Stinger seems to take most everything but an AC130 down in one shot, although that might have something to do with my using stopping power pro.


Came within 1 kill of a nuke today....ran out of bullets. :(

Stinger, Javelin and the first launcher you get all have identical stats, so it probably is stopping power pro that does it.

I'm loving the FAMAS. After a pitiful performance yesterday with the M4+heartbeat sensor I tore it up today with the FAMAS.

All I could tell was the little circle around the red dot. *shrug* Still, it's a bit easier to see, so I think it helps my target acquisitions.


OP, can add me to the xbox 360 GT list: gooberlx

Speaking of launchers, I unlocked the javelin last night.

Good god, this is one insane weapon. It's literally a portable predator launch.

You can lock on to any area, but it takes a few seconds. After that, you can run around a corner and it'll stay locked. Then you launch the missle, it shoots straight a few feet in front of you then flies way up on the sky, then a few seconds later it drops down like a predator or ac-130 cannon blast. Got many a triple kill with it on people bunkered up on a hill or capping a flag. I've also gotten shot trying to use it even more than that. So it's not the most effective weapon to kill someone in front of you since it takes so damn long and leaves you so vulnerable, but when it works it's unbelievably entertaining.

It can also lock on to air support but a stinger is still a better choice for that. It takes a very long time for the missile to hit it's target, and the chaff still diverts it. You only get one as well. But using it in ground targets is just so awesome.

It's not too hard to beat you don't even have to shoot if you don't want to, the outcome is the same either way.

Have to say, I'm finding the campaign rather... uninteresting. It's so on rails it's not even funny. And does it have to be non-stop in your face action? How about some time to slow down, take in the environments, make some choices here and there, etc.

Pressing the fire button is just like hitting the Play button on my DVD player. Either way, I'm just watching a movie and my only influence over it is whether it pauses or continues.

While I enjoyed the SP for it's "epicness" and locales, it was severely lacking in the storytelling.

I beat the game and I still don't know what happened or why some things happened. I tried listening to the radio chatter and all the "cutscenes," but it just seem like something was left out. That said, still fun as hell.

I'm one of the rare people who enjoy Domination more than TDM. If you're looking for another team member send me an invite.

I'm also looking for a decent partner for Spec Ops.

I found it interesting because I like when big things go boom. Other than that, you're right on everything. It was even more hectic than the first, you're always being pushed forward with more bullets and explosions.

I play domination a majority of the time. I also might be down for some spec ops sometime. If i'm on playing single player feel free to send an invite i'm probably just killing time searching for intel

Is Spec-Ops friends only? I started a MP game the other day and sat in the lobby for a good 10 minutes without anybody joining. Do you have to invite somebody?

Not friends only, there just isn't any matchmaking. I thought that was pretty typical for co-op games (except Left 4 Dead). You have to invite the person you want to play with. That could be someone you played against recently.

After about 6 hours played in multiplayer, holy crap is this game geared towards campers. I was a run and gunner in COD4 and can't adjust to this. Literally everywhere you go you are turning a corner that potentially has someone sitting there waiting. Either that or I just completely started to suck.

Meh, I do good when I run and gun, at least a 2:1 ratio, or more. I think you just need to learn the maps.
