[Squirrel!]

Hello all,

First post and all but have visited this site many a time in the past few weeks for my MW2 updates. Seems like a good place to get a civil response to any MW2 questions and am hoping to also add to community as time goes by.

Anyhow back to my question, what does the javelin do exactly?. I fired the bad boy at a building; it proceeded to fly out hit wing of the aeroplane in front and killed me straight away. Next try (after moving slightly away from the wing) it flew out up then down, In the mean time the person I was firing at has a cup of tea, 5 minute nap, brushed his teeth, scratched his arse then moved away in a leisurely manner from target thus causing me to miss. Ok I thought, lets fire this bad boy at a chopper, still no joy, the missile just flew into distance. Has anyone discovered a practical use apart from making cool explosions?

Cheers

I think your using it in the wrong part of the game.

I would recommend you take it to the Track and Field part of Spec Ops. Might get better results there.



PS have you 1st thanks on me, see how it feels having one but not earning it!

PPS Liking the name! Whats your GT?

Have you held it at the target long enough for it to lock on? Once you've done this, and fire it, you can switch weapons - it automatically targets what you've aimed at. Often they can miss if the aircraft you're firing at spits out chaff (AC-130 and I think the Chopper Gunner both do this).

Stick to the stinger. Can only be fired at vehicles but usually does the job with one shot. Don't see why you would want to fire a big rocket at someone anyway, just shoot them

i love trying to hit people with the javelin, when it works its sooo satisfying as its not like an rpg which you can see coming. its pure death from above

I've never used it to be honest. I kept hearing a wooshing sound and wondered it was, obviously must have been people with javelins going crazy

Can anyone tell me what the tactical flair stick is for

Do you mean tactical insertion? It allows you to respawn in a specific location.

excellent when used on High rise , saves running across the cranes again

Proper beat ha

I just unlocked the Javelin last night, had a few blasts with it and quite enjoyed it like. Only tried it on ppl running round

Seems like its more flair than of practical use. I think your right about sticking with the stinger, simple yet effective boom stick.

Thanks kavan

Also brilliant on Domination where you can drop it next to a target you are trying to take then you spawn straight back there when you die.

The javelin is funky, cos you cand use it on campers on buildings and stuff but have 2 rockets better than one, so the stinger is the better weapon to carry :D and AC130, Pavelow and Chopper gun all have the anti missle cahff stuff. I find with the chopper gunner and Pavelow it takes 2 stinger to take down, one to get hit by chaff and one to destroy. As for the AC130, the only time i saw it go down was when 3 of us wer rocketing it, they arnt easy, but i think you get 3k xp for nailing one :P

Does yours do this?

I've gotten several kills with it just pointing it at a known camping area. I'd love to see their deathcam and hear what they are yelling at their TV.

Lol if the rocket had fired when i span round

I think he is having the same issue though!

I think that's probably Predator missiles
