I recently ground out 10 L96 kills in a metro match for the Karkand weapons achievement, only to find out that it's bugged and there are other secret bug hoops to jump through. Oh, Dice.

To be fair, I really wanted to stick with the KH2002 that entire round. I swear! But when the enemy team started using it, their fate was god damned sealed.

You and Revo are both good enough that you don't need the crutch.

The L96's sites aren't aligned properly so shots go too high when you aim. I'd not bother with it until the fix it, if I were you.

It's sighted for an open sight picture. The two dots on the circle line up with the two forks of the front sight, not the third dot. It was actually easier for me than regular iron sights that cover half of the target.

This is kind of the problem with the DART. Once one person starts using it everyone has to use it to stay competitive.

I've started avoiding Pope's playhouse due to this very reason.

The Dart is beatable, you just have to play more cautiously, to say the least. You'll get beat at 5-30 meters unless you're in cover, but outside of that you're usually golden; it can take up to four shots to kill someone beyond that range.

HML and the dude that uses the silenced P90 did really loving well against me when I was darting the last time I played with them.

Serious military shooter for the serious adult onset diabetes on the serious internets.

Also: I've barely played since the last patch but oh my god what did they do to stingers/iglas? Useless. Which, I guess, as a chopper whore I'm almost okay with except I never have anyone in my chopper wrenching so I get shot down by stupid faggots actually working as a team

They butchered the range on them. When you do get hit by one now, it hurts.

I just use my RPGs and one shot everything.

Really? For the better part of last night I couldn't get a loving stinger to lock on to this one dude in a littlebird for the life of me. We're talking not even a blip - he was WELL within range but I couldn't even get the orange box to chirp once. He'd be sitting there hovercapping, not moving, EXM Jammer had long since run out and... and.... aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand... loving LOCK UP YOU CHEAP PIECE OF SHIyeah I could have just RPG'd him in that amount of time

Did get a sweet sweet long range tank shot on him on the next map though. Couldn't help but yell FROM DOWNTOWN! after that. I love me some NBA Jam.

He probably had below radar unlocked. It actually works like it's supposed to now.

Most people realize that and just fly low. Which is great for the RPG. I do the same NBA Jam references. Kill 3 guys shooting down one helicopter? "BOOMSHAKALAKA"

Manatee Cannon

The thing about stingers is that they reduced their max range and fixed below radar on air vehicles. So if they're close to the ground, you can't lock on and if they run away you can't lock on. I like to use the RPG/SMAW but if you want a lock on the javelin would probably be better if you have a SOFLAM up.

He had Below Radar. Can't lock on under a certain altitude. Makes getting chopper camped on the carrier (that DICE removed the CENTURION from) as the US on Noshahr loadsssss of fun.

...I want below radar!! - Wait, but is it a perk that shows up in the three slots when you're killed by a dude? Cause he had Laser Sight, ECM Jammer, AA Missiles in that order on his (stolen) littlebird. And yes, it was Nosehair.

It's like halfway through the unlocks? If you're not a good pilot it doesn't really matter because it's not hard to just shoot you out of the sky with an unguided tank shell or RPG (one shot kills post patch). That's if you don't just hit a tree or something and crater, of course. It's dangerous to be that close to the ground for long. Doesn't do the stinger any favors, though.

Also keep in mind that a good hit from the canister shell will kill or disable you as well.

Edit: VVV Yeah I'm not worried about stingers locking on because I can just out distance their range, but I do worry about heat seekers and SOFLAMs.

It's a good thing to have when you start hearing that lock on. Just dip below radar and laugh when they can't do poo poo until a tank shell fucks your day up

Chilled-out entertainer.

There was never a centurion on the nosehair carrier. Pity really, because it'd be a fantastic balancing decision that'd drive players to fight away from the carrier.

I'm also down for BC2 fun whenever, cause I got it last week, and it's fun, innit.

It was me that bought the title. I bought it because you guys are such sperglord faggots and it is fun getting a rise out of people like that.

Also, in defense of my server, I will say that the intent of its creation was solely for the greater good of the community. I am sorry if some of you are too mature to find humor in the "bigotry" that is conveyed through the server messages and the like; I find every bit of it amusing. I have very much enjoyed my time as server owner; I enjoy playing with almost every goon that I come across. With that being said, every goon is more than welcome to join and I am sorry if some of you feel as though you are unwelcome. All of you are welcome. My only suggestion however is that before you complain about my server, consider working overtime for your job at the 7-11 so that maybe you can persuade your wives to allow you to spend a few extra dollars on video games this month. If you succeed, buy your own server or maybe a copy of call of duty because beggars absolutely cannot be choosers.

It disables in one hit, I guess. You're right though, I don't see much reason to use them. Also stingers were always garbage, DICE has just changed in what way they are garbage in every patch.

Wait, what? I've gotten a number of stingers to connect on choppers large and small, AND a couple jet-hits last night, but not one single igla/stinger disabled in one hit... ??? Almost every one of them flew off and healed up without needing to land (without an engy).
