No, you'll be super slow, reload super slow, you'll get like 2 kills because you can't keep up with the team and because it's red or even standard gear you'll still die in 1 or 2 hits anyway.

Hardplate is only worth going for if you're level 40-60+ or have many points invested in movement, reload speed and heavy gear at a low level.

Going full hardplate is useless anyway since you only need 1 black piece of hardplate (like the chest or legs mainly) to get full physical.
