Depending on how steady your aim is (I tend to spray a bit) it takes almost a full mag to take down a single opponent, making med kits so so powerful in that mode.
It didn't make me dislike HC though, I just never ever play normal anymore. Unless I've been away for a while, I go into normal to warm up ^^
Just a random thought: Has anyone ever come across a bug where you can't die? I'm not sure what happened - and believe me I've tried to make it happen again - but somehow I didn't take any damage. I was running around in metro rush and slaughtered people, when my friend noticed that people from the side were shooting at me, with no effect. After screaming at me to rush in and shoot everything I noticed that I was invincible, or at least for some time. After killing another 15 or so people I died. Not sure if it was because there were 5 guys spraying at me or if the bug fixed itself and I died. Note: As it was unintentional, no one got mad, and my streak ended at around 20-25 kills, and I got too greedy to even try to go for the m-com, so no one really cared. Everyone wanted to know how it happened, though.
What I believe made it happen was that I got killed, by a grenade, but I was revived by my friend the very second I died (as he saw I was going to die from the nade) and I think the game just went nuts and thought I was in limbo or something.
This all happened several months ago, and might not work anymore, and while I tried to make it happen again for my friend (he goes on mad streaks without being immortal), now I just want to know if anyone else has had a similar experience, or knows why it happened.
