For example: Warlord
Palace 2nd and 3rd floor on Warlord have become, just about, uncapable bases. If you corner a team with just those flags left with just 3 doorways that lead in or out you have half a dozen snipers and half a dozen support making themselves 100's of undeserved points. The same goes for the T.V. station which is worse, there are only 2 ways in or out. This is obviously effecting the stats of all the players involved and is tantamount to stats padding. You can no longer play to win the game as it involves dying dozens of times on mines that cannot be removed and are not being used in the manor for which they were intended.
EASY. Either have a medic follow you up the stiars, reviving you, or be a medic, and revive. Someone has been lone wolfing me thinks.
ITS NOT EASY, my post makes NO MENTION of the stairs although they claymore those. It says the DOORS have become an impassable CHOKE POINT. Even if you made it up the stairs with the medic tactic you then get to the doors, they have multiple mines layed per door. So the first mine kills you, the second kills the medic if he survives the crossfire and the exploded mines are replaced before anyone else gets NEAR the doors, even with multiple medics and multiple attackers this approach fails a lot more than it will suceed. All the while the people involved, using the claymores for are getting a number of UNDESERVED kills and resupply points which can be looked upon as nothing less than stats padding. They are also renderering The map unplayable. This is not like the case of the over powered PKM when people were getting shot a bit more, This is a case of my purchase being made less usable by this rediculous weapon and its usage to stats pad support and sniper scores..........

The first flag on the mec team again is a complete joke. Every corridor on the way to this is claymored, all ladders and stair cases on the flag too. Even if you do manage to get into the flag, in comes a sniper running with claymore in hand and throws it at you. I mean WTF???
Blow them up with rockets, and have a medic follow you, when the sniper chucks the clay, blow it up. However, you should be ok if you shoot him.
Blow them up with rockets? all 20 of them? Get a medic to help and when he tries to medic you he gets killed by the claymores as well??, The claymore is ment to be used as a covering device for snipers on top of buildings, watertowers etc, NOT to erect an impassable barrier to game play when used as a primary weapon............
Nightflight
Every single point in the map has claymores, If a flag is taken, the snipers spawn @ the next flag along the map and lay down another mass of the things. I have seen 10 and more claymores on a single point at times.
LOL, yeah, so true that. I dont play night maps anymore
You dont play much specials forces fullstop The Iron Gator 00:01:14 : Night Flight 00:40:20 : Warlord 04:57:41 : Leviathan 00:37:24 : Mass Destruction 00:00:00 : Surge 01:09:47 But this Issue is not only special forces related, This is across all 3 of E.A's Offerings (BF2 , SF and EF)
This excuse, you can only lay 2 at a time is nonsense.
1. With the ammount of people being killed by the things, your mines are destroying other players faster than you can lay them down.
2. Being able to then lay more mines and have the old ones disappear when u get support aid means you can always keep in front of the action and continue your lameness.
I for one have purchased all of the BF2 series (BF2, SF and EF) and am more than a little irratated that one of my purchases is now virtually unplayable with any level of fairness on a number of maps due to these devices.
HELP E.A.!!!!!!
Join squads.
ITS GOT NOTHING TO DO WITH JOINING SQUADS I've been in squads 2.6 times longer than you have played the entire game squaded, lonewolf and commander combined. With the maps designs being what they are the over use of claymores as a PRIMARY WEAPON is making them unplayable as I have very clearly explained.

OMFG, THOSE DAMN GUNS -
Yes because claymores are actually listed as guns on the stats page. I guessed I must of missed that...............................
