Claymores sucked at defending flags. Friendly spawns on said flag... -4 points; hooray.

For those that ran "into battle", there is like a 3 second arming where you can just run straight over them making them mostly pointless. As for defending sniper positions at the top of ladders ect. Yeh they were useful, though they also prevented anyone form your team joining you.

They are a great tool to anyone who has the intelligence to use them thoughtfully and precisely. For everything else they got you lots of deaths and lots of kicks for TKing.

This only partially true, claymore use skyrocketed after friendly fire on mines could be turned on or off and with the arrival of IO.

Yeah, the option to disable friendly fire for mines was one of the biggest mistakes in BF2's patch history IMO.
All weapons should always do damage to and kill everyone, regardless whether friend or foe.

I never found clays to be a huge problem tbh. Then again, I'm usually engineer, so I can detect when a clay is nearby and disarm it. Even if you are hit, theres usually a medic nearby to rev you.
The main problem is FF off servers and (to a lesser extent) IO. BF2 wasn't designed with either of those things in mind, so it's not surprising that they cause imbalances. It's entirely possible to include claymores in BF3 without making them do-a-suicide-run-and-get-easy-kills weapons.

jump into squad, drop clay + die, collect 3/4 kills was retarded.

As far as I know clays have always had the "arm delay" forbidding you from doing just that

Any minute now somebody is going to bring up how medics were so much better!

Friendly fire should not be on ever for any weapon.

I don't want to have to deal with repeated deaths because my teammates are shitheads.

if claymores are in this game im gonna rage. if grenades are super powerful ICBMs that people use as primaries are im going to rage. If there are shoulder fired nuke launchers like in bc2 im going to rage. I want a game focused on *GUNS* not everyone using cheap exploding shit, i mean you can put exploding shit in the game just dont make it so people prefer a rocket lawnchair to their rifle..

no, I just prefer having to differentiate between team mates and enemy and not just spray wildly. Friendly fire stops grenade/c4/clamore/AT spam.
