In the mission, Rock and A Hard Place, the stinger missile is missing.
I have reloaded the mission several times, even restarting it and it is still not there. What should I do?

Hi wolfpanther93!
Here is a solution for XBOX 360/PS3. They are aware of the problem on PC aswell and they working on a solution for it.
PS3:
- Disconnect from the internet completely
- Delete Game Data Utility for Battlefield 3
- Restart the console
- Launch Battlefield 3, install the update from disc (!), go to Campaign, select Replay Missions and select => ‘A Rock and a Hard Place’ (Please note that you will have to play the level from the beginning)
- Once the level is completed, you can reconnect to the internet and re-download all of the updates
Xbox 360:
- Go to System Settings -> Storage -> HD -> Battlefield 3 -> delete Mutiplayer Update 5
- Launch Battlefield 3 and continue your game, the Stinger Missile should now be there.
- Once you have completed the level 'A Rock and a Hard Place', you can go back and re-download Multiplayer Update 5
PC:
We are investigating some reports about PC user having this issue.
If you having this glitch, please provide us the data about your system. We are looking actually how many PC users are suffering from this issue and working on a solution.
/update: The PC workaround is not working as a solution. The studio is aware of the situation and is working on a fix for this problem.
- With kind regards, Timmie.
Timmie, for the ps3, the convoluted work around doesn't appear to work for everybody, and is NOT a solution. This attempt has crashed consoles, and at best has set them back to the beginning of the game, with no option to pick up at the "rock and a hard place" level.
Having said that, it's NOT the responsibility of the consumer to tweak, workaround, research, guess at or fiddle with a massive companies product to get it to partially perform.
So here's what I propose for all EA/Dice customers, the next time one of their faulty games is presented to the public for sale, we offer them $3.00 in Nigerian funds, and several hints on how EA/Dice can make up the difference in price by baking pies from home.
That would equal what we got when we paid hard earned money for a broken game.
