C4 Issues

Re: C4 Issues

Ah I have so many C4 memories. One time there was a T-90 harrassing some teammates so I run right up to the front of it and hop on, then as I'm running over it I'm dropping C4 right on top of the turret. Then I jump off and blow the hell out of it as I'm hopping over a barrier. Yeah, I had to change my pants after that one.

Too bad C4 is so much slower now... I basically don't play Spec-Ops anymore or just Jihad Jeep if I do. The other classes are much more compelling.

Re: C4 Issues

C4 is pretty useless now, all you can do is rig flags, wait for people / tanks to run in to it, or run up to a tank and put it on it where most times hes gonna spot you..

people just Claymore whore instead... GAYMORES

..... that's what C4 is used for in real life(well, maybe not the tank part)

Re: C4 Issues

I put 1 C4 on a tank once but I thought it landed on the ground.
Then I turned and saw that the C4 was FLOATING a foot away from the tank but it was still moving with it.
So I blew the C4 and got 2 kills.

Another time I put 3 C4s on a tank.
Then he drove up next to his APC friend and I blew them both up :)
I then turned a corner and what do you know. Another unsuspecting APC.

I don't like it when you put C4 on a tank then click the button right as he shoots at you and it doesn't go off.
You hear the beep and then you're dead with no kills.

Re: C4 Issues

Use that wrinkly gray matter floating around in your skull.

C4 was over nerfedIMO. It takes ****ing 5 full seconds to plant 2 C4's on a tank, and then even more time to run away like a flaming bitch as he tries to blow you away. :hmm:

ROFL!!! Couldn't agree more. I like the M4, but that is about where it ends for me.

How is it useless ?...b/c you cant be a C4whore and hurl it ?....if it still goes **BOOM** then it can NEVER be useless.

The only thing that needs to be changed about C4 is that you should be able to stick to an unsuspecting enemys back, wait for him to be around 2 of his buddies and pop it.(i know im dreaming but hey it still rocks)

I agree, you're comment about C4 puzzles me.
Edit**
Also, you listed some uses for C4 in your post....so it can't possibly be useless....

They didn't nerf the Spec-Ops class, they added a new requirement...SKILL..and I am noticing that allot of the Spec-Ops players I have played with/against and allot of the ones that post here DO NOT meet this prerequisite. I strongly believe that the game is balanced (for the most part) and its the players that are at an angle(myself included).

Right....You can toss an ammo bag 20 meters and a grenade 50 meters....but a C4 pack that weighs about 20 oz you throw that and it falls at your feet. Boy, I can see the type of skill you are refering too. You have to be uber leet to use it for anything other than rigging flags and destroying bridges.
I suppose jumping and throwing medkits and ammo packs was n00b too huh?

whats the range for the remote?

Re: C4 Issues

Go jihad jeeping, I got #2 overall from jihad jeeping. You only need to run away from your own vod for about a second to not suicide. MEC is really boring, so I think I'll start jihading more often lol

Re: C4 Issues

C4 is still great, even without the throwing. Still effective against tanks. But I would like, however, to be able to strap C4 to my body. Wouldn't that just be cool?

Re: C4 Issues

If you don't like C4 now...then too bad, whining isn't gonna solve anything.

C4's aren't made for tanks, they are made for Commander assets. for bridges, and that's about all I can think of.

Mines are made for protecting roads, AKA the river in Karkand, AT Kit is used to blow tanks away, and infrantry is for infantry....simple.

Re: C4 Issues

It's still better for defending a flag against an encroaching APC/tank than the missile launcher. It's a BETTER point choker than it used to be now that you can't blast it with a tank shell. You can still use it to turn DPVs into missiles. You can still booby trap enemy vehicles. You can still blast people trying to go GTA on your spawn point with a buggy. You can still blast bridges.

In other words, just about everything it WAS useful for, it still is.

Re: C4 Issues

only when you throw the greande 1st then jump if you try to jump then throw a grenade it wont let you.

What? I do that all the time. All you have to do is pull the pin, hold the mouse button, run, jump, and released the button and it throws. DICE specifically left that in so you can increase the distance you can throw the grenade.

I also think we should have been able to stick C4 to people. I think DICE was just being politically correct and didn't want people playing suicide bombers. If they did, you'd have Senator Lieberman and Sen. Clinton screaming about how the game lets you play as a suicide bomber.

I agree, I've gotten a lot better with C4 knowing I can't run and chuck anymore. I find C4 is the best for playing lone wolf. I do the team a favor, if I see a tank I take it out. It's a lot more fun now trying to sneak up behind a tank and plaster it. I'd share some secrets but I still enjoy driving tanks.

And *$%& yea I wish we could c4 people. I think they had it planned in the original release but took it out last minute. Man c4 a medic and wait for him to go heal his squad....that would be so gratifying. Or C4 with timers. Add more strategy. I could even go for C4ing myself up and run around....how about that for a MEC unlock?

Side note: don't think I'll be able to get my c3 vet/expert anytime soon. At least not without messing with my stats.

Oh think that was good? Wake as PLA, at the north base closest to the carrier. A Cobra was hovering a bit too low, I ran up and plastered the cockpit with c4, then ran off and boom! I nearly ****ed myself, because the gunner had the gun pointed at me and probably was like "wtf...."

Best moment ever, wish I could have saved it. Afterwards we were all laughing about it cause it was so random how I popped out at the right time to plaster them and run off.

Re: C4 Issues

Guys you got it ALL wrong. Thread starter is upset about not being able to detonate C4 while jumping. Not only that but I think spec ops should be allowed to detonate C4 while running. I hate having to have to slow down just to press the EASY button.

C4's aren't made for tanks, they are made for Commander assets. for bridges, and that's about all I can think of.

C4 is made for all of the above, not just assets and bridges. Otherwise the feature wouldn't be there.

Someone who gets it. They added the ability to stick the C4 to everything for a reason.

It's useless against gophers too.
