Is There A Modern Warfare 2 Hardcore Mode

The Modern Warfare 2 Tier 1 playlist option has been added to the FPS game with Modern Warfare 2 season 1, and is the new home of hardcore. The game mode has been renamed to Tier 1 for reasons known only to the developers, but the mode itself is the same.

Hardcore mode has arrived alongside Warzone 2 and Modern Warfare 2 Season 1. A change in name thankfully doesn’t change the style of gameplay, or the game modes, with Tier 1 offering exactly the same thing as previous hardcore modes.
The game modes available in the hardcore playlist are:

Team Deathmatch Domination Search and Destroy Hardpoint Headquarters Kill Confirmed Free-for-all Control
