[Xbox 360][Campaign]Rock and a Hard Place Stinger missing

There is a point in the campaign in BF3 where we have to Grab the stinger and bring down the fighter jet, but in my case, when i play the campaign in the normal mode, the freakin' stinger is missing, there is nothing there, where the stinger is supposed to be. I have tried restarting the whole mission from start and it's still the same. Help?

This is also happening to me. Please fix ASAP. So frustrating not being able to complete campaign.
So either EA should fix or offer full refund for broken product.... 😕mileywink:
Update:
Just managed to get the stinger. Here's exactly what I did. But keep in mind I tried several times without it appearing.
1) Resume campaign (mission 10)
2) Press start -> select restart mission
3) Press start -> select quit
4) Quit to dashboard
5) Go to system settings -> storage -> HD -> Battlefield 3 -> delete mp update 5
6) Start BF3 -> Resume campaign

Good eveing,
I have never finished this game because when I get to level 10 rock and a hard place as I get to the end where the fast air is attacking everytime I get to the stinger it isnt there, it shows I am in the right place and watching online clips it shoud be there, but it isnt and nothing I do shows it, meaning I can not move on to the next level or shoot the jet down. Has any one got any suggestions or ideas?

This is happening to me as well (despite having completed the mission before on this very same consol/profile). PS3 players are having the same thing apparantly also. I havent played single player in months but this has happened since the update yesterday (dont know if thats what caused it)... Very frustrating as i cant continue/finish the single player campaign ☹️

EA needs to fix this right now... I am actually disappointed in BF3 now.

Will deleting this multiplayer update stop the multiplayer game from working properly?

Yes it will.. you will have to delete it and then redownload it. I deleted it, then when i started the game it said i needed an update so i accepted, then continued the campaign where i left off (the invisible stinger checkpoint) and the update downloaded in the background as i continued the single player campaign. Without the update you wont be able to play on most online servers, just a few of them.

How do you redownload it, will it automatically come up when you load up the game?

For anyone with a PS3, I deleted and reinstalled the game data twice and the level now longer even loads.
So like, dont do that. Currently redownloading the patch (because downloading 2GB patches is what you want to do every day with limited bandwidth) to see if that will atleast get it loading again.
Way to break the game...
