Re: Care Packages

Yep, happened to me once and someone stole my AC130. Gutted.

There's a challenge for getting the last kill of the game by dropping a care package on an enemy, think that'll be more luck than skill to pull that one off.

Re: Care Packages

I heard about this before I even got MW2, so I am extra wary.

I did have to laugh the other day when I called in a care package.. I backed off but someone else was hovering around trying to steal it.. I kept my distance, but they stood directly by the flare when BAM it fell right on them.

I got my package and all they got was death

Re: Care Packages

If your care package kills an enemy do you get credited with the kill !?

Re: Care Packages

What is funnier is the amount of idiots who try and get them dropped inside buildings. They just end up wasted up high on a roof or on top of somewhere you can get to.

Re: Care Packages

Had this happen too! Had so many people take my packages if I'm under fire and can't chase to collect it instead of actually helping me out!!

Re: Care Packages

I forget the map, but I called one in, that then rolled down a hill and killed me.

I was chatting to one of my mates in the pub on Friday, and he was thinking it was a special grenade so every time he got a care package, he was throwing the flair at the enemy :D

I think I read somewhere the AC130 is the highest reward from a care package.

Re: Care Packages

There is a challenge in humiliation I think where you have to kill an enemy with a care package. That's going to be difficult!

I've managed to dodge all of mine at the moment. Gets harder when you call in an emergency airdrop

Re: Care Packages

I managed to drop one on Slinky's head the other night.

You'd think he'd avoid the red smoke before I end his 15 or something streak

Anyhow stopped using it now for the 7 11 25 rewards as it takes too long to come down only to get shot in the back and some barsteward to nick it lol

Not true - i've got a EMP from a care package which i stole - i expect that if possible the Nuke would be a very very rare occurance

Im so upset as I have pulled it off but I didnt have humiliation unlocked at the time

I was playing sabotage the other team were trying to defuse the bomb so I threw it near the bomb and took cover and it worked to perfection

Re: Care Packages

Some of these are quality guys!
I didnt know they could kill until reading on here about it but i have noticed they hit the floor with a great whack sometimes.
Ive always threw the signal flair a safe distance away!

Done exactly the same. Couldn't figure out what gun I was using and why it wasn't firing on the person I was aiming at. Wasn't quite the same as MW1, everything just seem to take longer to happen.

Re: Care Packages

My last 8 care packages have been Ammo!

Made even better by the fact I've got the scavenger perk enabled!!! Might as well contain tea & bloody crumpets!

Re: Care Packages

i've only managed to get one care package stuck on top of something, i was outside and didn't know there was a bridge above me.
anyone try shooting a care package down when it gets stuck?

also i shot down a care package copter but they still got their package, it is far too quick to take down before the drop.
