I’m just responding to this claim:
Which is objectively false.
You are likely insulated by the fact that you are a very very skilled player, but the mode is, in fact, harder than the rest of the game because of the modifiers I linked/posted above. By virtue of these modifiers existing in Havoc, the mode is less forgiving of mistakes than the previous hardest levels, A5s and AMs (many of which give players a buff).
That’s all!
