BF2S Forums Claymore Armor

In having a "5 second claymore armor" just render them uttlery useless? 

Thus no one would use clays anymore.

A five second claymore armor would just detract more from the game as far as a sense of realism. Clays aren't that much of a nuisance just be more careful.

I say we nerf everything and make our guns shoot bubbles and armor made out of paper to block the bubbles.

Ha! Thats funny, i agree though. This nerfing needs to fucking stop. The game is not perfect and never will be. So for the love of Christ just have some fun and shut up. BTW sporadic fire i love your sig.

Aww Cmon, get a real gun..... don't hide and piss clays at the site of real men with real guns

I'm not against claymores, and I don't want them nerfed, but I think a change of game play needs to happen. When you're about to get to a flag, you look straight ahead and see a claymore, and know there isn't shit you can do about it but take the clay and hope to god your team mates will revive you or at least cap the flag. I have been in more than one game where claymores completely ruined a game of say sharqi, where the tv station is the last point and is being throughly defended from every avenue of attack by 3 snipers and 1 support.

Claymores would still be effective if placed well because you couldn't use the ability every time you walk through a doorway, but if you see an obvious claymore it could be avoided. Use them as they are intended, no problem. Spam them, they become useless.

LOL @ detracting from realism. I could go throughout the game at this point and point out ever inconsistency with real life, but I'll stick to the fact that it's a GAME and on claymores. A claymore's explosion doesn't know the difference between friend and foe, they aren't self detonating, and if they are a trip wire has to be set up. Now I agree with the current game play mechanics, but don't say it's a bad idea quoting realism, that's bullshit.

There is no problem with discussing game play changes now because EA will never make another patch.

The problem is there is no way to deal with them short of suicide, only being able to take them out with a wrench is ridiculous. Honestly I think they should be taken out by nades again, but that makes them even easier to deal with.

Claymores were UN-Nerfed.  They used to be fine when you could blow them up with nades.

why was this changed?

True. They need to make it like 2142 where you can prone/croutch past them.

Why is there so much hate for claymores and there users?  just curious

Magical armour isn't the best way to fix it.

Let them be shot or grenaded, crawled or crouched past, or let engineers clear them out/be immune.

And whoever heard of a claymore that can tell friend from foe? Forget the trip wire/motion sensor argument, are we carrying IFF transponders now?

Because playing Karkand, Sharqi, or Mashtuur usually involves at least ten people on the other team running around as sniper, never pulling out their gun, but rather charging you with claymores to lay one in front of you and then dash off. That's not how bf2 is supposed to be played.

If you guys are getting owned by charging snipers holding claymores, you guys blow goat.  That was the most pathetic complaint ever.
