When you find yourself typing by accident don't press enter we don't want a
"wwwwwwwwwdddddddd66666asdawwwwwdasw"
Press the ESCAPE key and it removes it quickly.
-----------------

you can hold stun grenades like a cooked grenade, but they wont blow in your hand. So cook it BEFORE you plan to enter a room so your not in a doorway getting shot.
-----------------

P90's magazine is ALOT longer than an MP5
-----------------

You CAN throw the nade back.
-----------------

Don't use a shotgun in a larger hardcore map. (I learned that fast )
-----------------

If the noob is blocking the doorway, and he wont listen and move so you can get through, Shoot/knife him. You get -5 points for the team kill,but you get 10 per kill.

The ACOG scope on the G36C has almost no sway at all... ALL other guns have irritating sway with ACOG attached

The G36C shares ammo with the M4 and M16

Does anyone have a list or something with all the weapons and if they share ammo?

[Micster]

A Silencer on a G36C hardly shows any negative effects on range.

If an opponent is taking cover behind a car, shoot the car until it catches fire. It will explode a few seconds later, seriously injuring or killing the other player(s) if they don't move. If they do run, shoot them.

Dont take cover behind cars

When you miss a stab, quickly look at the opponent to kill him with the same stab.
The knife stays in the hit position for a half second or so giving you enough time to adjust your aim.
With practice you can keep killing people with the first stab even when you miss at first.

"/bindlist" and "/unbind [key]" help with knowing what you have binded and removing one or more.

On the map Pipeline there is a tunnel system linking many different buildings together. Explore it sometimes to get safely and secretly from on place to another.

The Tunnel System in Pipeline is also a great way to get Shotgun and other Close weapon kills, should any enemies begin to think smart.

How about I sum this up with "Map Knowledge" ?

Fire up a local server and explore each map. There is no substitute for actual game time with people shooting at you, but you should always know the basic layout of a given map.

The second part of this is know each game type and how it plays on a given map. Domination, S&D, Sabotage, etc... Know where the objective points are, how to get from "A" to "B" and what paths your opponent is likely to take so you can defend.

This really goes for any FPS game, but it bears repeating.

Shotguns are amazing in Hardcore mode, especially on FFA. Line it up with Double Tap for the Pump Shotgun or Sleight of Hand for the Auto Shotgun, and you've got a monster of a weapon.

Thats all you need. Not that other junk. Also, in hardcore mode, it doesn't matter what pistol you have. Even an M9 will one shot a guy in the foot. :dead:

I completely have to disagree, ANYTHING is better than a shotty in hardcore.. you might aswell use your deagle

deagle:
- 1 shots kill at any range
- holds more bullets than shotty lol

shottys:

- no range

- if you get close enough you still have to be accurate, or else the other guy holds the fire button down, spins around and gets you in his sprinkler-style fan of insta-death
