Re: Claymore poll

I forget in which patched they first introduced the change...but back in v1.0 all mines and claymores would kill friendlies and could NOT be destroyed. Claymores were rarely used and when they were, they were used intelligently.

Ah good...someone else who remembers them being indestructible from the get-go. At least now I know I'm not crazy (or if I am I have some company ).

Re: Claymore poll

..but Pyura is right...Colin recently mentioned that claymores will NOT be changed anytime soon...for the same reason they were changed back to being indestructible..

Not surprising, considering Colin himself admitted he's always a sniper and likes to stay away from the action and pick at people, that he wouldn't want them changed, I suppose. :p Then again, if they aren't changed (not saying they should be, mind you, this poll was just meant to see how many people liked the current claymore situation in contrast to other alternatives) in 1.4, I highly doubt they ever will be. I think we can all pretty much count on 1.4 being the last BF2 patch, unless there's some fatal error released with 1.4 that makes the game unplayable (even more than 1.3 I mean ), so I wouldn't be surprised if what we get from 1.4 is all we'll ever get before they pack it all up and move on 100% to BF2142. Probably why they made it a huge open beta and all.

Re: Claymore poll

The way they are now is just right. It forces players to be careful of blind corners and cooperate with medics. In general it reinforces the concept of cooperative teamplay.

Re: Claymore poll

I used to love deploying claymores in offensive positions back when we had 5. Before they were over abused.

Personally, I think claymores should be triggered by friend or foe. They should make no distinctions. Same with AT mines. Really, people need to be held responcible for their actions on the field. And since I play sniper a lot, I do not like seeing snipers in the thick of it, just running out in the fields of fire to drop a claymore and scrurry away for an easy kill. I think they should have the risk of loosing points by taking that type of action. Plus, when a sniper gets on a crane or secures a latter, the threatens his own teammates by that action.

Turn FF back on!

But, I do want to bring up the old idea of different colored skulls to represent different types of ordnance. If some of you recall the old debates about a Red, Blue, Yellow skull for Mines, Claymores, and C4.

Re: Claymore poll

FF on, but don't allow people to punish for the TK

That's really the best option considering they won't make them destroyable, one of my favorite servers has FF on for claymores and mines, so much nicer that way (though you can punish for the tk)

Re: Claymore poll

I think ff should always be off then there would be no tking for vehicle and no blue red bug tking.

Re: Claymore poll

ok....claymores....right now suck.....

stupid idiots place them anywhere, in plain site, in the middle of corridors, and doorways.....ridiculous....no thought or care goes into placement.....idiot sniper douches like to walk around backwards with claymore out whenever they encounter an enemy....lame state of nubbiness right now....

i think the only reasonable solution is to make them destructable again..its common sense.......FF should be server setting.....

this would force ppl to place them strategically....out of sight....and when a friendly sees the claymore warning, can disable it, and have access without causing a teamkill.....

im sick of people saying 'just have a medic nearby so you can set it off and get revived'.....thats just retarded......why should some idiot douche claymore spammer get 2 points for being a lame retard jackass...??? it makes no sense that the game would be so rewarding to noob behavior.....

Really, it seems like there is more animosity to claymores now, then there was back in the glory days of the GL. Don't gimp the claymore, just force snipers to be responcible for where they place the damn things.

AHAHA, dont make me laugh. they were barely ****ing used at all. nearly nowhere to put them because at some point a teammate would go past one and punish.

Yeah, that was the point he was making, actually.
