Is there any special you need to do to set a server up hardcore? We have one running and it is set to hardcore, but the guns don't have the same damage as some of the other HC servers I played.
Thanks

I had that problem on my server as well. I ended up bumping the bullet damage perk from its default 40 up to 65. That helps while using that perk, but not otherwise.

If its the same as cod4 then there are 2 things you must do to make it 'hardcore' as most people know it. sv_hardcore 1 will take care of the HUD stuff...compass, ammo counts, etc. Then you must set the playerhealth to 30, default was 100 (sorry the var escapes me so rather than post it wrong ...)

I have set scr_player_maxhealth set to 40 and perk_bulletDamage and set that to 16. This way both are leveled in proportion. I tried this and it's working great for me. I also lowered the dogs health from 100 down to 50.

EDIT: Oops, this was meant for LeadCore.

In CoD4, when you turned on hardcore it automatically lowered the maxhealth to 30. In CoD:WW it allows the admins to manage this themselves and turning on hardcore doesn't automatically do this. So if you want it to be "just like" CoD4, set scr_player_maxhealth set to 30 in addition to turning on hardcore.

Yeah, I figured it out. It's been running perfect. I set the health players down to 39 and that seems to be the sweet spot for us.
