Tip: This isn't TF2. Don't run out in open areas. Unfortunately, it took me a while to catch on to that. :-/

Might not be up yet, but someone else found it useful so people might not know.

Press Esc to see a full size map showing the position of all your teammates, set it to toggle on the Tab key if you're used to BF, press and hold see the map, let go map goes away.

In Hardcore it can be easy to lose track of the enemy if there is no UAV, so check the map, wherever the bulk of your team is, the enemies will spawn on the exact opposite position of the map. If your team is huddled in the northeast, the enemy will begin spawning southwest, works great if you push all the way across a map and want to double back and flank the enemy.

Exceptions do occur, the layout of some maps means this doesn't work perfectly, but as a general rule just go to the opposite side of the map, Bloc and Shipment are two exceptions. Bloc tends to have a lot of campers, which means the spawning of teammates is more dispersed, and shipment has so much movement it's no use looking where the hostiles are.

Shipment? Movement? Wait, those words cannot be used in the same sentence!

[Avenger6789]

You spawncamp and reverse, thats all you do in shipment...

Amen to that.

G36c with Red Dot, Steady Aim and Stopping Power makes for a good all around kit for most purposes.

Bomb Squad, very useful in 20 & under man hardcore servers on certain maps.

When using the last stand perk you can still use your knife. I have knifed two guys while in last stand.

My fav kit in the whole game and i almost use always, except for sniper maps.

But unfortunately, today i lost a bit of trust in this kit. I was on Countdown and sneaked to the enemy spawn where some sniper was camping and i see him, he sees me too and i lie down to shoot him without the iron sights. Even with Steady Aim i missed him from like 9 metres away. I looked on the KillCam and it seemed that my bullets magicly just shot around him.
A real WTF moment for me.

the G36C does have a very weird spray pattern that seems to vary quite a bit.

Be Patient, Patience is key....I have not yet mastered this, but it makes a huge difference...

Strange.....ah well, i just did 59 to 18 with the G36C on Showdown with as less nade spam as possible. So my trust is restored :p Going for the Red Tiger camo on it, because that looks so damn sexy.:shock:

A good all around H/C loadout would be:

AK-47 Silenced
USP. 45 Silenced
3x Stun or Flash
UAV Jammer or Sleight of Hand
Dead Silence or Steady Aim

This has rarely failed me on H/C servers. :)

if you have a side button on your mouse:

bind it to knife, it works wonders
