Is it me or would this be more fun if they were completely random instead of a fixed order? I have noticed the other teams I have played aginst always seem to have them locked down before the switched.

This. I agree this game type would be a lot better if it were random. Its seems more like a race to the first one. Oh the other team got it first. Lets run and camp the second spot.
That depends on if you are running with a team or just randoms. I like knowing where the next hardpoint is and setting up to cap it. It requires more teamwork (how can this be, it's CoD. No TEAMWORK ALLOWED! ) and strategy.
In all of hte gametypes this one has the most F*ed up spawns. It is just aweful. Maybe the random spawn point would help but i just an not get past the spawns.
I put this knowledge into practice during the clan games tonite. While playing Hardpoint on Meltdown, I watched the timer and when there was only about 10-15 sec left before a hardpoint expired, I would run to the next one in the rotation and be 1st to take it a good % of the time. Not only does it help the team out, it also gives you extra score when you single-handedly cap a point. Our team did some fantastic murdering across the map, to be sure, but nailing down the HP first also gave us an advantage, and IIRC we won that game by a fair margin.
This is definitely something that folks who want to play a little more competitively will want to learn. Watching some of the pros play on Twitch TV, they do the same thing - reminding each other of the rotation before the map starts, then sending an early runner(s) to the next HP in the rotation before the old one expires.
I agree, Sexy. This gametype would be a lot more fun if the hardpoints were random. But that said, if you're playing with a team that knows the hardpoint rotation, you could win many, many games against timmies.

I saw this earlier today during my lunchbreak but forgot to post it when I got home.
Learning these points and the order in which they rotate for each map will be a major key to doing well on this mode.

Thoughts on making this thread a sticky? Seems like something to refer back to often.

Foolish Drew, there is no teamwork in COD. Come on, we've been told this over and over again.
what i do like in custom mataches you can make them random. wish they would setup the playlist like that.
But i get your point Whiskey. Having them on a fixed rotation fosters a strategy. eventually everyone will know it.
