They don't - but it sure helps the K : D.

You're telling me. There's nothing better than being on Afgahn having a 4 kill streak, calling in a care package that is chopper gunner and going to town. More and more people are carrying around stingers though. Speaking of which, the AT2 sucks, it can't even down a harrier or hind in a single shot.

I like open maps with cover in the middle. The best for me are rundown, quarry, and underpass.

Unfortunately instincts are hard to shake so sometimes I catch someone coming around a corner and they're about 20 feet in front, holo sight aimed and...

...I knife the air in front of me uselessly and get gunned down.

This happens to me too. Either that, or I try to quickly aim down but accidentally knife instead.

Srsly, it's not a good way to win. If you're not sniping on Wasteland, go AR + Bling and add a grenade launcher to it. Guaranteed success.

Unlocked the ACR and M21 recently. ACR has supplanted M16 as my go-to AR, and I can't wait to finish my M16 challenges so I can go back to FAMAS + ACOG (and finish those challenges).

Does anyone else like the M21 over the Barrett? Or ACR over SCAR/TAR?

Care packages are for search and destroy. The best combo is: Predator missile Pavlow Chopper Gunner or Pavlow Chopper Gunner Nuke Occasionally I'll use Emergency Airdrop for fun. Last night on Invasion, I got a chopper gunner, AC130, Air Strike and Predator Missile in one drop. No joke.

That's nothing, I once got a UAV, a Counter UAV and Two Ammo Crates.

I seem to have decent luck with care packages. Even though they aren't the best for regular game play, they are a lot of fun-even though there are much better kill streak rewards. I completely lost my **** the few times an opponent stole mine. I don't think I've been that mad in years.

I got back to back EMP's once. Emergency air drops are huge and I don't mind other people (teammates) taking a predator missle or an airstrike, but if there's a chopper gunner or AC130 don't even try for it. And yes, getting something stolen is the worst. Getting killed on the way to pick up a well place care package only to spawn on the opposite side of the map really twists my titty.

I'll add you later...name is the TheChompman, feel free to add me. Check out the Jabra BT2040. Works well for a $10-15 headset.

Opposite side of this: it's really fun to steal an opponent's care package--even if it's a UAV or Counter-UAV.

I'll add you tonight. Name is Sig_Sauer_P220 I use a jawbone bluetooth that I found in a parking lot as my headset. I don't think you really need anything fancy.
