MW3 Hardpoint Game Mode Maps Tips – Modern Warfare 3 - Modern Warfare 3

Hardpoint is one of the multiplayer game modes available in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. Read on to learn more about this game mode, how to play it, and the best loadouts you can equip.

Tips and Strategies for Hardpoint

Play Around the Hardpoints

Capturing the Hardpoint is as simple as walking in the indicated area and while you can stay and defend it from inside, it is best to move around the area and play around the Hardpoint.

Once your team already has the objective and all you need to do is defend it. Staying outside and moving around gives you more space to work with and decreases the possibility of getting killed by throwables or Killstreaks.

Anticipate Enemy Rotations

Hardpoint locations relocate every minute and will cause players on both teams to go to that specified area. If you find yourself far from the new Hardpoint, you can instead hunt for enemies trying to rotate to the new location. This disrupts any enemy plans of grouping together as you’ll be sending them to respawn elsewhere on the map.
