Hardcore playlists have been quite popular among Call of Duty fans, so you may be asking yourself whether Hardcore multiplayer modes are available in MW2, and if not, when they may be coming.
When Is Modern Warfare 2 Hardcore Multiplayer Coming Out? Explained
The simple answer to this question is on Nov. 14, when CoD: MW2 will receive its first major content update with Season 01 (which will also include Warzone 2.0 and more).
Of course, to answer the question in the headline, this means that the game launched without a Hardcore playlist and it’s not available yet.
On top of that, it won’t be called “Hardcore” anymore, as it will be renamed to “Tier 1.”
If you’re wondering “Tier 1” is military lingo that describes highly-trained and often secretive forces, part of the elite among the elite in an army. It’s a term especially common but not exclusive to the United States armed forces.
In the game, the Tier 1 playlists will offer a more challenging experience compared to the traditional multiplayer. Operators will have less health, HUD elements will be limited, and you’ll have to be careful because friendly fire will be enabled.
All the modes that will support Tier 1 playlists will have these elements in common.
This is all you need to know about whether Modern Warfare 2 has Hardcore multiplayer modes and when they will be made available. Of course, you should stay tuned on Twinfinite for further news on Call of Duty: MW2, more guides, and additional coverage.
MW2 is currently available for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
