I always get killed with stealth bombers when I get close. It is without a doubt the most overused killstreak. They are too easy to get

[MetSox17]

For some reason, i'm terrible with stealth bombers. Very rarely do i get more than one kill with one, and a good percentage of the time i just completely miss.

Same here.

[eaglesalltheway]

Same with me, when I was screwing around iwth different packages I realized most of the killstreaks past 5 didn't get enough kills for me to warrant using them, so I decided to switch to specialist, and I've been doing well ever since.

So... Just bought a Steelseries Siberia headset for my PS3 to give my gf some peace and quiet time, but I have a problem. I can't get the game sound to go to my headset, it still comes out my TV speakers. Anyone here who knows what to do?

[Santonio10]

I like to use assault killstreaks. The killstreaks that worked best for me for a while were 5-Predator, 9-Reaper, 12-AC130. Now when I use assault its 5-predator, 9-reaper, 17- Osprey. Im starting to use specialist a little more

Did you plug it in?

I should refuse to answer that question, but since I'm desperate I'll just say: Of course.. It's really weird. I have a theory that says the cable is broken. I can't explain it anyway else, but I just hope that I'm wrong and somebody can tell me what to do. This **** cost me just over $160 so it better ******* work.

[bantx]

I think you have to have everything plugged in correctly and then go into settings menu and switch the output of the headsets I remember doing that with my Turtle Beaches.

[Razor]

Yeah... I've already done that, but the audio still come out my TV.. :/

[bantx]

so you hear sound from your headsets then right?
then mute your tv...

[bantx]

Everyone on PS3 add me! Tell me who you are from nfldc I may have some added and have no clue who yall are on my friends list.

PSN: Bantx
leave a message with he nfldc name when requesting I mostly play hardcore domination, but I'll play anything.

[WMD]

If you got the one made for the PS3, I don't see why it wouldn't work.. you might just need to trade it in for a different one.

[Razor]

I think it might be the RCA splitter at this point. I'll trade it or get my money back tomorrow. Thanks. I think I already have Nalej, bantx and Bosanac on PSN. To add me just add
rasmus_with

Just tell me you're from SWDC. I mostly play domination or demolition, but I'll play just about anything.

[eaglesalltheway]

Honestly, why would you want the sound in the headset? Too much sound going on right in my ear would give me a headache... Also, WTF, 160 for a headset?!?! I just use a bluetooth that I paid like 15 bucks for and it has been working perfect for over a year now (knocks on wood). And I was able to get the sound in the headset when I set it up, but chose not to...

Is there any reason you got the $160 dollar headset? unless you are a serious gamer who likes to make people think you have an Alvin and the Chipmunk voice, there is absolutely no reason to pay that much when there are much cheaper options out there that work just as well. (and apparently in the case of this headset, better)) Not trying to bash or anything, I just don't get it.

[Razor]

Believe it or not, but in Denmark that's one of the cheapest models I could find. I could've saved just under $20 by ordering online, but I didn't want to wait. I want the sound in my ears so my gf won't be bothered by the sound when I play. Usually when I get home from classes or work I don't want to study, I just want to sit down with my laptop or play some PS3. I'm definitely not a serious gamer, but I want quality hardware whenever I go out and get some.

[niel89]

I think that the Care Package is underrated. Now that you can't get crappy ammo, I get some cool stuff.

Most of the time I still just use the support class though. That recon drone give you crazy amounts of exp and is super useful for the team. I'm getting double the points of my nearest teammate sometimes and I got 20 assists one game.

[fenikz]

im still not quite sure how to tag people with it, done it a few times but i dont use support much

[niel89]

You just fly close enough for the targeting box to turn red and pull the trigger. The show up as a solid red dots that move on your teammates screens. You get 100 for each tag and another 20 for the assist when they die. Sadly the assists don't add to the point steaks.

If you have hardline pro, it should...

[MetSox17]

I thought so too, but it doesn't. They may need to patch it, because i don't think the assists count towards your KS with hardline pro until AFTER you're done tagging people with it. I end up with like 20+ assists and they don't start counting until my screen is out of the chopper. It's weird.

[niel89]

I always use hardline pro hmmm. I haven't played in over a week so maybe I missed a new patch or something. I would think that getting assists from it would be a little overpowered because I can easily get maybe 8-10 assists off one and then I would quickly get to the Osprey drop off after some more kills.

[Scotty D]

There was an update but not sure what it did.
