"Because so many people use Stopping Power & Juggernaut, that the only sensible thing left to do in Hardcore is to use a stealth class with Camoflauge & Dead Silence, and since that leaves you with less firepower, your only option is to camp."

When every gun kills in one or two hits (or the PPSh without Stopping Power, which kills in two or three), how does that leave you with less firepower? Relative to player health, weapons do much more damage in Hardcore without Stopping Power than they do in Core with Stopping Power.

If you want to be mobile in Hardcore, you have to be very aware of enemy positions and probably enemy positions. Throw on a Flash Hider, Bomb Squad, Camouflage, and Dead Silence and move quickly from cover to cover.
