Re: Claymore is so stupid!

You can pick up claymores with engineer kit... try it out it's usefull.

Re: Claymore is so stupid!

This is a HUGE problem considering the absurd amount of claymores sitting around flags now. There's no way to counter them except to die, even if you saw them well in advance.

Great job, EA/DICE! You guys are ****in' morons!

As i said engineers can disarm them with wrench.

Re: Claymore is so stupid!

yes so one of your claymores is wasted...but thats a lot better than getting a TK from it too.

But if that claymore was your only defence to your rear, you would get a bit because one of your teammates took your claymore out.

Yeah its quiet a paradox. :cry:

Well, that's nice and all...if you're a ****in' ENGINEER, or actually have one around you (which is rarely the case). Think before you post, seriously.

Re: Claymore is so stupid!

Don't think I have seen more claymores after the patch than before to be honest

Re: Claymore is so stupid!

Well i use engineer kit so no prob for me. Unless i accidentaly don't disarm from behind 0_o

I would like you to follow me around in every game of BF2 I play from now on. We can be best friends.

Re: Claymore is so stupid!

I think with this one that EA have proven to us that the top guys in their execuative leather chairs make all the gameplay tweak desicions with little or no communication between them and the development/testing team.

This one is a no brainer it really is, not being able to nade mines is just so unbelievable stupid there fails to be any real way to truly express its total stupidity.

Take the tower in Ghost town for example, lay 2 claymores at 2 different levels and simply snipe from the top, theres no way you can be attack from behind without getting at LEAST 2 kills.

And dont blame this on "whiners" who wanted it so team mates can't set of friendly claymores, they never asked for them to be indestrucatble to enemy fire, these are 2 seperate issues.

EA really dropped the ball with this one.

Not on claymore but mines, I was playing stalemate the other day and a tank came rolling past (I thought oh no), stopped, the engineer got out to dismantle a mine, leaving me to take his fresh tank, he wasn't pleased when I gave him what for with the main gun!

Re: Claymore is so stupid!

My personal opinion is that c4 should be able to be used to clear mines, claymores and othr c4 charges... We already have the engineer who is able to disarm them (well not the c4)...

But as stated above if claymores are placed in a corridor so there is no way to get behind them there is no way to counter them. C4 can be countered by killing the Spec Op, mines can be countered pretty easily by the engineer, but a claymore in a corridor, well unless you have a suicidal squad member you will have to find another way...

I suppose the question/debate here is whether this is a good or bad thing...

Re: Claymore is so stupid!

well I quess with all the C-4 chuckers GONE!!! most of you guys will have to find something eles to bitch about and it looks like you have already (only took a day as well)
Claymore = new C-4
dont blame EA, blame all those whiney little bitches who complained about idiots walking into there Claymore's and AT-mines.
Seriously guys did you think for a second that the C-4 chuckers were just gonna put down there remotecontrol and C-4 and pick up there rifles...
NOOOO!
Now that claymores only get set off by enemys well you get the idea.
GG bitchers GG

It's not idiotic to bitch about the mines or C4 then or now. The solutions provided by the developers is unsatisfactory and deserves criticism and discussion.

I do however think that mindful servers will enable the FF on claymores.

[Bob_the_Insane]

Re: Claymore is so stupid!

Coming from another Mines thread, it would appear that if FF is off for mines you no longer see the red cross symbol and friendly and enemy mines look alike... So in the above situation where the enemy have saturated an area with claymores it could well be worthwhile planting your own claymore just outside the area. The enemy will not be able to tell the difference and will most likely run stright over your mines...

seeing as how this game has gone so far with the patches and such, that surprises you?

Re: Claymore is so stupid!

Don't run into claymores. There's a solution for you.

I haven't had a single problem with the claymores (not even the normal amount of TK's :)) since the patch and I don't really understand why you should be able to disarm them. If the enemy has trapped the flag, then don't attack there. Same thing with AT mines; if the road ahead of you is mined, find another way. That's one of the purpose of AT/AP mines strategily.

Oh dear I hope DICE gives every unit a remote control to kill all enemy vehicles because sometimes they're defending flags and it's hard to attack against them with a sniper-rifle...
