in close quarter combat, snipers are allways the underdog.

Aren't snipers meant to be fighting over long distances? Or has the assault/support class lost their role as CQC force?

and do they fly to their destination?

im a sniper, and i love the claymores. but, like every1 else, they should be able to be taken out by a grenade. if you need to get to a destination and the clay is blocking it, sum1 basically needs to take 1 for the team, totally retarded.

i agree, the fact that you cant get rid of a claymore is pretty annoying.

but there is allways another route = no need to take one for the team.

So if you place one claymore to both entrances of Hotel flag in Karkand what's route then? Sure you can cap that flag from that phone booth, but you won't be alive that long if enemy have that flag. And there's many other places too where's only 2 entrances which so you can block that place with 2 well placed claymores and that's shit. There should be some way to remove claymores or explode them with nades as before because now it's stupid that you must die for team if you want to go somewhere. And basicly there's more than one sniper spamming claymores and that's shit.

I don't mind claymores but when they are used as primary weapons, that's when it gets ridiculous.  I go to shoot a sniper and he throws a claymore at me and runs (not knowing that it takes a few seconds to fuse.)  I love sniping as much as the next person but claymores should be used somewhat strategically, not to rake in kills because you can't snipe properly with your rifle (not directed towards the topic creator or anything but to the umpteen-man-sniper team I played against yesterday.)  For those that gripe about claymores in general though, join a squad, grab a medic and get over it.

Engineers really should be the Anti-Claymore...

Granted I've disabled my fair share of claymores after a sniper had placed one... Quite often I've been able to foil these tactics in the TV station of Sharqi.

'Course, I've also been sniped quite a few times by claymores as well.

I dunno, I definatly share in the frustration of them being a primary weapon for snipers however. There really should be a way to disable claymores guarding a ladder though... How hard would it be to let Engineers use their wrench whilst on a ladder?

if he is throwing a claymore at you yous must be in close combat.
what else can a sniper do?

apart from take a wee bit of health from you with a pistol.


nothing more satisfying than killing a guy with a pkm with a pistol though.....i'v done it a couple of times.


he was shooting at someone else though lol


satisfaction guaranteed

Anti-medic tactic: when the 1st guy dies clay the body and wait for the medic. If ur lucky he might even revive him b4 it goes off

EDIT: I can almost smell the neg karma thats going to follow this!

I've done it many-a-time. Run at them, but strafe side to side. If they're any good you'll be mowed, but about 55% of the time in my experience you'll get lucky and take them out. Chances are they'll go prone so just circle them shooting them in the back.

same as engineers can remove mines.



crawl up real slow or somthing.......and disable

Although I agree with this I also disagree. A sniper should be able to pick up their Claymores to take with them, but I also don't see what they'd use to do so. Just picking it up would be dumb, but then again, these super Claymores can tell the differance between friend and foe so maybe so. So... yea, they should be able to take them with them, but only their's, not their teammates.

"Jerk! You stole my Claymore!"
You have been punished for a teamkill.

bitching about snipers sucking in close quarters is like bitching that you cant snipe 300 meters with an assault rifle

you have a pistol ..if you suck dick so much you have to gaymore and run you should play tiddly winks instead
