New "Tier 1" Hardcore Mode Due To Arrive Shortly In Modern Warfare II (2022)

Many of you (especially those Hardcore Mode players, like me) may have noticed that when Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II (2022) released its multiplayer on the 28th of October, the franchise classic Hardcore Mode was absent. Why exactly, we’re all currently unsure. However, Hardcore Mode has been confirmed for release in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II (2022) and will arrive on the 16th of November.

Traditionally, Hardcore Modes are more challenging versions of modes already found in Core multiplayer; health and HUD are both severely reduced.

Strangely it arrives with a new name, “Tier 1”, and will no longer be labelled as Hardcore Mode — due to the delayed release and name change, Activision may have other changes planned for the mode too. But at this point, nothing has been confirmed.
