I won't touch Hardcore again because you have to rely on Heartbeat even if you don't want to.

I play regular Deathmatch or express. If I venture off it is Search and Destroy, Domination or Sabotage. Those three you can get a SHIT ton of points to rank up.

I agree about Scrambler...my map goes fuzzy I hunker down and wait for that bitch to walk by since I have Ninja and they generally have heartbeat on as well.

I might try sitrep soon just to give it a shot...might be fun
