just put FF on, but change the damage rate so it only takes half off your teamate instead of killing him, but enough to get a team damage pt

I've played on a few servers with FF on, but no damage.  Claymores get triggered by friendlies, but they take no damage.  Keeps claymore spammers in line, as their claymores effectively become ineffective in high traffic areas.  But still make claymores effective for sniper back defense and back flag defense.

if you wanna take them outta bf2 fine, but take the G36E with it. if you want to reduce the trigger radius, fine, but make it so medics must have physical contact with you before thay can revive.

That's exactly what we do, FF is on for mines, but the damage they do to friendlies is 1%.  It helps to keep them in check.

Make them destroyable with explosives. The way they are now is unacceptable, but I don't want them to become useless.

EA should just make one last patch, that converts the game back to version 1.12

Fifthly. No more patches are coming out. So stop asking for additions/changes. Especially here.

Nope, you pretty much covered exactly how stupid you are. Well done.

Null. Keep them the same just allow the snipers to choose whether to be fire and forget or detonatable by remote like c4 to avoid Tk's(And to stop clay haters from running into them on purpose and punishing)

No i think Jord has a point. If you dont like clays the GTFO the server and let us play in peace.

Are you new to BF2? Most powerful weapon on I/O?????. AK101 is just as powerful as a sniper in that it is 1 hit kill, but you will get more kills with a sniper if you can use it properly, a claymore is also 1 hit kill, so your wrong about it being the most powerful. If push comes to shove I would say that a grenade is hypothetically most powerful. A TV can be the 'most powerful' thing in BF2 Vehicles, but if the person cant use it it's useless. So you see, nothing is the 'most powerful' really.

I dont get killed by clays alot because I have the intelligent to avoid them by taking precautions (i.e. flanking wide round corners etc), if you are getting clayed alot then thats because you have neither the experience or intelligence to learn from your mistakes. And ENGINEERS DO NOT STOP YOU from getting clayed. Comprende?

Use your brain, and THINK before you post.

I think the claymores radius should be way smaller cause when u walk around a corner and the claymore is like 20 feet away from u it still blows up..... wtf is that or atleast only give 1 to a sniper and some how make it so when u get a ammo pack u dont get another claymore cause every 1 knows that snipers spam that crap like crazy for free noob kills

I think the claymores are fine now, I've gotten used to them.

However, there is one thing about them that torments me. I'll be running around and I'll see a claymore, so I'll stand absolutely still. Nothing happens. Then I start to back AWAY from the claymore and it goes off... wtf mate!?

They need a longer arming time, I see many snipers run into a crowd and just throw them down and die.  It's very annoying.

Making them destructable would be good, too.

I have maybe tripped a clay once in CoD4, and that was because of carelessness. All I do for the rest is put a round in them and carry on.

Why oh why did they make clays indestructable in BF2?

There's only one flaw that can be fixed in patch 1.5 (if there is one >_>): they aren't destroyable! Any explosive should destroy those pesky things.
