Hardcore

From Gears of War

The Hardcore choice - "You know how to pull off a headshot".
GoW 2 hardcore mark.

Hardcore is the standard level of the 3 difficulty settings in Gears of War. In this mode, players are punished for not using cover, enemies are accurate and have a considerable amount of health, however players can kill enemies far quicker than on the Insane difficulty level. This is considered to be the *True Gears Universe*.

Hardcore mode allows less for fighting in the open, and the damage that enemies inflict and the effort that it takes to destroy them is increased. Damage is now resonable, as you can be killed instantly by an explosive weapon (ex. Torque Bow), and Melee are almost instant killers as well. This is recommended for more experienced players who have completed the main Campaign at least once on Casual(or at least feel comfortable enough to switch). First time co-op player will be just perfect in this difficulty
