I don't think there is any trick to it, aim at the thing wait for it to beep lots and then fire. I hit things pretty much every time.

you know the ac-130 has flares that deflect anti air launchers right goofy?

Thanks, that makes sense.

fwiw javelins seem to be almost immune to flares, i've only had 1 or 2 that haven't hit their target

ya we crushed although i still think we're really weak on estate demolition when attacking. i feel like we're slacking a little on tactical insertion placement, i was seeing them on the lawn below the logs and they should be on the balcony above the logs, or in the bar downstairs. and definitely not enough smoke + not enough people going for the plant.

Those were probably my TI placements and I feel ****ing great about them kthx - especially the bar downstairs (in the basement?), that one is ****ing money

he is saying that the bar is a good place for TI, and so are you? wat

I just went 41-2 in a mercenary TDM on Favela. Two chopper gunners made it easy but <3 the AK-47 so much.

nice reading comp goofy o_0

well, pave low is the nuts. I finally got the M1014 shotgun so I was playing ffa using it exclusively (cuz I need 75 kills for the grip). Ended up getting the predator and another kill, got harrier then pave low. I went 30-0, and I think I only got maybe 7 kills from my actual weapon.

btw, M1014 seems awesome to me, I don't understand why there isn't more love for that thing.

so weird that I could have a 41-2 game on TDM and a 30-0 game on ffa and still get completely destroyed other games.

Oh, right.

I still feel fine about placing my TI below the logs. It's much less likely to get destroyed/discovered by the other team there imo. I saw a couple people camping the balcony where you put your TI today.

Unlocked the thermal on the ACR. I think that one is pretty darn useful for certain maps. I never really liked sniper guns because you're so vulnerable at medium to short-range, and often when you see a guy you need an extra shot and he runs away.

With the ACR+thermal you can just keep firing with perfect vision and no recoil, meaning you can get guys far away, even if they're moving.

And your eyes are also not so strained with the thermal, and it's sweet to zoom in and be very sure if there either is or isn't somebody there. That saves you time and makes you more agile around the map.

I think I'm gonna make two classes with ACR+thermal: one cold-blooded and one with stopping-power. Afghan seems good with stopping power. Subbase seems good with cold-blooded. Heh, maybe it could work on Scrapyard if you can look through the fire and smoke!

my TI has been destroyed there less than 5 times, usually by someone who killed me on that exact spot and knows im there. its a way better spot than below the logs, and not even close really imo

im more referring to the fact that im within 10 yards of the bomb area like 90% of the time and it feels like most of the time half the team is halfway between the target and the spawn. this frustrates me, as we should have 4 people pretty much always within range of the bomb.

i also think the default killstreaks for demo should be: uav, care package, and sentry. the sentrys are just crazy crucial for demo IMO. i feel like harriers and pavelows and the like should be avoided, uavs and sentries are way more valueable given their "price"

UAVs aren't that needed on demo... you know where the enemy is going to be coming from every single time.

if you're going to pub it up, 5-7-8 seems pretty good imo. it's super easy to get high killstreaks on demo.

the 4 green bars is a lie!

QFT, sometimes I get 4 bars and people are STILL shooting me from around corners, etc. Other times I get 2 bars but somehow manage to fire first in every 1v1 encounter, weird.

lol. encountered another *** nuke booster in ffa just a minute ago. guy went 25-3 not including the nuke kills. accomplice was 1-25. i wish i had a headset at times like these so i could berate them without having to type it out.

I'm still convinced that trying to plant A is not the optimal strategy on Estate. We saw that map what like 3 or 4 times earlier and we were barely able to plant against that many groups of ******s. And when we do finally get the plant off, half the team winds up going massively negative.

I'm not sure which other option I prefer yet though:

1) Camp our spawn and let the timer run down hopefully getting a few kills.
2) Plant B and make surgical strikes on the house hopefully racking up some kills.

leaning towards #1

Against a even a semi-competent team I doubt we get the plant off even half the time. And when we do get the plant off we've typically handed over enough kills that we'll have to try it again in round 3.

I wanted to play tonight with the 2p2 gang but goofy said no, called me some racist names, and said I should probably get aids. Not a very cool dude.

I did play one game and went 16-11 with a predator missle. Unfortunately I got killed by the same chopper like 5 times in a row at the end because it was on the map Afghan and they kept spawning me right out in the ****ing open. Fun times. I can probably get good at this game with some more experience learning the maps and stuff but I refuse to play by myself anymore. Probably half of my deaths are to some form of air support because my team is worse than me.

Anyways what's the deal with 2p2 parties, are they running every night? I miss the old days.

You need to get your reservation for the good party in pretty early.

i'll be around more soon enough homies. lots of family stuff goin on, etc. the only time i run good is when i'm 2p2in it up.

Yes, it's a glitch where ***gots force their private matches to accept players looking for public matches, and the game types don't have to be the same. I just quit a session where my last 5 out of 6 matchmaking attempts resulted in this. And yes, you get a loss.

lol, I was in a game when you sent me those messages and I'm pretty sure that's the game where I tilt-quit before the end

That was a ****ing clutch chopper gunner I picked up on Karachi though, in overtime in that match where we started with 4 guys vs their 6

Speaking of which, NEVER PLAYING HEADQUARTERS AGAIN
