Wire cutters!!!

[MarkHawk]

Simple suggestion I would like the communities response on it.

Replace special Ops. Grenade with wire cutters. It'll allow them to disassemble C4 (and only C4) just like an engineer can disassemble a mine. Im sick of capturing flags covered in C4 with no way to get rid of them.

And maybe shooting the snipers claymore mines make them go boom!

i think explosives should be able to explode other explosives....but wirecutters.....

eh....thats what the engr is for and he should get points for disarming stuff (dunno if he does or not)

[TGL|Badlizzard]

Yeah not a bad idea, the way things are now it is stupid, you can paste c4 to the front of a jeep and crash it into a tank to detonate it, but if you see a mine or c4 laying there, even a round from a tank won't make it blow up.

Wonder where the rock paper scissors is on that.

engey=disarm mines specops=disarm C4 Shooting a claymore=it falls over(or it could blow up :p )

How about this then, Fence Cutters?
There are lots of fences with no openings aroun urban maps...

Take Sharqi Peninsuela (I think its spelled?), The hotel where the chopper is located on the top of the building, around that area there are fences going all the way trough.
The commander assets are right in there and if u want to sneek in there a fence cutter should come in handy :P Dunno if this is a good idea tough, what do u guys think ?

I like the wire cutter idea, but why not just add it to the spec ops and not trade it for the nades, those are important. I mean engineer has nades and a wrench.

Think of it this way-- engineer:wrench :: special forces:c4.


Now on the wire cutters--it'd be cool if they could cut fences, but then a fence could be just a buch holes. Maybe they could go back to normal after a while?

I think planted explosives should blow up when exposed to other explosions. Maybe apart from mines as they seem to be made of metal and they would hardly keep people out then. And allready planted C4's should be able to be picked up by pressing the G button as you do to change kit. And engineers should be able to wrench hostile C4 like mines. Or let spec ops pick up hostile c4 too, if they are quick enough.

Fence thing seems pointless as there are many gaps allready cut in fences. And wire cutters would need some other purpose other than picking up/defusing c4. As the engineers wrench not only picks up hostile and friendly mines it repairs things. Wire cutters would do one of the 3. Maybe wire cutters could sabotage vehicles ( oposite of the engineer ) so when a player gets in it will blow up or instantly have 10% health.

That would balance it out exactly to the engineers kit but i think spec ops allready have many advantages, so im not sure.

What I am tired of is fences that can't be C4'ed. If you want it unblowable, then make them of steel reinforced concrete like most of the buildings on the maps, not wood, and not wire mesh those fences are just stupid.

[=HPSF=Dr.Doom]

Don't even need wire cutters. A knife should be able to disable C4. I mean if someone is brave enough to put their nose to C4 then they should be able to disarm.

[jnk]

Dude you would go up to disarm the bomb and blow up :O.

[GRyDLOCK]

Dumb idea. Why? Because by the time you're halfway into disabling the C4, the person who dropped it would have blown you up. No one would drop c4 and just walk away from it. And if they did, there'd be no point for wire cutters.

XD True..
Unless you get points for doing it, hmm what other things would wire cutters do, even thought using the knife would be better. Cut people?

[GRyDLOCK]

Yup. I like the idea of fence cutters though, that could make things easier. Sometimes its hard to find the gaps in the damn fences

[Wranger4400]

Yeah, that's not gonna happen buddy.
