Really? I find that a lot of people see the whole FPS genre as "hardcore" but most FPSs are really easy.

Really easy? Try to beat halo 3 on legendary or GoW(well, tps) on insane difficulty and tell me that is easy. :) Just wondering, what games are "hard" ones?

Well NO SHIT its on the hardest difficulty so of course its not easy!

Hes talking about normal difficulty I assume. Seriously stupid post.....
