Anyone complete Hardcore mode?
Any tips?

I was on my Hardcore play through and everything was going fine. I was thinking hey Hardcore isnt so bad afterall.
Then i reach the part where the game introduce the stasis and there is this necromorph running through the field.
So it was like this is easy, aim and shoot a frozen necro. Wrong!

The statis wear off instantly and the necro lunges at me. Well, you know what happens next 

And there was once right at the beginning, where you gotta run from the necromorphs. I made a wrong turn and yea, you know what happens next 

@Kidicarus - Truthfully i actually have the Supernova pack DLC thus i do have a head start. I am using the forged plasma cutter and the forged engineering suit giving me extra damage and health bonus from med packs. And after all this arsenal of "cheats" in hand, i still died

Heck so glad to finally be able to see that orange bright light of the store. Finally i can show off my forged suit and plasma cutter. Those necros are gonna taste that sweet beam going through their hands and feets.
Opens door and OMGWTFKNNBBQ Tripod!!!

@wunan - Well, i am starting to think that DLC doesnt really give you an extra advantage in hardcore

Seeing that Tripod laying dead on the floor give me a sight of relief.
The nightmare isnt over when necromorphs and lurkers start swarming into the residential apartment. Glad to see my lovely plasma cutter doing its job well.

Then comes the exploder. It must be wise to use those explode pods against them. Effective and ammo saving. Good idea. Wrong!!

While i was holding onto a pod, another exploder came close behind me, and without thinking, my reflexes took over and i press the LT button.

During the lift ride from the mine where you get swarmed by necros falling from the sky, yea i died there.
Its funny because i still has like 80% health and this 1 dark necromoprh just killed me with 1 attack. 
Need to start from Chapter 7 again . I think the part i died was Chapter 11.
