Here's what I did-
* Ran up and shanked the guy in the closet
* pulled out UMP since its reload is quick and usually takes people out
* Took left hall, capped dude on the end, lobbed a flash just as the guys start coming out so it stuns them
* Cap these guys, try to get into the next room (this is usually where I would die a lot because my idiot teammates cant shoot for shit)
* In next room, wait until wall is ripped out, then lob a flash, work my way up capping people (this is death point #2 because of the shitty AI)
* Up the stairs, lob a flash on one end, then go down the other end, capping and hoping for the best (death point #3)
* Snag the flashbangs, lob one, and just book it (or walk, because sometimes my shit wouldnt trigger), capping people and praying at this point (death point #4)
* If you can reach the hostage, it's all cool, just wait until near the end of the countdown, the guy reveals his head wide open and one (or two) caps is all it takes
* Scream racial slurs and fucks and just hoot and holler because your TV and controller are still in one piece
