C4 chucking has to go in 1.2

Re: C4 chucking has to go in 1.2

Pentium, you should be sticking C4 to the sides of tanks, not the front or rear. If you having a problem with armour then you should really be using the AT kit, after all that's its purpose.

People say "but it takes 3 rockets to kill at tank," but if more players went AT rather than spec ops then armour wouldn't represent such a problem.

I've no beef with the more funny and logical uses of C4 - booby trapping vehicles, flags etc - these are perfectly acceptable. It's the Vistrels of life.

Auto-ER- don't be a sit-down comedian all your life.

Re: C4 chucking has to go in 1.2

Get over it dude, and face the fact that Spec Ops is THE best choice for taking out two APCs and a tank with all engineers in them fixing each other. AT is useless agaionst them if there's only one, and more people use their rockets against infantry than tanks anyway. And it's retarded, yes retarded to make it to where a grown man can't lob a 5lb block of C4 over a wall because I bunch of whiners can't deal with it.

Re: C4 chucking has to go in 1.2

I understand that people can't deal with all teh different types of playing and tactics for killing the enemy, and want this to be a more simulation orientated game, that uses group strategy and tactics, but it's not always.

I know in real life no one is going to use a grenade launcher from two feet away, or throw a pack of C4 twenty feet then insta-det it on a group of enemy, but it's a game, and a game with over 200,000 online players, so you'll never be able to make them all happy, and they all have a different style of playing, and different ideas of what should and shouldn't be. The best solution is to adapt to the game. There's MANY options for everyone as far as servers go. There's plenty I have played on that will kick/ban C4 spammers, play those (BF2gaming.net/No Whoring is one I believe that's right). If you go into a 24/7 Karkand expect t00bers, and chuckers, because that's the rock they live under.

Re: C4 chucking has to go in 1.2

When something that is so unbalanced and exploitable that EVERYBODY starts to do it, it completely unbalances and game and make it less fun. It can't BE any more obvious.

You get blown up with C4 every 2 seconds on every map that you play.

It's a problem. EA knows it's a problem. They are trying to fix it.

It will be gone.

The only people who are whining are the C4 chucking noobs...they are trying to defend this lame tactic and are attacking those who are trying to have it removed.

Re: C4 chucking has to go in 1.2

It's quite clear that the majority are in favour of C4 chucking to disappear. I fully expected the players who's favourite kit is spec ops and favourite map Karkand (i.e. you (Auto-ER-) and Vistrel) to come in here and vehemently try to defend your bunnyhopping C4 throwing style. The only difference is Vistrel's competent at it and you are not. From looking at your gun stats it's clear you're no use with them and laming it up with the C4 is your only salvation!

Really? Find me online one night and come find out for yourself :) And at least the majority of my kills aren't in vehicles.

Re: C4 chucking has to go in 1.2

Definitely being abused by the kiddie corps. Even more ridiculous when that is all someone will do for a whole map without drawing their weapon once.

Hell, i'll do what I can to find some players from here online. I've played with a few, but it seems rare, more fun though when you can. And looking at someones stats and then trying to insult them using them is teh ghey, simply because they do not tell you HOW a person plays. Most of my C4 kills are from booby trapping places, and hitting up armor, yea, I've chucked, I would say it's safe to bet that every single person playing that has gone for the EO badge has. I got mine with only a few chuckings the rest were quite honest.

Re: C4 chucking has to go in 1.2

How much C4 could a Specops Chuck if a Specops could chuck C4?! That is the real question :)

It sucks but isnt it going to be tougher to hop and throw stuff in 1.2? can't shoot and hop so i'd imagine this'd be pretty hard to do also.

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.

The v1.2 video floating around shows that C4 is thrown VERY far despite the new fixes. C4 chucking may actually become WORSE after the patch.

Like I said, come find me, you'll more than likely get blasted in the face with a shotty than C4'ed. Don't make accusations, and imply that someone can't play, or plays a certain way then back down with a cop out like that, if yer skurd, say it, if not than don't imply some BS. You have no idea how I play and don't pretend you do or accuse me of some crap if you ain't got the balls to come find out.


Talus, it's hard to tell from that video, but it looks like they nerfed the insta-det (have no way of telling what the guy was trying for). If so, than that's good enough to kill them before they blow it, and still maintain the fact that a grown man could heave a 5lb block more than a couple feet.

Re: C4 chucking has to go in 1.2

C4 should come with a sling attached to it, so you could twirl it around and launch it at your enemies via centrifugal force.

Seriously though, C4 chucking is kind of lame (though I haven't seen it become too big of a problem). Really, when players are going to such extremes to avoid using rifles, what does that say about the game?
