H-E-L-L-O People, Did you all Forget that there are only 3 ways to get Explosives Badges? AT Mines,C4 and yes Claymores! Did you think maybe thats what they are trying to go for when they drop claymores at your feet? Sure you can try the other methods But ,AT mines you have to place them out of sight or they are of no use and I doubt very very much you can get expert bagde with just Mines(I would have to see a video to believe it).
C4 is questionable since they nerfed it its alot tougher ....and No I could never do the C4 chucking thing ...I'm talking about the trigger switch delay.. besides I'm still after my Expert badge myself. I doubt I'll get it though. Jihading is looked down upon more and more on alot of servers, so it makes it difficult to go that route. running and planting on vehicles is hard too . It seems like when I do it,I can get one planted and the tank pulls away and kills me.I guess I just stink at it. I hear you can toss it once agian though,but not as far. Claymores are the easiest in my opinion drop em' and go Snipe ....or save em' and plant them on your Six while Sniping . The Best I've done is around 25 kills with Claymores on a half-full Sharqi Map placing in alleyways, fences and flags and thats with 300 tickets "Man Thats tough"but thats why they call it Expert especially with no support to resupply you.
Take a look at this ok...
Spec-ops gets 5 C4,AT gets 5 AT Rounds ,Engineer gets 5 mines ,Assault gets 5 rounds for grenade launcher,Support has endless supply of any kinda of ammo, and Medic has endless/magical health packs that can cure almost any wound instantly...and you know what they all have in common? they have close quarter combat weapons ...the Sniper does not ...and no the semi-auto Dragonuv doesn't count ...so a bolt action rifle and 3 grenades and 2 claymores and you people are complaining 2 clamores is too many?. I feel sniper kits should be able to carry 4......Here's why because I only see snipers by them selves with no support around and what commander wants to waste a supply crate on a lonely Sniper , and if your sniping and your possition is compromised and you have to relocate you dont have anymore Claymores to plant on your flank.Have you ever been a sniper and come head to head with 3-4 guys with autos ....I bet you have, and did you stop and think for a half a second ..." I should Throw down my clamores"? ....."Naw they will just start Bitchin' about it on a Forum somewhere". No you didn't you dropped them and said I'm gunna take as many of these S.O.Bs as I can ...and if you didn't drop em' you shouldn't be playing the game.
My point being is we all die on BF2 right(15 sec)? whether it be by claymore whore ,tank whore, grenade spamming or noob tubing whore as it was once called , it a freaking GAME... A G-A-M-E thats it nothing more nothing less ..ok well maybe more for those who have 2000hrs it might be your life ...but none the less ....Try to have fun and not complain too much they already have nerfed it many times already.
