i use it to shoot stuff down, but also i use it to shoot people, like hitting the souvenir shop in Resistance from the cafe end of that street or to shoot into the stairs area from the doors in Arkaden among others.

I think it's probably getting to the stage where it's becoming a big enough aspect of the game that they need to think about stripping it out and releasing it as a stand-alone piece.
Zombie mode is great if you have a group of you. hate playing it with randoms though.

More clips! With the power of TrekBBS I may get up to 10 views. Maybe...
Let me set up clip 1, a normal FFA match... I toss a throwing knife into the dome on Dome, a barrel explodes completely obscuring where it winds up. Well, never wanting to be without my throwing knife if I can help it, I run in there mashing X thinking I'll pick it up. Right when I see the enemy, I think I still have my normal SMG, but as it turns out, I accidentally picked up a sniper rifle. Whoops:

Yeah, uhh, after the fourth kill I realized I was probably better off just switching to my secondary, in general I don't try to quickscope at all, but the situation I got myself in kind of demanded it.
Believe it or not, despite being stunned, almost dead, and very exposed, nobody managed to get in there to finish me off, I escaped the dome, stole someone's MP7 extended mags and grabbed another 10 kills in a row which helped power me to a 30-4 victory in about 3.5 minutes.
The second clip is a crazy little mini-spree in Gun Game, for those who never played it, everytime you get a kill you switch weapons and whoever gets a kill with weapon 18 wins. Usually for me this means I get a kill, and before the weapon switch animation finishes someone shoots me while I'm defenseless. This is probably the best streak in close quarters I've gotten in that mode... sadly someone got me before I could exercise my quickscope skills some more, but this did help propel me to a win in game that I was handily losing beforehand:

i used Xfire to capture the theatre playback and uploaded it on to their site.
i did, it just didn't really do much. really should've called it after i planted the IMS before i ran away.
yeah. still counted for the challenge though! 
Fair enough, I focus more on the piles of dead bodies than the challenges. I had a MOAB once that went off just after I got a final kill with my gun in self defense. I don't know if there are any MOAB related challenges, hopefully it counted towards it if it did, but I found the whole thing rather depressing!
there's a hidden challenge to get 15 MOABs total. it's not visible in the Barracks, like some other challenges.
Well, looks like Elite on the 360 is going t1ts up.
The May content drop apparently is;
15th - new game mode, Faceoff, complete with 2 free maps for all 360 users
22nd - 2 more Faceoff maps, 1 MP map, 2 Spec Op missions
Thing is, the stuff on the 15th is going to be free to all users, and the stuff on the 22nd hits the same time as DLC collection 2 on the 360, hence non-premium Elite members will be able to get all of the stuff from the 22nd drop that Elite premium members will be getting. So what exactly is the point of Elite? Where's the exclusivity thing gone? Laughable!
Considering that we were looking forward to 4 new MP maps, and now we're getting 1, and a new game mode that's going to be a boosters paradise? Great.....

Well, on the bright side boosters spending more time in 1v1 modes rather than normal modes is kind of nice. Then again, I haven't run into that many boosters. It's been a couple of months since I noticed any.
A hidden challenge for MOABs doesn't do much for me. Apparently there is no associated title. So what's the point. I guess there is a set of exclusive titles that you earn through Elite clans. Ugh. Pondering if it's worth joining one to get them. I occasionally get the fanciful notion that I'll unlock all the Titles, Emblems, and Accolades. It annoys me that for stuff you haven't unlocked it says "Classified'. I could cross-reference with Internet lists but it just gets too annoying. Besides, you just know there are some that are tied to ridiculous numbers, thousands of headshots with each weapon, etc...
Anyway, back to the Elite thing... I always looked at it as a way to purchase all the content packs at a discount. If anything the piecemeal distribution annoys me. As does the exclusivity. Anything that splits the player base bothers me, which is my main reason for wishing the old school PC model of free map packs still existed. 15 bucks every few months for a map pack is a non-issue financially for me, but it does the community zero good.

I haven't noticed this. Doesn't mean it aint happening. I'll have to check-I haven't carried a Stinger since before my first Prestige. I opened permanent blind eye/assassin and gave it up.
I like the Smaw. Nothing pisses an enemy team off more than when I toss a grenade for a kill, blast two more with my tubes and then whip out the smaw and get a fourth kill. All without firing a shot.
well, i've started using a Stinger now and haven't been using the SMAW much. i set up a new class of PP90M1/Stinger, EMP nade, throwing knife, Blind Eye Pro/Assassin Pro/Stalker Pro just to shoot down a helo for a daily challenge since i couldn't get a damn SAM turret before a helo was up and when i had the SAM turret, some asswipe destroyed it before anyone had a helo.
apparently, though, two Stingers will wipe out an entire Strafe Run and you get streak points for it. twice now i've shot down two helicopters (i thought) and wound up taking out all of them and then got at least one streak point to put me up to 5.

anyone ever shot down a care-pack helicopter before?
i was playing a GW-Domination match on Seatown and there was a Cobra and an AH6 Overwatch up and i took out the cobra, was trying to take out the AH6 and instead shot down a care-pack delivery chopper!

I've done that before, and usually while I was trying to shoot something else. It's not worth shooting them down in general because by the time your missile hits, it'll be right over where it's trying to drop the damned package anyway, and it ends up landing a couple feet away.
With headphones it's pretty easy to hear where a care package marker is being thrown, so usually I just start running in that direction with an aim to steal the care package. Once I clear out whoever called in the package, I'll check what it is, if it's something fairly lame like a UAV or a sentry or something, I'll just use at as bait. But it's always nice to steal a Pave Low or a Juggernaut

yeah, normally i don't bother, i'm more interested in stealing the crates - especially in MW2 since crated rewards count toward your challenges - but this was just a fluke, i was in the alley by the steps up to the tower, looking toward the market for the AH6 and saw the Little Bird crate-dropper, my Stinger locked on and i fired and THEN realised it was the enemy care-pack dropper.
