COD4 Call of Duty 4 Hardcore Search and Destroy Tips Help

hey where are some good spots and strategies for popular maps like Ovegrown, Backlot, Crash, and other maps that wont be skipped. For some reason I also get Chinatown and District a lot in hardcore search. I need to know these because I usually end up dying or staying in one spot the whole round w/o seeing anyone.

Another thing I would like to know would be how should I choose what target to go for each round and when too switch it up?

I LOVE hardcore search :p

@Crash: I’d say using range is very good, because they are places you can get people were they don’t even know about… but smg are also useful for clearing the houses xD

i am a big fan of hardcore but its dominated by people spamming M21s and M4s all over the place but i think the best way to kill those people would be strategic placement of explosives like claymores and C4… its a lifesaver. a good add on would be how to plant explosives. it bothers me when somebody puts a claymore in the middle of a hallway of on top of a car, just basically explosives are good

another good tip is to go for the goal as in ’7 ways to piss off a teammate’don’t care about ur KDR go for the objective!!

What guns is good for HC Search and destroy?

if you are new M4 M21 P90 G36 but for more experienced players g3 m16 m40 shotguns and desert eagles

okay in you should considering doing ethier of these everytime: a: rush to the vantage point/ objective OR b: find a good camping spot that watches over the main vantage point or objective. i recommend using these guns always.SNIPER m21, ASSAULT g3/m4/ak/m16(silenced) SMG p90(reddot or silencer depending on map) SHOTGUNS (dont use these) LMG (dont use these).

and the most useful perks are:

1.uav jammer
2.deep impact
3.deadsilence
4claymores/c4s/noobtubes/rpgs (depending on weapon and your style)
5.overkill (useful for x4 noobtubes, or sniper+smg/assault)

diddn’t mean to destroy your guide if you think i did…..

and also obviously bandoliar is very useful for automatic weapons….

Bandoliar is not a good perk for S&D, whether hardcore or not, more often than not the round will not last long enough for you to go through a whole clip, and if you are low on ammo just pick up a dead persons gun..

Man you are right bandoliar is pointless, unless you have horrible aim.. in that case dont play hardcore anything.. if you cant hit someone with 2 bullets you need a new game

Hardcore search and destroy is definitely not the way to go for competitive play. Try pam SnD or even better, promod SnD. That is where the pros are with competitive play. If you want to check out a map google quadv (i can’t remember the exact web address of their website) and click on video on demand, choose the beta version and sort by game. pick cod4 and watch the EG vs lowland Lions finals for i34 (it is played on backlot followed by crash on the second vid.

The key to winning HS&D is to know the maps inside out. Knowing a few corners where you like to camp is not good enough. You have to know and judge where the enemies are about to go to by knowledge of the full map. This may seem impossible, but if you know the map well you can read enemy movements. Learning the maps is the key to success. Try some private matches with yourself if you want to explore maps and find secret spots. And at the start, that is probably hte most important part. You know where the enemy spawns – but the enemy knows where you spaw ntoo. Instead of following your predictable team mates to near certain death out in the open and ina bunch, gradually go away from them and surprise the enemy from another position on the map.

It works. Good luck.

Well, a fast thing about M21 – The bad thing about that sniper, its loud. So you hear pretty much exactly where you shoot from, but still a nice sniper nevertheless. Just have your heads up when using it and make sure your first shot is the right shot.

use 1 nade early, w8 5 seconds then another, trust me it works for people who dont want to be out early. works best on district and back lot.

the 2 best create class for hardcore is gc36cc with overkill with a dragonov perk 1 claymore perk 2 overkill perk 3 extreame conditioning,the secong create a class is p90, with uav , perk 1 claymore get in enemy terroritory and claymore up, perk 2 uav, perk 3 only way to get in the best places before enemies get there is extreame conditioning, I SHOULD KNOW IM 15,000 IN THE WORLD ON PS3 AND PLAY ALL THE TIME WITH AS KARIM WHO IS 214 IN THE WORLD AND JULPOPE2 WHO IS 156 IN THE WORLD

Try to catch people off-guard
The best way to do this is

EXTREAME CONDITIONING!

USE IT !!!

noob tube + extream condition

hard s&d setup:
G36C
noob tube
double tap
extream con/ steady aim

its just beast………..

i like my M21 , MP5 and G3

on certain maps a LMG can be used VERY effectively, like Bloc (or sniper city as i call it) you can get a RPD and “free fire” in short bursts through a the buildings and get a few kills every time, BUT you better have a buddy watching your back.

my fav class

MP5 – Red Dot
Perk 1- Stun 3
Perk 2- Stopping Power (to ensure 1 bullet is enough and for the Juggerbitches) or Double Tap
Perk 3- Extreme Conditioning

M21
Perk1- Claymore x2
Perk2- Stopping Power
Perk3- Deep Impact

DUDE IN COD5 THEY HAVE DOGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! in multiplayer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

wow tis website is sik

UR A WANKER NONE OF THESE TIPS WORK

i like to use this class for harcore s&d for gamebattles matches
m16 (red dot)
m9 (has alot of ammo)
Smoke
Bomb squad
Sleight of hand
Dead silence

send me a message my gamertag is mrcleanMoNsTeR for xbox and ps3

I mainly use 2 classes while playing S&D. 1 with the G3 (for spamming mostly),uav jammer,dead silence,and claymores. And my rushing class, the P90,sleight of hand,dead silence,and bomb squad. BS is helpful when rushing, for you will know locations of enemy clays…rather then rushing into them. Dead silence is always useful. I wouldnt suggest using extreme conditioning with the P90,its bugged so that you run longer than any other weapon, about equal to the sprint distance of E.C. Also…the G3 has a bug when silenced…occasionaly when you go to knife it will glitch and miss (the barrel is too long) hope this helps.

i use these two guns mainly

1. red tiger – M16 silenced: 1) bomb squad [it takes care of those claymore spammers]
2) stopping power [basically a one burst kill]
3) deep impact [cut through those walls and kill them silently]
_extra note: i dont use uav jammer cuz all i do when an enemy has it, is find a place to camp till it runs out, and no its not a noob move, its smart

2. red tiger – MP5 silenced: 1) claymores [cuz youll b playing close quarters wit this]
2) stopping power [once again]
3) dead silence [since its close quarters, you wanna b stealthy]

_also: i use the D-Eagle because it kicks ass and its a sweet looking pistol lol

[...] beginning of a Call of Duty 4 Search and Destroy game is essentially a race. When the game starts, experienced players all make a mad dash from the [...]

Promod is horrid..

Total crap.

First off stopping power is the worst for hardcore( reffering to saint). These are the classes i like to use:
m4 or g36c (silenced) 1 bomb squad 2 uav jammer 3 dead silence
Scorpion ACOG 1 c4 2 uav jammer 3 dead silence
M40 1 claymore 2 uav jammer 3 deep impact

Its’ all about the stealth in HCSnD

What is spamming?

none of yoos have a clue. best class bye far in hardcore is m16 red dot or silencer. with claymores or bomb squad and dead silence is a must have

can anyone show me over xbl the prenade spots in cod4, i know pretty well the noob tube spots(except for downpour and defense on backlot). I think knowin all the pre nade spots will boost my k/d ratio greatly and help me to become a better player. please add xXEnergyRehabXx over xbl

silenced MP5, claymores or 3x special grenades, UAV jammer, extreme conditioning

S&D masterclass!

HC s&d is by far my favorite. i use a m21 and silenced sidearm and my perks are 1-c4′s, 2- either uav jammer or stopping power, 3-iron lungs. haha its kinda lame, but it works… this is what i do on ‘defense’- when you begin, run to the to bombs and crawl close to them and throw the c4 underneath them so noone can see them. after their rigged, go to a sniping spot and pick off whoever you can find. as soon as you get notified that the bomb has been placed, i quick-detonate my c4′s so both places blow up, killing whoever planted the bomb. then simply kill any survivors and disarm it. then for ‘offense’ i usually never get the bomb, i just snipe the enemy around the target areas.

Shit, u guys dont know shit im in the top 10 on cod 4 and im #200 on cod 5 so dont be thinking u know shit.use what is better for u,ever1 uses different guns.but the best perks would be for hardcore is alot of things just never use stopping power.only use stopping power for core matches.but if i were u use the scorpion silenced for hardcore w/ the m14 red dot u will thank me for it……..

Ban Nades? wtf what about prenades jesus christ coz u cant prenade

I usually use my M40A3 Sniper Rifle with overkill mp5 (silencer). perks : claymore, overkill (obviously), and iron lungs. i usually rush to a good sniping position kill a few people, then scout around with my mp5 after having placed my claymores. but generally, everyone should just play a shit lot of matches and use whatever works for them. i like seeing the diversity of all the comments…most are different, which is good indication to use what you feel is best.

The best hardcore search class i use is a M21 (its not noobish the only one’s who get kill by them say its noobish). I also put over kill it will help m21 with p90 or mp5 very deadly.make sure u have a silencer on ur other gun so ur like a ninja.alawys use claymores or c4s if u dont ur a complete Noooooob.Another perk i would use is dead silence stop ppl that have turtle beaches or the other crap from hearing u that easily remeber every ones getting them i get some 2 only 60 at best buy

attack – mp5, 3 frag, sleight of hand (try it) and dead silence (is a must!)
defend – mp5 silence/m16 silence , c4 (to put on one site while guarding the other) , uav jammer, dead silence.

Ak-74u (silenced)
M40
Flashbang
Claymore
Overkill
Deep impact (this perk is good for Hardcore S&D

im Lvl 55 very experienced
Reg Search and Destroy( depending on maps)

Ak-74u silenced
M1911 .45 (Not silenced)
Flashbang
Claymore
UAV Jammer
dead silence

My Hardcore Classes:

My Most Used Classes:
Slot 1:MP5 (silenced) close combat
Slot 2:M16 (red dot) medium to far range shots

Perk 1: Clays for defending / Bombs Squad for attacking
Perk 2: Overkill
Perk 3: Deep Impact (Prefire with M16)
——————
My Rush Class:

MP5 (silenced) close combat

Perk 1: Bombs Squad
Perk 2: Juggernaut
Perk 3: Extreme Conditioning
—————-
My Noob class

Slot 1: G3 & Noobtubesx2
Slot 2: M16 & Noobtubesx2

Perk 1:Noobtubes ^
Perk 2: Overkill
Perk 3: Deep Impact (Prefire with M16)

All I need is right there.

oh and dont use p90′s mp5′s and ak-74u’s have PROVEN to be better even though the p90 carries more ammo.

rushing is the way to go, stopping power + 3x frag/3x stun’s + extreme conditioning, with strategic grenade throws are great.

lol. They only call it hardcore because they felt like it would offend people if they just called it, ” Noobcore” kthx.

Hey, I play a lot of hc search & destroy. People say Im amazing at cod4 but I just think that I play smart. I’ve seen a lot of people on here saying the m21 is good to use. Personally, I hate it. Usually it is used by people who can’t snipe. They just stand and shoot their whole clip at you haha.m40 is the way to go! Watching people play hc search pains me because of the way they play. People that I see play extremely slow and it’s really boring, always sitting in corners camping. Me, I do not, I rush. This is for more experienced players. Every map has a way or another to easily rush. My classes that I use is mp5 red dot, desert eagle,claymores, uav jammed, and extreme conditioning. Also I use m16 a lot, but I prefer mp5 for rushing. P90 is for beginners because usually, all you need to do is spray. As you are rushing use the claymores to plant in spots where you know people will go for example, outside a doorway, entrance before you get to the bomb. This is all for now but if you want to learn more like routes I take when I rush, sniping spots, or other things, I might be able to help I play xbox 360 gtag is CodaPresence

The best weapon combinations for hardcore search and destroy is:

-M16 with red dot sight or grenade launcher (i recommend the grenade launcher for hardcore as it will get you the first couple of kills you need.

-PERK 1 – c4, claymores or rpg’s can be useful.
-PERK 2 – sleight of hand if your triggy happy but i would recommend uav jammer for hc s&d.
-PERK 3 – extreme conditioning to get into the enemy territory a the start before they set up their camping positions or if you can’t reload in time and are getting shot at you can run away.

but the m16 is more for professional players as it fires in bursts so if your confonted by an enemy your first shot at the enemy counts and if it hits it should kill them but if it misses their likely to spray you with a pile of bullets and thats you round gone.

I play on the ps3 and my account name is on the top oh and xbox sucks ass.

you drank my brest milk and made my tits go saggy

ya man

woooh

I am a tenth prestige, All gold guns, who has played around 13,000 matches so far. Im rank 6956 in wins but I am friends with players within the top 100 players. Hardcore Search is all we play. My best advice would be to just check your corners at all times. Something that helps with this is definetly cage match. Cage match as much as possible, although its not hardcore and you may need more than 2 bullets to kill someone (if im sniping, its a 1 shot kill). I say cage match helps you in hardcore play because it teaches you how to effectively rush another player and also predict their movement as well as their camping spots. My best advice (according to my style of play)
Sub Machine Gun- Any-
1st- Bomb Squad (when planting) Claymores (when defending)
2nd-Stopping Power( as opposed to UAV Jammer because it Stopping Power matters. Period. damage on enemy players without it, also i play better with the enemy uav on me because all i have to do is move around and catch other rushers trying to catch me.
3rd- Extreme Conditioning- This perk has saved my life a million times because of the fact that I gained a position before the enemy got there. (Dead Silence works well too but it doesnt really matter once you’ve mastered killing the 1st rusher on the other team, you can basically infiltrate the enemy spawn within a few seconds)

Also, knowing where and at what point in time to rush makes all the difference in facing any enemy player of any skill level. Example. in Crash when your planting, the main target to rush is A, rush through the blue room and rush into the bottom of A, preventing and enemy from getting there before you using a well aimed and cooked frag over the wall to the center of your screen. I plant my claymores on the step, and one by the bomb target. After, it is important NOT to camp once you’ve infiltrated A and planted claymores. Clear the sniper on the roof looking at A and rush the enemy spawn obviously checking corners because players tend to sit and wait for you to rush into them.

Improvisation helps more than anything. Its one thing to know where your enemy is, but the real mission is how to effectively rush your enemies and getting the round win. I would say pacing helps. If you know the enemy is around, dont just rush right in the door closest to them, wait around for that extra few milliseconds and catch them off gaurd.

So, now you know what I know, go out there and enjoy playing. Its just a game, you dont get any medals or achievements or any money for being number one, you just get bragging rights in match lobbies and stats. Do not sit and play for 5 hours straight like I usually do because it has affected my schoolwork and my final grades. Spend half and hour at most and then turn off the console. Come back on later when your finished getting everything done because COD4 is ADDICTIVE!. Any comments or if u wanna learn any glitches for any map (getting outside the map, etc shutthefrontdoor ThaMerkMan

i play cod4 search and destroy a lot and if your going to play competively in tournaments or on gamebattles you need to not listen to a lot of these people. First off, if you play competitively almost everyone has turtle beaches. TB is actually a really good headset that allows you to hear other people when they run or walk by you. Therefore extreme conditioning is not the way to go because people can hear you from a mile away. Using a Mp5 or a p90 is sufficient enough and you dont need XC. Second off almost every class should have an m16. Powerful enought to shoot through walls and accurate enought to shoot from the hip its deffinately the weapon of choice unless your playing a larger map when you would need a sniper. My last tip is that you should be in constant communication with your teammates. Knowing where your teammate dies is a huge advantage because now you hopefully know where some players on the other team are. Don’t let your teammates die without giving you valuable information. Talk to me on gamebattles n8dawg21392 if you just want to chat or on aim at n8dawg102604.

Last tip is that if you have overkill and you have a sniper make sure to put your sniper first so you can have a ghillie suit.

m16 red dot
bomb squad
sleight of hand
dead silence
stun/smoke
Owns and
p90 silenced
bomb squad
sleight of hand
extreme conditioning/deep impact
Deep impact is for the people who constantly hide behind things like walls or barrels.

1.Yo, all weps are good in HC! Some can be used better than others. I like drag. with overkill ak47 silenced.Perk 1 is claymores, perk 2 is overkill, perk 3 is deep impact.
2. ak47,red dot, deagle or usp, perk 1 rpgs, bombsquad or 3 frags. Perk 2 slight of hand, perk 3 extreme conditioning.
3. Shotty, m21 acog. Works best on showdown. shotty for close, m31 for mid. perk one 3 frags, or bombsquad, perk 2 overkill, perk 3 dead silence.
4. G3 silenced, usp sileced , perk 1 bombsquad, perk 2 uav jammer, perk three dead silence.
5 g36c w/gr and g3 w/gr. perk 1 none, perk 2 overkill, perk 3 extreme conditioning
6.pistol class, perk 1 bombsquad, perk 2 slight of hand or uav jammer, perk 3 steady aim, dead silence or extreme conditionging.

? ???? ????? ????? ? ????????? ????? ??????????, ?? ? ???? ??? ????????? ? ?????? ????? ? ????? ???????? ?? ?????????? ????!

the best class for Hs&d is p90 silenced m9 perk1 claymores perk2 slight of hand perk 3 dead silence this is key to do well

If anybody needs help with search on xbl add me GT: Eastpole
i only play hardcore and am extremely experienced having done competitive CoD4 for 2 years now.
basically 3 classes are a neccesity:
class 1: silenced mp5, no garbage red dot
perks: blue; claymores. red; sleight of hand or jammer if ur team constantly gives away uavs. green: dead silence.
always stun grenade, they are useful for clearing rooms as they show tick marks when an opponent is hit.
class 2: red dot m16 for range
same perks but red can be changed for double tap for prefires
class 3: semi-auto sniper (M21 ftw)
same perks as class one, with possible overkill.

well, i have for one of my classes is a mp5 silienced, with claymores, UAV jammer, and steady aim and stun nade. i usually use claymore for when i plant the bomb and i put claymores in key locations so if i die i usually get claymore kills and sometimes i win with those claymores. so they are really handy

and for the steady aim i usually throw a stun gernade in a room and i get the mark when u hit something so as soon as i throw it and hit someone i run in and start spraying and my steady aim does all the work

???????? ????, ???????????. ?????? ?????? ??????, ??????? ???????? ?????? ?????? ?? ??????? ???????. ???????? ??????????!

HC SnD is like regular SnD with a few discrepancies because of the fact that it is hardcore.

- Do not use hard hitting snipers. This means the R700 and 50 Cal are out. Do not use them. The extra damage they offer is 90% of the time redundant due to hardcore having 30% of stock health.
- If you’re sniping, get used to the M21. This sniper has virtually no recoil and will kill in a shot in most cases. The damage is lower than the other snipers yet sufficient for a KO in HC.
- If you’re stealth sniping, use either the M16,M4 or G3 silenced. G3 silenced is recommended but avoid knifing people. Remember to use UAV Jammer.
- Do not use Stopping Power/Juggernaut/Sonic Boom. If you’re wondering what to use for Perk 2, go with either Double Tap (which is better than Stopping Power in almost all cases in HC), Overkill, Sleight of Hand, or UAV Jammer. I suggest UAV Jammer. It is undoubtedly the best perk in hardcore modes.
- Do not use martyrdom. -50 points isn’t worth it.
- See where and how allies died. Check the map often by pressing START. If an ally died from a knife, you can be sure an enemy is there.

Noobtubing/RPGs:
These are the most efficient weapons in HC. At long range, they are not as nooby as they sound, for it takes some skill to aim them. Practice the noob tube’s arc and the RPG’s random swerving. With luck, you will manage to get a kill or two every round.

Best class in HC???
My answer is:
G3 grenade launcher, pistol of your choice, with UAV Jammer and Steady Aim.
The G3′s iron sights are perfect for encounters at all ranges, the accuracy is high, no sway, no recoil. Kills in a shot in most cases. Just make sure you have good connection. That’s all there is to say. In HC TDM, you can switch the noobtube for a silencer and have bandolier as your first perk. Stealth snipers are the way to go in HC.

Dont ever use Martydom becasue you will always kill one of your teamates. Use a gun that you like cause you will do better. Use an attachment that you do very well with. If you like two rush people than always use a gun with a silencer. If you always get Noobed then file a compliant. Noob them back.
Be careful have fun.

Dont ever use Martydom becasue you will always kill

Dont ever use Martydom becasue you will always kill !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

M16 red dot, sleight of hand, claymores and deep impact.

If you want a rifle for long range but dont care about the UAV use M16 with DOUBLETAP. it saves you at close range and with help you hit people that you miss quickly.

hey guys i really need help ranking up can you post how much points per kill on different game modes so i need good classes maps servers on pc and tips

MP5 silenced with deep impact claymores and stopping power stun some times overkill if i hate the map =()

What i love to use is a mini uzi with silencer (red tiger), bandolier, double tap, and deep impact. This class is an easy way to rush people but i prefer HCTD. You people might say the mini uzi sucks, but ONCE YOU LEARN TO USE IT, its a frakin beast!

1 of my most used classes would be the ak74u no attachment, frags x3 slieght of hands and as allways.. dead silence. if u ask me(im 10th prestige with 104 days play time) the ak74 is the best wepon on cod 4 simply because it is moderatly accurate,has the power of an assault rifle and mobility and fire rate of an smg. most people tend to stick to the mp5 or p90 but in a pro v pro 1 v1 match the ak74 outdoes the p90 and mp5 10-1.. no offence to those who use the p90 and mp5.. dont get me rong there all great wepons. every1 uses the p90 because of the simple fact that its like a mini gun lol, lots and lots of bullets down range but on average on a mid range shot u get 1 kill for every 30 bullets yea u can use stopping power but then its average is about 25 bullets a kill because people panic when they see sum1 and they spray.. slow down and take a breath.. 9 times out of 10 he is sparying to.. so if u can get past the bullets goin past ur head and take a presise shot u will usally get the kill and save ammo…on the other hand the ak74u on a mid range shot kills in about 4 bullets.. u do the math.
anouther one of my fav. classes is the m16 reddot, bandolier doubletap and deep impact.(my spray and pray class) this class works extremly well for spraying spawns through the cover of a thin wall or some kind of object. a really good map for this is showdown.
when it comes to pistols for HC dont take anyones advice.. it depends on witch ever one ur better with.. people say “but the degale kills with 1 hit” yea.. thats cool if u can acctually manage to hit someone with it lol. i use the usp.45 because it doesent shoot the cloudes out and it kills with 2 shots from a distance…
sniper rifles.. everyone goes with the m21 for HC because it shoots fast and kills good but i use the m40a3 no acog(stay away from acogs they tend to sway as soon as ur fixin to shoot) bandolier(cuz a good sniper uses his pistol more than his rifle) doubletap(cuz the bolt action) and steady aim or deep impact.. depends on the map(big or small)
shot guns are…ok, if ur good with ur pistol cuz u got about 30 ft of kill range with the ole shotty lol.. ummmmm if u guys have any questions post them i will be glad to do my best to answer them.

1 more thing.. people are always radeing my inbox with questions about claymores, c4, noob toobs and rpgs…
claymores are good because u can set it and forget it.. but there slow.. & most ppl have developt a tallent in wich, u here the click and sprint jump over it,or theres a 50/50% chance they have bomb squad.. if ur gonna use any of these 4 i recomend sonic boom.. ecspecially for toobs. however, i dont recomend toobs, or attachments, because they allter ur wepons accuracy.. wether it be red dot noob toob acog… the m16 is good with red dot though because its 3 shot burst lol when using rpgs allways put it on a class suitable for doubletap because of the hang time between when u pull the trigger and when it acctually shoots,and if u do ur part u wont have to reload fast.. and say ur on showdown and u blow 2 ppl up but theres a person coming up the stairs all u gotta do is hit triangle lol..
