I usually have an Anti-Air class set aside with a Stinger, like a good team-player. (Though most of the time I seem to be the only one) Something that always made me frustrated was when there was an 'Enemy AC-130 Above!!!' Fire both Stinger missiles at it, then run around like a mad-man trying to find a 'blue backpack'....
Then, Last Night I was playing around with the Javelin Launcher, AC-130 is called in by the enemy, 1-Shot downed it....The very next game this happened again....
Maybe i'm just an idiot that I didn't know the Javelin could do that....But I can easily spare a class to be Anti-AC-130....

Javelins are hit and miss with that kind of thing. Sometimes they bug out and hit it anyways, but they are supposed to be redirected.

So I decided to try for a Bling Holo/Silencer FAL, and figured I'd need something a little quicker in case I ever got myself into a tight spot: picked out the raffica and put a holo/silencer on it, too. Now I never use my primary
It was the best thing ever during the days of care package glitching. I'd routinely launch them at wherever they were congregating, usually at least a double kill.
Bah, 20 minutes of "Incomplete Installation (3)" errors. Which is apparently a Steam connectivity issue. Anyone else seen this error before? It came up after I did a "Verify Integrity of Game Cache..." after getting the old "could not sync with the steam cloud." Nothing wrong with my internet connection or Steam connection for that matter, as far as I can tell. Other steam games are fine.
EDIT: guessing there was an actual service outage since there were only 300 TDM games up when I finally got back in two minutes ago.

I really oughta play with you guys one of these days. I haven't played with anyone from PA since Halo 3 was brand new, and even then it was only a few times. Except for Sinjis (who I haven't seen on here in a long while), who happened to join a game I was in and completely rape me over and over with his akimbo MP5s or... Mini-uzi or something. I like to pretend I'm a bit better now, though.
GT is Mercy XXVI, and I have about 372,142 available friend slots, so feel free to add me.
So went prestige the other night. Felt good. Not sure if i'll do it again mind.
I prestiged a few days ago, myself. I feel like I pretty much have to prestige once more, at least. I really dislike the icon for 1st Prestige. Is this a stupid reason? I can't help it.
Kinda late to the javelin discussion, but I recently discovered that they can lock on to vehicles (or at least helicopters) through buildings. handy if you can see the blades but there is something blocking the body of the copter, or if you're just REALLY good at guessing where something is behind a solid wall.

My friend is working on a roguelike game you can play if you want to. (It has free demo)

Once you pop you can't stop.
I figured I'd prestige once or twice and now I've been telling myself I'll be done at 5 but I like the 6 and 7 icon and then I'm just so close. I'll probably end up going all the way. I enjoy filling bars.
ooo, oo stop at 9, just in case you want to prestige sometime in the future then you can still do it. Also, 9's symbol is fucking sweet and ten's is fucking stupid.
Also, mirage, okay i've been macroing random shit but what else is there to do? I wanna do stuff. Help me! name is trinasty

You'll probably feel the same way about the second prestige icon pretty quickly also =(

If I could pick any rank icon again it would definitely be the default 5 stars.

Josh, get your xbox back! I am not 10th i'm still lame-o 8th...I think i'm like level 60 or something.
Sanguine you traitor, UO really?...Is it good? haha can a laptop that runs WoW on crappy settings run UO? Monthly Fee?
Yea i'll try to get on tonight because I need a break from Hitman(which is really fun). Gotta show up some people with my P90 w/ Silencer. P6 and P7 icons are the worst looking I ever saw, I honestly couldn't stand seeing myself in the lobby with that ugly trash. Thank god the P8/P9 icons look totally boss, the P8 looks like a beefed up P5 icon.
Random xbox question: I need to get a new HD due to lack memory space. If I buy a memory card along with a new HD can I transfer my stuff from the old HD to the new one via memory card? I'm talking about the 512mb(I think that's right) memory card for Xbox.

Every lobby I have to deal with someone singing "I'M THE SCATMAN" or the song itself. And it is never sung right.
My name doesn't usually get any attention, but I had this one guy start talking as soon as I joined the group.
He's like "MrSquig? More like MrSquirt..."
He then went on to talk about specific bodily functions for some period of time. It was kind of icky.
As for the origin of the name, I was reading a lot Warhammer books when I bought my 360. And I've always liked the line from Lion King "They callllll meeeeeeeeeee Misterrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr PIG! Ahhhhhhhh!".
I'm just waiting for someone to say Waaaagggghhhhh! ... but I don't know if it will every happen.
tridus, use a memory stick to xfer the stuff. you'll kill yourself if you have to xfer via a memory unit. By the way, you could also just redownload all of the info.
by the way, Scatman, I always thought you picked that name because you just really like poop.

Gasman is a nickname my dad and uncle have used for as long as I can remember. It's a play on our last name (it begins with 'Gas..'). Now that I have a son, I figured it was time to claim my share of the title. Since he was born on 12/20/2009, I went with Gasman122009 (I can't even describe how surprised I was when Gasman1220 came back as taken. I had to stare at the screen for a few moments just to let it sink in.).
So what appears to be a fairly silly name is actually pretty sentimental.

Then I went 30-4 on Wasteland. Booker can vouch!
Anyway, more XBL people needed!

My GT is based on an auto-suggestion, but it's nowhere near as cool: StumbledTuba, but my friends call me FallingInstrument.

I would not pick 10, 3, or 5.
You know the one. I think it was 5th.
Honestly, I think P5's emblem is most bestest.
I feel like I can't get enough class slots in this game
I refuse to prestige any higher then 9 though because 10 is UGLY

8-)
And I tried out the thermal on the MG4 last night when you left, it was usable, but I feel more comfortable with the holo.
EDIT: Can't USB sticks be used for memory now, Tridus? That would be far better than those rip-off memory cards.
