Another source of enemy contact from the north hill defensive position is off the wood cat at right.  In this case it’s generally quite late in the game but not necessarily so.  The alert factor is this:  you will HEAR anyone walking on that wood if you have sound settings correct and especially if you are using a headset.  A headset is highly recommended for play and those players who use them have an advantage.

If you hear the enemy on the wood you should crouch or stand immediately and change to burst fire.  If it’s late in the game and you are sure it is enemy you can toss a frag over if you have one and try to kill him that way.  But that can be too slow and my preferred method is to throw over a flash then rush forward and right till enemy is in sight from brow of hill and mow his flashed ass down.  If there are still more enemy you can then retreat back to your lying down position.  WATCHING left and LISTENING right.

All this does not mean that you should never go forward at all.  In game play I most often go forward moderately early or more often mid game, moving on the cats to frag reported enemy positions at mid but then retreat again to the north hill position.  This part of the game is another thing entirely and the inexperienced should practice fragging on single player mode.  I may expand on this at another time but I will start off those who have no fixed blind fragging shots with one I myself use to great effect.  Go forward on the left cat keeping tight in against the wall until you reach ladder.  Always keeping tight against the wall step on to the ladder as gently as possible until your gun disappears.  When the gun disappears you know you are definitely on the ladder.  Then step back off the ladder as gently as possible until your gun appears again.  All this ensures that you are in a precise spot every time.  The shot will not work if you are not.  Once in position draw your nade.  Below is a screenshot of the drawn grenade ready to be released.  Note the position of the thumb just below the large icicle looking thing near the edge of the tower.
