Map hint for Hardcore mode
Entry Location:


When you play hardcore in any gametype you have no HUD. If you press the START button while you play a little map pops up in the bottom right corner. This is really helpful during Search and Destroy because you can see where your partners are and where they died. Just make sure you are at a safe spot so you don't die!
