from an area or get indoors and I drop an airstrike or stealthbomber.

That being said, I can live with Ricochet, but I'd prefer if it wasn't part of my Hardcore experience.

Dumb question time.

I play hardcore as I find it's easier for me, I'm not very good and HC doesn't appear as hectic and you need to think about things a bit more but what is the main difference between normal HC  and ricochet modes?? Is it literally friendly fire??

See told you, thanks for answers

Mostly... but it really changes the way you have to communicate and work as team.

Stealth Bombers will kill EVERYONE.

Another one!!

You get kills if you shoot behind a player and it's comes off a wall/car etc then Tibet drop as I'm sure I've been shoot through walls and the player isn't using impact perk
