I had planned on doing some nodez but when the app kept telling me I needed to join a clan and I couldn't see what nodez were available I gave up and killed some dragons and made out with a not-Spanish lady as a 7-ft tall horned woman instead. :shrug:

Well if you're going to do me like this, I didn't give the entire story. Quebec took the node first when it was only worth 13 points. They held it all weekend so it reached the max value of twice the starting value, which is 26 points. They lost the node on Sunday and we made enough progress to reach 29 wins out of 45 to take it. The second place team only had 24 points compared to first place's ~400 points. All we had to do was get another 16 wins in Dom at that point to take second place. We did not and ended tied for 4th or 5th with zero points.

That would be the combination of "two square inches of open sky per map" and "a stinger that takes 2/3rds of the lifetime of a UAV to pull out, lock on, fire, and wait for missiles to travel that far."

That's probably it. I'm just used to hearing "enemy uav spotted", looking up, and shooting it down in one quick motion. I feel like I have to traverse the map in this one just to find uav's this time around.

Only emojis can express my pure, simple stupidity.

Yeah every other game I had a SMAW equipped on every class and it seemed like it was a race to shoot down UAVs

In this one the problem is all the poo poo that's already been said and that there's a 50/50 chance you'll get killed. Maps are so small and people are zipping all over the place constantly

They really need to buff anti-air. Can't remember the last time I saw someone shoot poo poo down

I thought about running an anti-air killstreak class with an LMG and whatever the SMAW equivalent is

The launchers could definitely use a buff of some sort- unlockable attachments for faster missiles, faster lock on, or target highlighting would be wonderful and I'd take a pick 13 slot for one of those. I don't even care about the UAV's actual effect, I get worried about the assist points that the enemy racks up by having one out and have been shooting them down ASAP to prevent from getting steamrolled. I'd kill for a SAM Turret in this game.

My dedicated scorestreak class is:

XMGs, rapid fire if I have it unlocked
Stinger
EMP Grenades
Trophy System
Flak Jacket, Low Profile
Fast Hands, Blind Eye
Hard Wired

Pretty much equips you to handle any kind of scorestreak scenario. Fast Hands in particular is big for getting the stinger out ASAP. I'm not sure if the Pytaek or the Ameli are better choices for shooting down scorestreaks with bullets, but I only ever use the XMGs for Warbirds really.

I was playing solo for like an hour and a half, and I seemed to be the only one on. No worries, though, I beat the crap out of pubbies in HC Dom. Got 53 kills in the last match on Greenband, 20 from Warbirds and 14 from Assault Drones. The laser thingy is so deadly in HC, it's fantastic.

Also, if we're talking about shooting down scorestreaks, the laser thingy can take out a Warbird pretty quick.

I've shot down warbirds and UAVs with the XMGs, but I don't even get hit markers on paladins with them. I thought I did at one point a few days ago, but I tried yesterday and didn't get any.

Speaking of paladin's I got to listen to dumb pubbie logic earlier while playing solo. I got a care package and dropped in right on top B so that it was an obvious trap. I die before I can pick it up and think "alright pick it up moron. It's trapped." The following conversation happened between a couple guys playing together on my team:

-"poo poo this dumbass dropped a package right on b."
-"Oh drat it's a paladin. Get that before they do!"
-"poo poo poo poo I swear if that dumbass just gives them a paladin I'm leaving."
-"loving dumbass. Alright I got it."
-"Oh poo poo there's another one!" *care package explodes* "drat it was trapped. Glad I had flak jacket."

Stingers lock onto people fyi. They'll never get buffed because if a zombie boat tier player can get triple kills already it's fine.

I was playing dom on solar the other day and a guy on the enemy team had lots of success using the stinger on someone capping b and then getting triple kills from the splash

Yeah it works really well for long lines of sight. Occasionally you'll see a guy try to snipe you and then you're firing a barrage of missiles at him. Glorious.

Wait, the stinger is now basically the Javelin from MW2. If that is a design decision and not a mistake I would almost want to play a COD game again.

It can lock-on to aircraft and players however it takes a stupidly long amount of times to lock-on to either. But it sure does feel satisfying to get a successful lock-on kill on a player.

It's better than the jav. It fires four missiles straight at people. Blak, take fast hands. It makes pulling it up quicker. The aim time is the same but anything helps.

The 360 got the patch that increases the points for capturing objectives today. gently caress. THAT. It is a system hack->war bird->bombing run train now.

Edit: Also UAV's. It is futile to try to shoot those down now because there is an average of 5 out at any given time.

You don't need to shoot down UAVs when you can't be seen by them... :smugbert:

Think of it this way; why pay a point to shoot down one or two, when you can pay a point to negate them all?
