i was just playing on ghost town, was up top of tower with a claymore down when guy in my squad came climbing up and ask me to get the claymore out of the way...
i thought he wanted me to blow it up so i got out a grenade but he wasnt going back down ladder. anyway i went over to clymore and thought maybe you can pick them back up and i just didnt know about that. so i pressed and held down "G" and while doing that he climbed up and over the claymore to my level!!!

is this new or am i just the worlds slowest sniper to realise this?

LoL was thinking about it with History class.
what if you could pick up a claymore with G.
certainly going to test it should be cool

I've found glitches in setting mines near the tops of ladders. If the mine is set in the wrong position(usually too close), it can be bypassed be the climber. I've climbed past a mine set by a teammate and by enemies. It's like the trigger-area was too close to the ladder and when I climbed up I somehow "missed" the kill zone. I've killed two VERY suprised snipers this way. I've found that setting my mines at least 3 feet back from the top of the ladder ensures the kill zone cone (lol) covers the ladder exit area.

How did you get close enough to it to even possibly pick it up without *BOOM*?

since you were a sniper and no engineer it was probably that you just had the claymore to close to the ladder so asmentioned before it did not trigger the claymore.

How can the engineer defuse a claymore? Wouldn't he blow up when he gets too close to the claymore!?!?!?

I've often proceeded slowly up a starcase to check if a claymore is at the top. When there is one, i'm out of the kill zone, but can still defuse it, even though I'm in front of it. Now THAT was a surprised Sniper.

What made you decide to press G?

because when he said to move it i pulled out a grenade to blow it but he didnt move down the ladder to avoid the blast so i thought maybe you can pick them up.

You can't currently pick them up but you should be able. Considering that their is only two main ways claymore are detonated one by tripwire. (think of the scene near the end of S.W.A.T.) then their is remote detonation by clacker. (it's a little handheld thing that you squeeze and it blows the claymore.) their is a third which is an offshoot of the tripwire. it uses a motion sensor and works the same as clacker only instead of human person pressing the button the sener trigger it. This last is very rare though.

The last is what most games with claymore use funnily enough.

Anyway in any of the three setups an experiences soldier would be able to disarm his/her own claymore since it just requires putting a pin or disarming the sensor neaither which are very complicated. BUt they didn't/haven't coded that in as of yet.

sometimes claymores take sometime to activate, like 10 secs or even 15, or the claymore was there more time than that?

And remember, if the ladder isnt very high, you can always throw a grenade onto the top end of the ladder and the claymore will blow up and you'll have a safe climb
Done that numerous times.

Engineers can disarm Claymores if they can get close enough to use their wrench on it. However the problem on ladders is that you can't use any tool or weapon. So disarming a claymore that is poise to blowup a ladder traveler isn't possible. I wish it was. I would be killing many more snipers.

Claymores are directional so as long as your behind it you wont trip it.

The real ones have FRONT TOWARD ENEMY written in big bold letters on the front just incase you forget.
