Like gen idea said, let them nuke the map. Then u guys would REALLY have something to whine about.

What do you think should be done about claymores?

Make them like the Claymores in COD4.
You can get close enough to trip one, but avoid death if you're carefull.
Plus you can shoot one to blow it up - I'm told this used to be possible in BF2.

Have all mines damage everyone. AND - remove the red marker for friendly mines. A mine is a mine no matter who put it there. Like real war! And players should punish for clay and mine teamkills more often. I punish when I stumble across a claymore placed offensively in the midst of war. But I never punish for clay kills if the clay was put there defensively to watch your own back. Nor do I punish for mine teamkills if they are put there as a mine field offensively. But some idiot spawning them all over - I allways do!
Perhaps add a "Lookout - mine" quick tab.
The only way to stop clay and mine spawning is by punishment! So lets have mines damage everyone. That'll punish a lot.
I started out as sniper - and I'm not proud to admit I've made a lot of clay kills. It's easy, it's deadly but very sissy. Now I kill people with my rifle - The right way.

Grenades/c4 blow up claymores problem solved.
Why would engineer help you see claymores before you ran into them?x=Rocko=x wrote:
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.
Also, take a lesson from COD4 and have a clay/grenade warning sign? This would cut back grenade spammers as well.

Id like them to disappear at the moment you kill the sniper, that would be fair I think.
Rest can stay the way it is

I will add my name to those who think they should be destructible. If you hit one with a shotgun, or a grenade, they should explode, similar to what happens to the gas tanks.
I'm also a believer that there should be a damage radius. Step on it and you're dead, if you're near it you take frag damage of some portion of your health. There's nothing more ridiculous than being 20 feet from a clay and dying instantly.
Of course, this is from someone who plays sniper exclusively on I/O servers these days, and drops his two clays in the exact same spot every single time he spawns. I think my ratio with BravoOscarBravo (the name under which I actually play these days) is 5 to 1 or so. I'll look... yep... 1,474 265. - 5.5 to 1. Nearly a claywhore.

Stop running into them.
It's like a kid setting a box/string trap, and you walking into it. You fail, not the guy setting it.

Im going to take this is an opputrunity to do some advertising!

But if something were to be done to them i would say, make it possible to crouch/prone past them otherwise i think claymores are fine. Or they could be destructable if you use the m95 on them.

Snipers should have six claymores, but make them destructible. Let the Darwin theory sort them out.
Just make it so engineers can get past unharmed. This way, they can sneak to the other side of it (if it's around a corner) and disarm it (or leave it, doesn't matter to me).
I strongly agreeSgt.Kyle wrote:
They should allow commandors to spot them out, that would help maybe?
i think either the radius of it blowing up should go down to a TINY bit longer than COD4 or make it where u can shoot em again.....hate that they took that out
Make it so the sniper who deployed the claymore can repack it, so if he accidentally deploys one he won't get a team kill about half a minute later.
If you make claymores destructible e.g shooting them destroys them, that would help so much, you could just take them out with your pistol.

Just leave them, they arent hard to spot anyway.
They should be destructable, and/or FF off not be an option. Im sick and tired of nooby snipers running around dropping clays instead of taking people out with their rifle.
clays should and will stay the same

you see when you play in a squad and you have medic backup there is no need for clay crying is there.
play as a team and dont run around like a chicken without a head... do that and clays are hardly a problem.
I like them as they are, they encourage people to work as a squad, you have to stay in or near medic groups or snipers play merry hell with you. Plus, the amount of SPAM on city maps would make them pretty much pointless if they were destructable.
Best idea would be to make them trip (you have to STAND) on them to detonate, or you can have a clacker which sets them off which is 1) much more realistic and 2) much more tactical. I hate that my mines go off when im watching 4-5 unsuspecting squaddies move onto a CP and some noob charges in for the extra cap point....
I did suggest you could have them do both, left click to dumb drop them, right click to place and click (left) again on the clacker to detonate
That would be FUN as people would have no way of knowing which it was until they either step on it or it blows up in their face.

Check my stats, I do more squad playing than a lot of people. I just think snipers should do some fucking sniping instead of whoring clays all over the placedelta4bravo*nl* wrote:

They are abit unfair, But their part of the game and there aint any more patches coming out so we have to live with the game we already have.
Why not make them MORE powerful?
Claymores = Snipers best friend as you take out people and after you died you pull at least 2 more people to death
claymores are annoying but easy to get around usually, unless they're on a ladder, or people are spamming them.
