Has anyone else have this problem?

When i get a 4 or 8 kill streak and try to call in the care package or the 4 pack air drop, i throw a hand gernade instead, but then when i try to call it in again, it comes up "No equipment available"

Why is it doing this? My mate can land crates all match long and i cant get one. Is there a problem or do i need a class perk to reactivate it?

How do i fix this as its getting annoying

Check your key bindings. You might have grenade throw set to the 4 key.

Are you sure you're not confusing the care package smoke bomb for the grenade? Also worth bearing in mind that if you're going to drop it indoors, make sure you look up and ensure there is a skylight for it to fall through, always raises a chuckle to see someone running around below a package that they'll never reach as it's got stuck on something.

Best way to deploy them is to crouch down and drop it directly at your feet, that way you'll know that it isn't going to roll somewhere it could get stuck.

Then watch as it lands on your head and kills you! hehe

hehe Only happened the once, although I did have one where I chucked the smoke onto a hill and the package rolled down towards me like a snowball, gathering pace until it steam-rollered me and some other pikey took it.

Stealing them from the other team is the best though, saw one guy sneaking over to his yesterday, shot him and then proceeded to turn his own helicopter on him.

Its on ps3.

It comes up care package, and has the symbol on the screen to show it, i click to throw it and i throw a gernade. Im not a retard as i managed it fine before this crap started hehe before you all point and laugh at me!

When i respawn i get the voice saying care package ready for deployment etc. But the above keeps happening.

Mines fecked.

Every time I try and load up an online game, the loading bar doesn't get to the end and consequently freezes my PS3.

So are you 100% sure it's a grenade? As it does look a bit grenadey until it lands and then starts pouring red smoke.

Otherwise I'm not sure what to suggest.

You press the normal weapon fire key to 'launch' the care package smoke-grenade (R1)... Confused me a couple of times that one.

I've had that a few times and had to completely restart my ps3. I think its something to do with losing contact with the host during loading.

I love stealing care packages.
My best steal yet was a pave low yesterday.
I was getting care packages all day long yesterday.
Quite funny as my second gun is a stinger so i shoot anything down before it kills anyone usually, yet i never seem toget anything shot down!

I use semtex, its quite hard to confuse the two, as said not being special hehe
Thanks for the ps3 snipe as well. You get this problem on xbox? Also as i have already said, my mates do not have this problem with their ps3s and we play quite alot in the same party so i know when they have a care package.

I click to throw the smoke for the care package. It throws a gernade. I try to throw the device which is in my hand and it comes up "equipment unavailable"
