*This mod is intended to provide a more realistic, immersive game experience and to promote tactical gameplay.

So what does this mod provide over the stock Harcore?

Well in a configured setting this will provide for a balanced weapon setting. The hope is that issues found in Hardcore will find either a correction or a balance in this mod.
Specifically relating to the non existence of a compass, weapon status, ammo status and an idea of the damage you have taken aka a healthbar.
Also, the ability to run user generated maps.
Maps like mp_Krutzenfeig would never get any game time on a “stock ranked” server.

Ok, you got a couple of minutes speak to me…
What are the downsides?

Well you will run into some new features.

Features?! How are features bad.. features are supposed to be good.

Point of view plays a factor on these features. 
What has been introduced is a bleeding/bandage system.
Another feature is the ability for your weapon to jam.

Weapons don’t “JAM” anymore!! Noob!

This feature is configurable from a 1:0 chance to a than 1: ∞
Currently this feature is set to 1:300

When can this “Jam “ occur?

Basically, anytime during a map.
It may be your first shot or your last shot on the map.

Ok , what do I do to fix this?

Well the “Magic Key” a.k.a. “USE” key which is commonly mapped to “F”.
Allows you access to various functions.
The first time you hit the “USE” key the option is to bandage.
The second time you hit the “USE” key. The option is to unjam your weapon.
When you find the option that you want. You release the “USE” key followed by pressing and holding the “USE” key while the option is still displayed. You don’t release until the desired action is completed.


So you are now bleeding like a sieve.
What you need to do is hit your "Use" Key. Normally the "F" key once.
Then hit and hold "F" again to start bandaging. The time to bandage is relative to the amount of damage you have taken.

Right! Birdie Explains it pretty well.
He also explains how to unjam your weapon.


Ok, what else.. I mean what about them early nades?

Hey, great question!
There is a feature that disabled nades and all explosives for a set time.
There are some issues with the C4, RPG's and claymores.
If you try to use any of these before the timeout allows you.
Currently you can lose these for the round.
AFK players can now be monitered and either moved to spectate or removed from the server.[

WOAH! That's lame!!!!!

Now perhaps it's the most ideal situation. But this has been partially addressed with the next version. Explosives are still disabled for the timeout but you can plant claymores without losing them for the round.
Hey now that reminds me claymores are currently set to FF=ON.
So please coordinate with your team on where you are planting them. So a teammate is not killed by an explosive device that they are not aware of.

User Issue 1: Download Loop
This isssue has yet to be tracked down.
For now the .iwd file for the specific map in question.
Can be placed in the mod folder for CoD4. The mod folder run on TG CoD4 servers is named "tgtrm1.7".
Example: C:/ProgramFiles/Activision/Call Of Duty 4/mods/tgtrm1.7
Placing the .iwd file in the mod folder is a stopgap while we track down this issue.
Note you may experience some charachter models to change colors from Black to Yellow when you get close to them. This is specifically the result of having the mp_pripyat.iwd in the mod folder. Because the creator of pripyat has a custom skin for the Radiation Suit.

User Issue 2:CL_CGameNeedsServerCommand: A reliable command was cycled out.
This is THE most common error you will receive with any custom server running CoD4.
The only way to fix this is for IW to patch the game.
Unfortunately, this seems less likely with each new patch.
A simple workaround is to hit your console/tildekey "~" on the top left of your keyboard under the escape button and type: /reconnect.
This will automatically reconnect you to the server you just got disconnected from.
