:-P

Yeah the only problem is most of the time people are only grenading their own teams claymores, this is the only thing red skulls are good for.

I've been trying for my Expert explosives for some time now. A great number of teamkills later I've learned that most of my claymores are set off by my own team. Doesn't matter if you type

WATCH FOR TEAM CLAYMORES AT THE HOTEL              WATCH FOR TEAM CLAYMORES AT THE HOTEL              WATCH TEAM CLAYMORES AT THE HOTEL

So it extends across the screen every 2 minutes.

All it does is start people throwing grenades b/c they don't want the claymores there or its the best place for traps and they want to place C4. The other alternative is someone just has to get somewhere so fast they think it's C4 and don't really care about running over and dying.

Personally I think if you blow up team claymores you should get team damage.

I've been very close to 37 kills in one round, the enemy seems to learn there are claymores out there very quickly. Your team unfortunately does not. I really have my hats off to people who have this badge legit, it's very tough to get.

Also people say hide it around corners and in the grass.

Around corners = TK everytime, why to people run from the enemy base back to their own anyways???

In grass ?? What grass if you have Resolution set to low you can see everything.

Also to get 37+ kills you really need to set about 60 claymores, near impossible without a decent resupply or command.

Sorry guys I just don't understand why people don't understand claymores. I generally set them so my team can easily see them yet they don't care or want to destroy them. If an area is well claymored it's a secure flag trust me, and don't destroy the claymores of your own team, take an extra second a walk around them.
