BF2S Forums Why can't we destroy claymores with grenades?

the only thing i can think of is have a group of medics and if you get killed by one just revive him... can you give me some examples maybe?

Either this or with an Engineer. Unfortunately you cannot always approach a Claymore and use the wrench on it.

And yes, Claymores should be destroyable by any explosives.

And for Snipers being useless without their lame Claymores? Use your gun!

dont_be_ss got karmarized for not using Gaymores and using his gun.

Far too many times where I have been walking along spotted a clymore out the corner of my eye which CAN NOT be passable. So we sort of stand there for a little while. My squad that has compiled here over time. none are engy's.  So "Gary, looks like your going in"

over at BF2 EAUK here are the results so far:

Yes, I want my grenade to destroy claymores and mines      39%            [ 22 ]
Yes, I want my grenade to destroy just claymores     46%                [ 26 ]
Yes, I want my grenade to destroy just mines     0%                            [ 0 ]
No, I don't want grenade to destroy claymores and mines  14%             [ 8 ]

I am  sniper  that is my main kit, i fucking hate getting claymored. But i also hate getting killed/nade spammed/nub tubed but wat the hell you gotta deal with it.  Yes i do like it when clays where destrutible but it also fucked over the sniper.  Example, say your sniping on mashutar or what ever your on top of yoour biulding and someone spots you from behind you keep on sniping like you wher ebe for someone throws a nade up top (1.12)that fuckers goes booom
you sit there and wait and wait and he climbs up the ladder and you shot him once with your rifle you go to wait 5 or what ever seconds to kill him or you bring out ur pistol he most likely has a ful auto weapon so hes got like 2 seconds to shoot you and your dead.

(1.3) same example execpt he cant destroy your claymore he comes up the latter and boom a kill its the same purspose as the AT mine to kill by suprise.  IDK if that made any sense to you then good cuz it didnt to me....I get to go to taco bell todays!!!!!

Yes, it would be realistic. But as a player who likes killing with claymores I hope it won't change.
Making clays explode from nades would practically make them useless and in that case snipers would be far too unpowered. Remember that any engineer can disarm claymores with that tricky tool, just stand beside it.

Did you play this game last year?  You could destroy the clays with nades.....why did they change it?

DSRTurtle got ripped apart

Claymores should definitely be destructible by means of grenade.

IMO:

Clays - destroyed only if nade is detonated near them (1feet or less), by C4, or by Egineer.

Mines - should take more time to deploy, but be 80% invisible to the enemy.

C4 - Removed by Engineer.

LIMITED number of nades per spaw-life, LONGER resuply time. - this is for all the nade spammers.

AT rocket - be able to destroy enemy assetts (UAV, Scan, Arty) with lets say 5 DIRECT hits. Show me a fuckin AT rocket that cant blow up a sattelite dish. Soldiers use RPGs to blow up tanks(w/armor), but cant blow up an mobile sattelite box made of aluminum.

ALL OF THE ABOVE SHOULD BE TRIGGERED BY FRIENDLIES TOO, UNLESS DETONATED REMOTELY.

btw, i voted nay.

But i voted yes

Wow, noticing your claymore is grenaded = someone at the bottom of the ladder
That means moving your arse to the ladder, looking down the ladder and giving him a nice headshot whilst he's climbing.
Oh yeah, only an idiot who spams claymores all over the place wouldn't notice if their claymore was destroyed, using it for self defence - and it being blown up will still give you time to kill them or even better, just leave the area and find a better spot. The guy will climb the ladder to find no sniper. Then you take him out when he's ontop of the building.

Sometimes i think just how much intellegence these "sniper" only guys use.

omg does it really matter motherdear?

they used to be able to blow up, at least they kept in the whole "repairing them makes them disappear" thing. thats quite useful...

i said that the triggering mechanism would be ruined if you grenaded a claymore so it would go away but it would not blow up and kill everything infront of it as it blow up as itdid before the "bad" patch.

Remove claymores from the sniper kit and instead give them binoculars.

I would like to see claymores be destructable. If a sniper lays one down and realizes that its in plain light, he should be able to remove it so he can still lay down his two mines.

No, I didn't. Appearently using clays was a completely different thing then and Idon't know anything about it but I believe they were quite worthless back then.
