Grenades

[Gamerguy X]

I played BF2 a few months ago. No one ever used grenades. It was a rare sight.

I picked it up today for the first time in a while. Holy God. 9/10 deaths were from grenades.

For the first 5 minutes of Karkand, no one shoots. It is just chucking grenades.

Another anoyance is these stupid claymores. Oh man, I spotted dozens of these, but I couldnt blow them up with a grenade, so I had no choice but to take a chance (usualy I died) or find another route. I would rather give everyone a PKM then have these invincible (no way to kill them but to walk in front of them) bombs.

ok. im done ranting. thoughts?

Re: Grenades

If you see a claymore anywhere, anytime, (unless you saw it laid by a freindly) do yourself a favor and press caps, click suicide, and be happier than if you hit it.
Grenades on the other hand can be avoided and are lots of fun to use.

Re: Grenades

claymores arent THAT bad. if you spot them, its usually pretty easy to avoid them.

not to sound like an ass, but they took that out because it was stupid. an engineer can disarm a claymore from the rear, and if not tough, find another route.......

Re: Grenades

Uhhh...yeah. The fighting is so intense you'll usually forget looking out what's below your feet. It's usually when you spot a claymore that it's too late.

Only for friendly claymores which is only usefull when Claymore FF is on.
No one ever, and I mean ever disarms claymores. Simply because they do not know they can.

Yes, in the first 5 mins of Karkand it is all gernades but I usually stay alive until the stupid armor comes

Re: Grenades

disarming claymores is kinda pointless its faster to just kill yourself with it and come back or wait for someone else to walk into it

Re: Grenades

i agree...the nade throwing is ridiculous...some ppl do nothin but nade entire round....

claymores should blow up from explosives.....ppl place them in the stupidest places and u can go around em, only other way to get rid of them is to drive over them, or take one for the team and run inna it...

Aye, I definitely have to agree with you on this one. Before the 1.2 patch people placed claymore mines strategically and were ocassionally well hidden. After the patch, people place them in the most blatant places showing that they don't care about strategy at all, but want quick points. Often times it's easy to avoid them because they are smack dead in the middle of the street.

The grenade throwing can be bad on Karkand. I really don't see a solution to this other than using flanking maneuvers. Hopefully people will be smart enough to either do it or follow your lead.

Re: Grenades

The problem with claymores is that you can seal off an entire pathway using them. If I place them in the middle of the street, there's only one way to take them out without someone dying ... driving a vehicles near it. It doesn't matter if it's obvious or not. If you have 10 snipers on a full 64 player server ... that's 20 claymores that are laying around. And if the map is very linear, it becomes a huge problem.

To make matters worse, if someone dies, their claymores stick around for quite a while and they can place new ones (no 2 claymore rule in effect if fyour previous claymores were from a previous spawn).

Claymore should be destroyable by grenades, period.

i play on a sever with ff off, and i was still able to place 6 claymores around the map...i guess they didnt fix the gltich, plus claymore are the best because they're like c4, but only really hurt infantry like grenades
