Stealth bomber is infinitely more useful than a Pavelow in your typical hardcore match. Hardcore you need to use all the one shot streaks, not the styaing ones. Air strike, Stealth Bomber, Predator, etc (though pred is hard to use b/c they are all coldblooded.) i've played entire matches of hardcore where no kills were to be had from choppers, harriers, pavelows, etc b/c everyone uses coldblooded and then ignores the air support.
Doubt it. It obviously can't be rare if he saw it twice in one day. I've played over 400 games and a friend of mine has played over 200 games and it never happened to both of us.borsdy said:
I'm not saying he's lying, but probably someone got a 25 killstreak and he just missed it.

I just switch over to an anti-air class with cold blooded on, it does still amaze me the amount of people who just can't seem to be bothered to shoot down the enemies support.
Edit: Can UAV's be downed with a stinger?

Ditto.. Heli's only last more than a few seconds when they're on the other side of a building and I can't locate down them prior to getting shot up.. I definitely prefer to take out a heli versus getting a regular kill.. 150 more XP IIRC. Harriers are more, I think.

Good to know, thanks (never seen anyone bother shooting these down either except me the long way)

I'm always surprised at this. I was playing on Rundown and got a missile, harrier, pave low combo. Then after I died I got another run going and got to the pave low again. Finally someone figured it out that you could indeed shoot these things down. I saw the rocket trail in the sky but by that time the game was basically over. I went like 36-5... my best game ever.
I guess people just think that someone else will eventually take care of the situation or maybe they'd rather just hide. I dunno.

That's what I thought.. I can't remember what UAV's are, they're at least 100 XP. Either way, as soon as I see something up in the sky, it's coming down. Granted, most of the time I have cold blooded on so they don't affect me, but it usually is destroying our team who can't seem to equip a Stinger and take them out. That and it's tons of XP.

And the aim assist fucking up my knife kills (thnx 4 pointing me at the floor)
And I seem to be matched with people WAY out of my leauge all the time too. Where's the balance? getting ruined every match isn't fun.

The other day I was playing on Derail and I was using a stealth buildout. I tracked a guy into the back of the large building opposite the generators, and followed him upstairs. I caught up to him just after he stepped outside onto the platform and right as he was jumping trying to get down. I knifed him mid air and I landed on his lifeless body on the snow. Unfortunately for me, though, we both fell right in front of one of his teammates. I watched the kill cam after he killed me and the body of the guy I knifed looked like it fell out of the sky :lol

AC-130s are worth 400xp and UAVs are worth 50xp.kyo_daikun said:

Well if your buddies are higher level and you're lower level, you're going to be playing against higher level guys as well most of the time. That's just the way the matchmaking works. Otherwise you'd be in a party with several guys in their 50's and you'd be in your 20's, for example, and you guys would be going up against people in your 20's. That wouldn't be fair for them.
Edit: Oh you're near the same level. I'm not sure what the deal is then.. But the parties due throw a wrench in matchmaking because it's going to be unbalanced for someone whenever you allow parties.

For an AC-130 you need at least 2 people with stingers, usually takes 3 shots to bring it down
BigJonsson said:
This is True. One game last night me and some other guy ruined the air support of the other team.
They called in a harrier, pave low, chopper gunner, and AC130 - which all combined managed about 1 kill before they were shot down.
With Scavenger for your Primary Gun you can be comfortable devoting the secondary slot to anti air support.

Going through my Veteran walkthrough. Just beat the second part of the Favela level and hasn't been too difficult yet. Actually find myself enjoying it way more than my normal playthroughs.

Not really no
With a good team the air support is a non issue, just seems rare that I actually get put into a good team.

haha, I drive by the local airport everyday to work. The other day, I saw a plane in the sky far off in the distance. My first thought: "Fuck, let me get my stinger fast. Gotta bring down that UAV." :lol

Flares for air support seem to be pretty random. Usually an AC130 takes me 3 or 4 shots from a stinger to take down, but i was up against one last night that only took 2. It was great too because there was a random on my team yelling at everyone to get inside a building since according to him you can't shoot them down. 
Harriers usually only take around 1 shot, but there was one tough bugger that used flares and it took me 3 stingers to destroy.

Jesus Christ, I must have been up against pro's tonight. I don't think the team I was on in various matches won a single match. Got completely mauled.
