Oh my god, I love the Rangers.
NEW FAVORITE SHOTGUN, FLAVOR OF THE DAY.
Also, shooting down the other team's Harrier, and subsequently their Chopper Gunner with an AC-130 is the pinnacle of hilarity. Shit doesn't even get to the map before it gets pegged with a 40mm. It only takes one.
Lookfreegrenade once knocked out an AC130 with a predator missile as it spawned. I doubt the guy even got to see the AC130 view before it was destroyed.
Can you actually destroy an AC-130? Once I shot one with 2 stingers and it started dropping continuous flares and left the map, I assumed that was the best you could do.
yeah pretty sure it has 2 flares, ive shot down a whole bunch.

S'alright. I just got frustrated and had to shut off the game. Ugh, remind me to never play the Domination playlist again.

Got in some good games tonight. Some with friends, some solo.
Over the course of ten games, got six AC-130s. Bumped my kill ratio up to 2.64, and got my thousandth TAR21 kill to complete the last Marksman challenge and level up.
On to my next goal, to get the Sponge challenges for that awesome shark mouth emblem. Shame that such a cool logo is associated with the shield and not airstrikes, etc. I've only used the riot shield for about one minute in this game's multiplayer, so this should be interesting.

I feel a little bad for not playing this game for around a week. I keep expecting that when I get back to it none of you wangs will be playing. I just can't help myself, Dragon Age came in the mail.

The shark emblem is indeed awesome, however, it is a well deserved mark of honour for using the riot shield.
In other news, shield bash most embarrassing way to die '09.
Those hackers you've been encountering? Ghosts of the dead hackers that VAC killed.
You can't expect VAC to handle hackers and ghost hackers, can you?
It's pretty amazing because MW2 is really the only online game I've ever played that had hackers in it. It's certainly the only game using VAC that has hackers playing it.
IW refuses to do anything about them because they hate PC gamers. And Valve isn't having VAC do anything because they respect IW too much to help PC gamers get out from under the oppressive thumb of IW's cold, uncaring malevolence.
I'd prefer giving props to the actual person who suggested the Predator Missile -> Harrier Strike -> AC130 killstreak rewards, but I have to settle with a thanks to people from the PA boards.
I never broke my best killstreak record of six until I used those three. I tore up a few games with that setup and raised my record to sixteen.

Imagine what "cheese' could exist if someone tried to copy Velveeta.
I had the best start ever in Afghan. Spawn on the hill side. Run to the big bunker. Thumper through the door, two kills, thumper again, barrel kill, run in, whip right, hip fire kill. Pull a 180, knife kill.
Then I got two more kills the rest of the match.

I've been running either Harrier/Stealth Bomber/AC-130 or Harrier/AC-130/Nuke whenever I play with PA. Works pretty well.
Also played a game before I went to bed where on TDM, the entire other team was using the javelin glitch. Huzzah.

I do stuff like this way too often, if it makes you feel any better. I'll start a match out exactly that way (or 11-0 on Scrapyard, ahem), and go the rest of the round getting absolutely raped by everyone on the opposing team. I have no consistency!

Scatman, it's like the game knew the patch would be released soon and so it wanted to send us off in one last glorious night of Javelin glitching.
Your tears are now twice as sweet as they were then.
Man, it will be the most satisfying thing in the entire planet when we see some guy running around with a Javelin, into a crowd of people, get shot, and simply fall over.
No massive atomic explosion of bullshittery, just death.
seriously what is the best way to kill a motherfucker with a riot shield? just aim for the foot?
I usually try to run around them and knife them, or just unload clips into them. I'm pretty useless.
I plant a claymore, then just ignore them and run away. They can't catch you, unless they stand up; that's when you shoot the fleshy toes. I only use stun grenades, so I also do this: throw the grenade so it hits behind them, then shoot when they raise/move their shield.
That raises a question I was wondering: I have well over 200 "most stun grenade hits" accolades and I'm only level 60 (pre-prestige). That's 200 out of maybe 350 games played. I take it that mean that not too many people use stun-grenades? I wonder why? I like them a whole lot more than flash-bangs. Back in MW1, i played hardcore exclusively (post level maxing), and stuns were great b/c of the little X that would pop up when you hit somebody with them. That's mostly how i use them now, as a "screening" tool to check around corners and in buildings. (you also get a shit ton of assists just by chucking them toward firefights that you're not close to).
You can, it takes 3 rockets I think. So either you need scavenger, need to respawn, or have 2 AA people to take one down.
Sometimes it only takes two. Not sure why, i think it's the angle wrt the AC-130. or maybe i'm retarded and didn't see another dude launch at it.
I know that I've been right under a chopper gunner that just spawned and killed it with one stinger (cold-blooded equipped, not stopping power pro. not even sure if SP-pro affects damage with launchers).

They've changed the Flashbangs to also cause that X to appear. In the capacity, they are now the same.
People don't use stuns because if someone is already looking at a door, you throw a stun through the door and it hits him, if you walk through the door he'll still eat your soul with lead projectiles.

If you shoot directly below when it's about 15 feet above you, the flares can't angle the Stinger away quickly enough and it might still impact. Have had it happen myself.
So the patch isn't fixing the aimbot/ wall hacks at all?
Ugh, so many games ruined because of obvious aimbots. This dude last night (I even remember his name Hard|Core) his reticle on killcams was literally tracking people through walls and jumping around the screen like crazy. So freaking obvious. Even his own team was pissed off and there was nothing any of us could do except leave the lobby.

The AC-130 has two sets of flares. If you fired two missiles and killed it, someone else already fired a rocket at it--probably before you looked up in the sky. The flares do reload so if you wait too long before that third shot it might have a new set of flares ready to stop you.

I used this emblem a good bit. I didn't even know what it was supposed to represent, till a buddy directed me to such an image.

Oh I know, it is just real aggrivating. The fact that the idjits don't have to worry about getting votekicked/votebanned etc just makes them so obvious about it.

did you also check for the glitch with the rpg, it supposedly was similar except it just left a single grenade just hovering in mid air like a mine.
