BF2S Forums Claymores Are Primerys Now!

I like the idea that teammates don't set them off (amazing technology they got there) but other explosives not being able to remove them is just silly.

Another perfect example of how this patch was really not playtested properly... Seriously even a fucking child would work this one out.

claymore distance = 10-40 feet... honestly walk over them, they don't kill you until you areb like 20 feet away..., WTF

easy way to get explsoves badge...

...but hey, i already got it:)

Also the AT mines can be run over by friendlies and not blow up... One of the guys I usually play with didn't believe me... so I deployed all 5 of my mines in an area , hopped into a jeep and did donuts over them...

Blame this on EA . When you don't make deadlines - you don't get paid . It's is what it is - a quick fix meeting demands of the pussies who complain so much .

i find it kinda funny that people who dont use it very much, or aren't very good with it, bitch and moan about stuff being overpowered. i was a chopper whore, as you might call me. several hundred hours in a chopper and i was ranked in the top 1500 for points with a chopper. now, 1.2 comes out and ruins the chopper on about half the maps. some maps it can still rule, but others it is a waste of time to get in there.... getting back on topic, snipers. i think that they saved the sniper kit, personally. before, there was like 1 sniper in each round. the aim sucked, the pistol sucked, although it was silenced, and nobody used claymores because of blind teammates whose page up buttons were broken. this is why the kit is saved:

when you put your crosshairs over something now, you will generally hit it. that is what a sniper rifle is suppossed to do. also, with a giant sniper rifle bullet, it will either kill them in one hit, or put them so far down in health they will think twice before walking down the stairs faster than a crawl for fear of getting hurt and dying. the claymores now can't kill teammates, except for the people dumb enough to stand in front of the red skulls while an enemy is walking up. i tk'ed 2 teammates at the same time for this last night, they both punished me despite the fact that it was a friendly claymore they were standing in front of when an enemy came around the corner. but, the sniper only gets 2 unless there happens to be a resupply around. other than that, the sniper has no real weapons. that is why the sniper rifle is balanced by everything else in the game. sure, he can hit you from a hundred meters out across an open field, BUT THAT IS THE POINT OF A FLIPPIN SNIPER!!!!!!!!!! in any real battlefield you cant just run around in the open. you have to dodge, weave, use cover to stay alive. you get in close with a sniper, and you will win 95% of the time. the claymores are used to defend the snipers position, but thats why god gave you grenades. throw them on top of the building instead of climbing up there. i agree that they should have kept the claymores destroyable with a nade, but thats out of my hands. the sniper rifle is balanced so that unless you aren't being a good teammate and making sure nobody sneaks up to your base, the sniper shouldn't be able to lay claymores around it

I disagree that the claymore is becoming an assault weapon. the sniper is a defensive/cover kit. like in any real battlefield, you gotta watch where you are going, keep a mind open to positions where claymores could be. dont worry, not everyone is going to go sniper and whore the whole round because a sniper cant do anything against a tank, and they can only fire so fast and are useless up close. plus, a good commander will spot them out for you or take them out with arty. i say dont bitch and moan so much about the sniper kit now, you just gotta use your head a little more now on the battlefield, thats all.... this is exactly what i have to do with my helo now, i have to use my head to stay alive.... I love it personally.
