I don't think DICE will delete it, to many people like C4ing

Re: C4 chucking has to go in 1.2

have you ever seen a grown map lob C4 to kill infantries 3 feets away from you?

Haha, no. The problem isn't dropping it three feet, you can just left click as it is and it drops a foot or two away it's the guys that can throw it 10m and blow up a group of people without getting killed themselves in the blink of an eye. But if I am on the otherside of a six foot wall such as the one around the Square, and there's a tank on the other side contesting the flag, one should be able to heave a couple blocks over the wall and take out the tank.

Re: C4 chucking has to go in 1.2

I only really see c4 chucking on karkand and really only inside that first place near the hotel. I'll tell you the same thing I've told everyone else -- spawn elsewhere, go around to the back, etc. I haven't been killed by c4 in weeks now :P

Re: C4 chucking has to go in 1.2

If they made it so C4 could only be tossed a few feet (maybe enough to clear a wall say), even that I wouldn't mind. For the me, the real crux of the problem are the spec ops players that run round using C4 as their primary weapon - knowing that the worst case scenario when they meet someone is they take themselves out in the process.

This crack suicide squad mentality, which incidentally also happens with jets deliberately crashing into helos, is the frustrating aspect. Maybe if the penalty for suiciding was more severe this would prevent a lot of the irritating aspects of BF2:

GL from 2 feet.
C4 chucking at infantry.
Jets suiciding into helos.
etc.

All the C4 vidoes on the net that I am aware of predate the latest round of patch changes. C4 is being abused to the detriment of the game as a whole and is being addressed in 1.2.

I am glad to hear someone from DICE agree. Karkand is a goddamn circus these days.

Well now, that's the best news I've heard all day! THank you Demize99 :)

Re: C4 chucking has to go in 1.2

Uber, I guess the various levels of the ordinance badges don't help that though. The high prerequisites for these mean that the only way to obtain them is to abuse C4 for entire rounds.

Auto-ER-, I have no inclination to actively seek out another C4 Karkand player. There's enough of them already.

You are absolutely right.
I love when Im lobbing c4 over a wall and some guy whines about it, only to see him the entire round noobtoobing everyone. How is the c4 any different from the constant spamming of grenade launchers?
The c4 was placed in the game, Im gonna use it.

At least till I get that ridiculously hard to get badge

For those of you against the throwing of C4, consider for a moment if not for the rumors of removing this feature in the next patch, you would not notice such an abundace of people using (or abusing) it.

C4 chucking has to go but people with no skill with small arms can noobtoob to their hearts content????

I saw just as much abuse before the patch announcements. It has been common in clan matches for a while.

Re: C4 chucking has to go in 1.2

Auto-ER-, I am with you. As Cap`N Hagen said, "The c4 was placed in the game, Im gonna use it."

I just love killing 4,5,6 guys with 1 C4, and its even better if they whine about it.

New patch? I don't care. There are some things that are not going to change. Those who kill will keep killing, and those who die will keep whining.

Nice work, maybe you should mentor me

I'm inclined to agree here. Even though I deeply protest 90% of the common tactics used in BF2 (Close Range GL, C4 Tossing, Bunny Hopping, Dolphin Diving, Jihad Jeeps and Jets, SF Suicide Runners), I am still capable of surpassing their score using what I belevie to be solid/logical tactics.

I don't roll prone for every gunfight (I crouch). I don't play SF (Primary Weapon is way too easy to use). I don't run around in the open waiting for the first bullet to come at me being the signal for a firefight (I check corners, I move from cover to cover). I also don't operate alone (I form my own squad, {WP}Unit, and I lead the men/women who join). I also don't modifiy my perspective in vehicles as I feel this is unrealistic.

...yet through all of the limitations I put on my gameplay, with the intent of boosting immersion, I'm still able to come out with some of the most successfull ground pounder scores I have ever seen. Furthermore, my tactical mindset wins against the UT mindset 8 out of 10 times.

Basically, I say let people play the game they want to play. While I don't agree with their tactics and I consider the bulk of them childish and "immersion" ruining. They have every right to do it (Although, I will always kick for Bunny Hopping and Dolphin Diving on my own server. I don't have to put up with it there).

Can't agree more. Personally I don't mind it as it is now or the fact that a patch is changing it, it is in the end just a game...

By the way I am totally taking that for my sig...

Re: C4 chucking has to go in 1.2

You know, my K/D is not a great thing (1.35), so I die a lot too, most of the times for GLs, C4s, Armor, etc. but still I don't whine, it makes me feel stupid.

There's nothing stoppting me from selecting the ASSAULT class and killing the guy who killed me with the same damn weapon or whatever.

Most of the people who die for C4s and GLs are just too dumb to walk strategically in the map, avoiding the firefights (what sometimes happens to me too). The same thing for armor "whoring"; just choose a different spawn point or select the AT/SO class and kill the tank.

-EDIT-: Me too, I've stopped using even the regular unlocks (although sometimes I'll still use the DAO-12 instead of the stupid SMG). The "primary" weapons are just as good as the unlocks, sometimes they are just harder to use.
