Re: Claymores
OMG I had 128 kills with sentry in 2142.
The other auto-gunning drone is next-to-useless Accipiter. I already forgot about it since it is so utterly useless.
TF2 also has drones, and they are upgradeable.

Because it seems to me that you are arguing against your assumption of how the weapon works, instead of the actual weapon.
As Youster said, nobody had a problem with it except for its x-ray vision.
The BF2142 sentry is an area denial weapon just like a mine, except that it is less lethal and requires more clever placement.

Splinter Cell uses this I would think.

Those are not heat seeking AI tracer dart, you have to at least aim.
What I am talking about is a sentry gun that automatically shoots enemies when in sight with out you having to do anything afterwards.
Originally posted by YosterIf you played 2142, you know sentries were very well balanced to the point that there was never a single complaint. Both users and victims see it as a uncontroversial weapon.

You could use it to cover your flank, giving you time to react.
Or you could place it near you to add it to your own firepower and distract the enemy.
But it was balanced since it was very visible and killed slowly. Another bonus point was that it was given to the support class instead of the camper class.
I know the military is researching autonomus weapons systems to replace the unpopular mines, so I hope that we can see something like it in BF3.
The one bummer about the sentry was how it could see enemies through the Titan corridors (couldn't hit them at least but it acted like a ghetto IDS). But I guess that speaks more to the flaws of Titan mode than anything else.
