Has anyone had a "glitch" where you run towards a claymore, then you see it and stop. You can look at it for about 5 minutes, and the second you walk away from it it explodes, killing you. Surely if you were in range when you stopped it would just have exploded anyway.. It's almost as if it's seeing how close you get before exploding..

I've had this happen to me on Karky many times, and wondered if it was just me...

Claymores have a timer on them, they activate a certain amount of seconds after they've been placed. Case solved. Next.

_{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.}

well they take about 3-5 sec after they are placed. Then after that its all up to the troops to activate em.

I'm not talking about after they get dropped, I'm talking ages after they're dropped.

You must, theoretically, be within a 30-degree cone from the front of the mine, less than 10 meters from it, and moving more than 0.1km/h. It has a 3-second arming delay. So, if you run in front of it less than 3 seconds after the hostile sniper places it, it will arm with you in front of it, and kill you when you try to escape.

Playing with my old clan, "OMG it just happened again, hey when did you drop that clay, ######?" "Umm, like 5 mins ago"

I know what you mean, if you run round a corner dead into the path of a clay and stop, sometimes it won't go off, but you know for a fact if you move it'll blow.

Happens a lot on karkand, I just stand until I see a medic and let it kill me.

BF2 is a buggy, glitchy piece of crap. Old news buddy. (Yet we all still love it.. oh the lulz)
