why didn't you call the bastards and complain? I think they still ship boxes to your house and send you a refurb. (this is because I'm not a tech-wise person lol )

Hah yeah, I hear you. One of my first MW2 experiences was getting rocked by a dude with AA-12 w/ Extended Mags...so I've worked towards that ever since. 10 shots from an AA-12 can be powerful, esp since it one-shots ppl and the gun is auto. When I go Prestige I'll abuse that for a while so future leveling becomes easier. Is the Stinger the one with the white crosshairs and the green light? I thought it circumvented flares bc it strikes from above?

That's the Javelin, the Stinger is a Fire & Forget missile system too and I think better than the Javelin as you get two missile instead of the Javelin's one. I usually snipe on "Rundown" and I use the Javeliln in random directions when I can't find anyone to shoot. Sometimes I get double and triple kills with that thing.

I believe the special extended warranty only lasted 3years. My system hit that mark on Oct. And I never got a refurb, they "fixed" my original.

Do you use Scavenger when you snipe? If you do, that might make a Javelin worthwhile.

In other words: the Stinger challenge is a pain...

Yeah, I do use Scavenger, the only problem with that is if you need a second missile quickly you need to hope you luck into find one. I've got 157 HC shot down and the limit if 250 so hopefully I'll be done soon, I'm really looking to get most the the call signs and emblems. I can't wait to get the call sign for Sitrep. That and One Man Army are my last two perks I need to max out on.

I never use it, but you really don't have to to complete the challenge. You just need to get kills with it equipted as a perk. It does come in handy if you run out of bullets like I used to do when using that useless Scar-H.

Hmm...am I missing something? Is this the same Scar-H with a great iron sight, decent power and accuracy?

The Scar-H can be frustrating when your in a longer than usual firefight, hell any gun with low ammo capacity causes me to turn off my mic so I can cry like a *****.

One man army + tactical insertion is the only time I use either. For example High Rise, get on the roof, use tactical insertion, switch to my sniper class and camp. My sniper class also has one man army just incase I run out of ammo.

It's not even talking (I'd only end up yelling at ****** players), I mean... 1.) A smart player would've flanked 2.) A decent player would lob grenades first before rushing in 3.) A person with a brain would stop running into shotgun bullets after the 3rd or 4th time I'm not sure what's below that but they were definitely my teammates. Also, am I the only one who has never gotten the red ring of death? I guess I'm lucky... EDIT: cod mythbustersWow, banana leaves.

I'm at about level 26 on Prestige 1. My friend just started on Prestige 2, didn't get anything for going to the 2nd round of Prestige.

As I see it, there's really no point in going past level 70 on Prestige 1. You get an extra class for getting to Prestige 1, but nothing for Prestige 2. I really don't want to have to unlock everything again.

It's taking forever having to unlock everything again for my primary. The 40 bullet penetration kills while using FMJ was a ***** to get the first time around. I'm liking the SCAR better than the ACR this time around. I'm thinking SCAR + extended mags > ACR.

The M1014 shotgun + extended mags is ace.

I'm going to do prestige until I max out. I don't care about losing all the guns and stuff, because the only gun I use is the SCAR, and it's unlocked at level 20.

Also I got my longest kill streak yet this weekend: 24 kills

I also got 2 head shots with 1 bullet.
