Re: My war against the claymore lamerts .

Do you play alone? Or in a squad?

Re: My war against the claymore lamerts .

That's because the sniper class is rather weak. You have no weapon to really protect yourself as you move to a sniping spot, and you don't get crap for points..

Exactly. Claymores I think are supposed to be placed around a sniper to protect them from ambush but most people don't use them that way.

When I snipe and I get jumped by someone with a real gun, I almost always die. I tried to get a headshot but that rarely works because I suck and it's hard to aim up close. I have tried the SVD but again it's too hard to aim up close while someone is bum rushing you. The pistol is not match for a G36 or PKM.

Re: My war against the claymore lamerts .

PS - what's a lamert? And don't answer "it's you, dude!" Lamert sounds like some strange Belgian chocolate to me... "Oui, could I have a Lamert with my espresso?"

a lamert = bluebunny63

lamert comes from lame , lame is like lowlife stuff , so you can say lamert is lowlife .

and, I speak dutch not french .

Re: My war against the claymore lamerts .

Some of you guys must just be targets for claymores. After the patch I can count on two hands how many times I have killed by a claymore. I think in 400 hours ive only been killed by about 30 claymores. They have never served a problem for me. But if so many people are having problems with them maybe you should be able to blow them up with a grenade.

Re: My war against the claymore lamerts .

- you will only see me whining about bugs and claymores

- driving over a claymore won't explode the claymore, it only explodes if it's triggered by infantry character, so If you driver over it with jeep, and it explodes, it's because it's triggered by you, and you will be dead .
- and it's not like, ow, a claymore, lets take a jeep , there ain't 100 jeeps on a map, and jeeps aren't always there if you need one
- and what to do with claymores on stairs etc... , driver over them, yes offcourse
- and mostly, I am ranting the people who use claymores as primairy weapons, who pick the sniper kit only because it has claymores and also only use those claymores, don't even bother about the sniper rifle they can use. (third time I said this now in this thread) .

well ive driven over them in apc and tank and they explode,anyways i did say flags you can drive up to.

and i spam them as it is my right as a sniper to use my kit any way i chose ,ocasonaly i chose to put them in the back of jeeps or drop at the feet of a player if the situation get sticky.

anyhow i just made this point in another clay post.

1.22 = 2clays at a time no tk + sniper use them(good for team)

pre 1.2 5 clays at a time and get tk+sniper hardly used them.(bad for team)
example. pre 1.2 drop 5 clays and kill 5 teammates = kick

do you see the balance there?

now look at it from the snipers point of view and not a claymore victim.

if you were a sniper would you prefer to .......
A.guess the compantants of teammates who you dont no resulting in a possible tk
b. not guess and carry on playing

or
a.risk geting kicked to make you happy?
b.ignore you claymore requast and contimue with ff off?

now in my book thats night and day.
all comes down to one word balanced!!!!!!!

Re: My war against the claymore lamerts .

So, do you play alone more often than with a squad?

[Leki]

Re: My war against the claymore lamerts .

come on guys the "you should have a medic with you at all times" solution is hardly a good or balanced solution. sure it does work as im usally a medic and when i spot claymores ahead i have no other choice but to persuade a close by teammate to run over the claymore and then i revive him. Thats not always possible though, I know you snipers don't want to lose your easy kills with claymores in flags but shouldn't a smarter player that moves slower and does actually check the top of ladders and stairs for claymores at a flag be rewarded by being able to destroy them with a granades or some how get past them? you will still get tons of kills from all the guys who run blindly in but smarter players should be rewarded for being more careful. Agree?

Re: My war against the claymore lamerts .

I am getting so sick off those clymorespammers, I start to do something against those morons.

There are two thing I do ,

- one
when I spot a claymore blocking a flag, OK, no problem, can't pass, so I spawnrape, sometimes they start whining "rombaft you dam spwnraper", and I just reply, sorry guys, can't pass due to claymores, so I wait untill claymore is gone, till then I spwnrape .

-second
I spot claymore and wait next to it, when I see an enemy comming near it, I run to the claymore, claymore gets triggered by me, blows up taking one or more enemy's with it , so the claymore spammer gets some TK's , some even got kicked because they reached limit of tk's on the server.


If you ask me, beeing able to put FF off for claymores was the biggest mistake DICE made, they should off known the claymore would have been abused by the noobs and lamerts

What would you suggest they do? Remove the claymore all together? I mean, it went from 5 down to a measley 2, and you still complain? Seems to me that some people are just never happy...

[rombaft]

Re: My war against the claymore lamerts .

no, I don't want clays out of the game, I just want FF on for claymores like it is for every weapon .

Why does one weapon gets to be FF off , and all the other weapons have weapons ON .

this is just asking for abuse, certainly when the only thing you have to do is put it on the floor and it doesn't take any skill at all , there used to be a skill about claymores, and that was think before you put it down

[sp187mf9]

Re: My war against the claymore lamerts .

No offense Rombaft but you have been killed by 76 claymores in 860 hours of play what are you complaining about.

may i ? thanks

ff is of for mines aswell not just claymore's

the reason im telling you that is,you post seems to think ff is only off for clays.

do you agree with my balancing issue from a sniper point of view??

oh as i dont play eng how many ff 0ff mines can be placed at once?????????
i assume its 2 but i bet is more

I understand your point, by why is not a good solution? I remember from when BF2 was being pimped, squad play was one of the key selling points of the game. Now I am sure there may be a rare occasion when NOBODY on one team is a medic, but that has to be extremely rare. In that instance.... be a medic! But, you have to be in a squad to help. It may be you who revives the guinea pig that tripped a claymore. And as an added bonus, your team does not lose a ticket! How great is that? If every squad had a medic and the squad stuck together, You would almost never lose a map. I guess people don't realize that when you get revived, your team does not lose a ticket. That's my point. Squadplay is a must! (yeah, I know not a lot of people do it)


Rombaft, do you play as lone wolf? Or do you play in a squad more often than not?

Re: My war against the claymore lamerts .

No offense Rombaft but you have been killed by 76 claymores in 860 hours of play what are you complaining about.

you don't understand the stats, next to a weapon stands kills and deaths, the kills are how many people you killed with that weapon , the deaths mean how many times you got kills while holding this weapon.

I got killed by claymores way more then 76 times .

may i ? thanks

I have 80 h as sniper and don't use claymores this much, and certainly not run around with them, as a sniper I use my sniper rifle and pistol mainly, and a nade here and there. I use clays to protect my sniping spot , not as primairy weapon.

FYI, you can place 5 mines at the same time

Re: My war against the claymore lamerts .

how about we make


BF4....... The Un-War Wars.
Load up the game, and the SIMS starts playing instead.
lol. Which will make EA very happy and the amount of people playing the sims will tripple.

[rombaft]

Re: My war against the claymore lamerts .

@LEKI ,

indeed , this seems to be the only solution, but the problem is, there just isn't always a medic around, and I play in squads 80% off the time , calling for medic, nowbody shows up, medic around, he doesn't care, to buyse doing nothing instead of reviving you , medic is a bit to close, gets blown up togheter with you, .... teamwork isn't always perfect, far from that
