Your games are awful

Titanfall, AW and Halo were your main games? /facepalm

That's because that game is HORRENDOUS! Awful, awful game. Never again.

There is a Stinger but unlike other BF games, the rocket type weapons are Battle pick up only. It is much faster paced but it works. It's unfortunate that you gave up after just 8 hours, only played Conquest and majority of your time is with the mechanic
class, worst in my opinion. Try some other game modes, they are quite entertaining.

This game is far from being a Call of Duty clone. The vehicles and destructible environments still make this a way better shooter than all those CoD types. As for the explosives, you have to unlock them or find them on the map. Once you start ranking up
you can unlock the ability to have vehicles spawn with explosive types like Stingers or RPGs in the trunk of your car. Which is perfect since you can just drive around until you find a large vehicle or Heli and pop out and open the trunk and gear up. And as
the others have posted, the other way to get the heavier weapons is battle pickup and every map has multiple spawn points for this gear so there's that too.

Hardline isn't for everybody. Its alot different from previous Battlefields like BF3, BF4, or Bad Company. It opts for fast paced action over heavy hitting vehicles and weapons. Most of the vehicles are fast cars, police interceptors, SWAT vans, and small
helis. And game modes like Hotwire offer some great new Battlefield moments, just in a different way. I definitely recommend this game to anyone who likes Battlefield, just know that its a different kind of animal.

There are still stingers on the map... There posted on each map in 2 different areas...
