Claymores are the most powerful weapon in infantry only servers. Unless you're going to go engineer you WILL get clay'd at least 3 times a game. I want something done about this! If you've got any other ideas post them.
Poll
What do you think should be done about claymores?
| Make the trigger radius smaller. | 20% | 20% - 65 | ||||
| Give only 1 to snipers. | 10% | 10% - 32 | ||||
| Take them out of the game. | 9% | 9% - 30 | ||||
| Stay how they are now. | 59% | 59% - 188 | ||||
| Total: 315 | ||||||
They should allow commandors to spot them out, that would help maybe?
I think they were put in the game for a reason, just because they are powerful on infantry dosent mean you have to play on those servers if you dont want, its all a matter of choice and sticking with the game. If you dont like it go play CoD or CS.
However i think there should be some meathod of dodging claymores or having to deploy them instead of just chucking them on the ground.
any other thoughts?

They should be wired so the sniper has to detonate them rather than let them explode automatically. That would mean the sniper would need to be near them for them to work and lay a wire limiting their retreat distance.

They should make them destructible like before.
Besides, I don't mind them, as long as they aren't spammed everywhere.

how about not changing anything? This game has been nerfed enough
once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.
Why not do it in the same way it is in 2142?
You can get by them as long as you don't walk or run...

Firstly, It's a game...Get over it.
Secondly. Play on one of the many normal mode servers or servers that don't allow claymores.
Thirdly. Claymores, if anything are underpowered on BF2.
Fourthly. Take a different route. It's not hard to go around the side. I don't get blown up 3 times a round.
Fifthly. No more patches are coming out. So stop asking for additions/changes. Especially here.
Finally. Stop being a bitch.
Don't think I missed anything.

Just get a medic to revive you and claymores are irrelevant. If claymores are a problem for you, it means you're not playing with a squad.
The other night on Karkand I was in the building between Hotel and Square with a friend. We had just come down from the roof when a sniper came in and dropped a claymore. I killed him but of course the claymore stays there forever after he's dead. We're not moving, just waiting, waiting, waiting... Until another sniper M95's me through the window and my body falls to the floor, triggering the claymore and killing my friend.

Thanks for that. I'll make sure to not have an opinion in the future.I'm Jamesey wrote:

if sniper dies, instant claymore vanish.
None of this 40 sec crap.
EDIT: Oh, and I went on this server where it disallows clays for flag defence. Genius

Oh and my 6th point would of been try different maps. Nobody spams claymores on Mashtuur because it's so big.
Just have it so that they are destructible by shooting them/throwing nades at them, and don't have it so that if you go 'There's a claymore there, I'm going to go around it', and I go way out of my way to one side, it blows and kills me. I wouldn't mind if it just takes me down to half health even. They could lower the damage dealt when you are far away from the claymore, and have the damage still kill those that run right into it.
Edit: also, if you look at them and try to spot them, they should come up as 'claymore spotted'. I think that may change the game play around them a little. Cue engineers where they are, prevent your unknowing teammates from running into them...

Very good point mate. Btw its pretty easy to avoid clays, people generally use claymores in flag area's so join a squad and get someone to walk in front of you and keep some distance.san4 wrote:

you know you have been playing Oblivion too much, when you read this title and think big sword.
another change will only f..k everything up even moormax wrote:

Trigger radius is fine, 2 clays are fine
Where are the option for smaller blast radius and make them destructible?

there is one option missing in the poll: Give 2 more claymores to snipers
but voted Stay how they are now. cause i think 2 claymores is perfect for snipers so they can defend themselves in 2 directions...IF they use them to defend not to hop and spam around^^

No change needed... 2 Clays "At a time" per sniper is good.
I still remember the days when there was no limit of clays on the ground.
Back in the day 1 sniper could have dozens and dozens clays on the ground at the same time.
But yeah the game didn't have IO back then either, maybe things we're a little better back then.........

Nothing... Game is perfectly fine how it is.
The lowest ranking member of the squad should be the designated claymore clearer.Echo wrote:

I doubt EA will do anything about this.
People just have to stop whining about it and work better in squads.
If anything EA/Dice/PB or whatever needs to focus on stopping and detecting hacks and hackers instead of babies whining about weapons in the game...
EDIT: I guess it would be a little nice if snipers only got one each, but that won't happen.
