Some newb questions

Re: Some newb questions

1. Can you pick up claymores, mines, C4 once you've dropped them?

engineer can disarm claymores and pick up mines w/ the wrench. nobody else can. c4 never.

2. Any way to throw claymores?

no.

3. How many claymores to kill a full health tank? How much C4?

claymores wont hurt a tank. 2 c4 for a full health tank/apc/chopper.

5. Finally, I find that hostiles at a distance are just jagged polygons (4-5 polys). I tried fiddling with video settings but I can't find the right setting to bump up this attribute. I figured it was "geometry" but it had no effect. I hate changing video settings and waiting for all the resources to reload so can anyone tell me what settings are good for gameplay and what settings are just eye candy?

geometry is just land and stuff. up the resolution and draw distance. will tax your system though.

I've been playing BF2 for a while and am about middle of the pack during any given round. I've got a few questions about gameplay. I guess I could figure a lot of these out through experimentation but I'm sure you guys know the answer to these straight away.

4. I got the upgraded sniper rifle but I'm disappointed. Sure, it's more powerful but I don't find I can kill anymore effectively at long distances than the standard rifle plus, it's not semi-auto like the standard MEC and Chinese guns. Any comments? Am I using the thing wrong or something?
