BF2S Forums C4 Timer

they probably just pout that to add effect. id think timers would be a stupid idea anyways.

that makes sense.

is it possible to be an engineer and remove the c4? if not, that would be cool too. just make sure the guy with the detenator isnt ready to blow u up

My God... EA actually said that? That they'd add timers in? WHERE THE HELL DID THEY GO WRONG WITH THIS PIECE?! Somehow paying some 30 odd bucks seems worthless if the C4 doesn't have a timer on it. I say we all e-mail EA and demand that they ... sadly... make another update patch that allows the C4 to have timers. Because it is pretty gay that when you toss C4 out, they just sit there. If anyone hasn't noticed, if you die and spawn at a place where your C4 were located close by, say... a tank was about to capture your flag and you wanted to go out in valor, you tossed C4 out and supplied JUST enough C4 to take out the thing... next thing you know you're dead from either getting run over, or because the guy just noticed you at the last minute.

Timed C4 would definitely be a good idea and why they DON'T have it in this expansion pack is a ripoff.

Think of the hundreds of assholes who'll run to the C4 you just planted. Nothing you can do stop yourself teamkilling them.

It happened it GlobalOps. No one used Timed c4 because of that.

Was gonna say the same thing. Imagine the play where you put a timed c4 on your vehicle, your gonna use it to get from point A to point B, but dont want to leave it for the enemy, only to have a guy from your side hop in it and get TK'd.

If they took the TK away from explosives, once you plant a mine, c4 or claymore you shouldnt be able to TK. I know, sounds dumb, but what i mean is once it leaves your hands, if a teammate gets killed by it, he just gets killed, end of story. Take the whole TK out of the game for those 3 explosives, than this would be a good idea. Otherwise, timed C4 would cause way too much whining for anyones liking.

But that would contradict the purpose of that red-skull icon coming up for the idiot teammate's own stupidity. Though we can't blame them for that idiocy, the fact remains that timed C4 would be good if used properly rather than zealously (wondering how frequent that would be).

Are you serious? Taking out the TKs from the 3 explosives would be heaven for those who TK for vehicles and hell for everyone else!

I say let EA/Dice add AI to the punish engine and have it determine if it was deliberate or not.

and no, I would love for the idea of a C4 timer, but I don't think the BF2 community is mature enough to handle that. We still see people running into the red skulls like they were 1UPs.

wtf do you need a timer for c4 think of how times and places were you needed to wait till a tank gos by and a minutes later it blows up! Also what happenes if you wanna get ur explosives badge and some of the kills you have to sucicide to get the damn badge.

I just hate the idea of useing a timer and reminds me bf vietnam. But on the good hand when you die it might still go off and youu getting the point for killing.
