Woop! Claymores have a max count of 2? I think not..

[[MyIS]Spetsnaz]

Don't know if this was posted already, but I'll have at it.

Was doing a few rounds today and noticed that I could have up to, sometimes 5, claymores down at once.

It seemed completely random to me. Occasionally the old ones would disappear, but plenty of times there were more than 2 down. I would guess that would explain the sudden surge of [MyIS]Spetsnaz [killed] PoorGuy type messages that are happening alot with claymores if anyone has noticed.

So case in point, I had more than 2 claymores down on many, many occasions and they had kills. Am I misunderstanding the way the new patch should work?

misunderstanding

patch gave only 2 claymores at spawn

its just like engineer in bf42

you only get 4 - but you can put down 7 if you rearm.

same with c4 and mines

in bf42 - engineer puts 8th mine down - first one disappears

i believe the same is with bf2

Right, but we had 2 in our kit before the patch as well.

Isn't it because when you die, the claymores you've placed don't suddenly disappear? And when you respawn you get two more; that totals 4 claymores in play.

the new patch restricts the number of claymores you can have down at one time to two.
If you try to place three one dissappears. It is the same thing with mines and C4

Well then there's a bug :)

I clearly had 4 claymores down at one point of the round. It was in a secluded area where no one else lingered. Even if I was mistaken there, it continously happened for a few hours.

Correct, but they don't disappear immediately, it is after a minute or so

peace

Mine disappear immediately. Max of 2.

i hate to tell you guys

but when i kill a sniper i have to wait a bit to climb the ladder he claymored - even today.

maybe its a graphical thing where i just see the claymore - but i'm too chicken$hit to try =)

I was playing tonight, laid a Claymore, killed a guy with a knife, was killed, re-spawned as Sniper and was just heading out when I guess someone walked into my Claymore because it said I had killed someone. The strange thing is that in the upper-right is said I killed him with a knife? I didn't even have my knife out at the time.

I have got claymore kills after I have died, & I have lain fresh claymores next to 1's that I laid before I respawned

What I am not sure about is if i got a kill w/ an old claymore after I have lain new 1's

peace

[fore a lot]

2 instead of 5 is because they want you to make the best use of this 2. protect yourself while sniping. not to spam the choke points such as flag area.

It's ok to make FF=Off as it is now. but the CM should be able to blow the person who place it.

I think you people are really misunderstanding me here...

I know that you're supposed to have 2 claymores down at a time .. no more than that.

What I'm saying is I had up to 5 down a time.

All I know is that the mas a sniper can have down at the same time is 4 but only in the case where he lays 2, dies, respawns and lays 2 more.

The first 2 will stay active for about 30 seconds or until his kitbag disappears.

I don't think anyone else has reported being able to drop 5 thoug.

Can you do it whenever you like?
