So I normally only play sniper if I'm commander......because I use the claymores to protect strategic flagpoints (like the TV stations on Warlord and Sharqi).  I know that as an individual, you can only drop two claymores at a times, and if you drop more the others will disappear.  I also know that if you drop claymores, and then get killed.........the ones  you placed while alive will eventually disappear (not immediately though, which is nice, because I've gotten a lot of kills this way).

I have recently noticed, however, if there are a lot of snipers on my team........all placing claymores in roughly the same area..........mine will disappear without being tripped or without me dying.  So, has there been a global limit on the amount of claymores that a team can place?

It's really starting to piss me off.  It really burns me when on Warlord or Sharqi I am commander, I am a sniper.......I'm holding the TV station, and I can usually do it by myself (maybe ONE other person is helpful sometimes).........and on a 32 player server.......there are a total of SEVEN SNIPERS........all crowded into the TV station........tossing down claymores and then waiting.  DO THE MATH IDIOTS.......that's roughly half the team sitting on their ass in one place.  Say goodbye to winning!  And to boot, all these tard monkeys are making my claymores disappear somehow.  I honestly wish I could meet these people and shake the shit out of them like a disobedient newborn and say "ARE YOU REALLY GOING TO FUCKING SIT ON YOUR ASS ALL GAME WAITING FOR A CLAYMORE KILL?"  It's a little different for me.........I'M COMMANDING........I'm supposed to sit on my ass.......so I may as well sit on my ass somewhere where I can do some good by protecting a flag.  For the rest of you......GO DO SOMETHING.  For the love of God, if you insist on being a sniper then AT LEAST SNIPE SOMEONE! 

Sorry this kinda broke into two rants....albeit somewhat related.  But back to the topic.......is there a global limit on claymores?  If not.......what the hell is making my claymores disappear without dying, without being tripped, and without being disarmed by engis (I plant them so they are impossible to disarm)???

KiL

PS-  If this has been discussed.....SORRY.......but I used the damn search, and found a hundred and one topics that had seemigly nothing to do with what I'm asking about.  I'm not about to sift through all of them to see if it "might" have been mentioned by someone, once.

if one of them dies before a claymore, or spawn before it will go off without hurting anyone..... are you sure it wasent that?

and sometimes i have that a claymore/c4 falls all the way down under the level....... its wierd but funny

There's no global limit, but one claymore's explosion can take out another claymore. If I'm not wrong, arty can take out claymores, plane's bombs can take out claymores etc.

For that matter, claymores stay put as long as you are that class (i THINK). I've had a claymore untouched fpr a whole game. I died but respawned as sniper so the claymore stayed intact.

I'm not sure about the answer, but I'm usually a sniper when I'm commanding as well. I love to protect assets with claymores. I feel all warm and fuzzy inside everytime one of those spec ops gets blown to shreds

When the kit dissapears your clays do to. Also I believe after 1.22 the limit was set to 2 clays.  Engineers can disactivate them, but really, how many times have you seen anyone do that.  As long as you pick up your kit before it dissapears (about 30 sec.) then your clays will stay.

I was waiting for a jet as a sniper - there were 4 other snipers there waiting for the same thing...as usual.  Anyway we all got arty killed in the hanger.  I respawned back there again as a sniper - dropped my 2 clays, picked up each kit laying there and dropped their clays.  I had 10 clays of my own laying there in front of me.   They didnt dissapear until I died.  Perhaps its because I grabbed the other kits.  Either way I thought it was worthy info.

^^ your a tard, yes they are annoying, 'any retard that who can left click' mate your talking about almost every aspect of the game.  I'm sure you fit this catagory to a tea 'skilless faggot ..'

Anyway,

sharqi is notorious for too many snipers.

It's fine if they are good, but most of the time is just a noob wasting a spot that could have been filled by someone actually trying to help the team win.

Not to say snipers don't help, but not 5-15 out of a team of 32.

You'll find thats usually the reason why teams lose on sharqi, that and the constant team stacking.

The 1.22 patch limited active clays to 2 per sniper.  If you drop 2 and get resupplied, you will have 2 more, but the first ones you dropped will disappear right when you deploy the two new ones.

being the sniper kit sucks pretty much. I have to be it for 100 hours for gold (SUCKS!)
Sniper would be the last class I would choose out of them all.
That said, since I have to be the dumbass class, I try and lay out the claymores everytime I spawn, it is at least a chance at a kill. Then I run around like Rambo with my Pistol getting gun down by automatic machine gun fire.
only 70 more hours to go......................................

I know, just thought I'd point it out, for all I know it could have happened to him a few times.  You lose track of which red skulls are yours and which ones are other snipers' sometimes.

why bother with badges/ribbons, why on earth subject yourself to 100hours if you dont enjoy it?

I generally switch depending on the situation but my dominant class choice has moved from the spec-ops to medic, nothing beats healing yourself!

I've counted 10 or 12 claymores all at the TV station on Sharqi. The guys I play with and I, while MEC, always go and capture the TV station then claymore everything... I've gotten ~75 points on numerous occasions being support.

I go sniper when i fly jet to put free time in,  otherwise they blow.  What I said earlier still stands,  if you pick up other sniper kits you can lay multiple clays,  Im guessing this goes for mines as well.  Something to remember when you want to nub it.
