on another note ive only got 177 deaths by claymore in nigh on 600 hours play.... they arnt hard to avoid as is but i agree it makes life really lame for aggressive players.
just so that you know, the deaths that it lists by your claymores in the number of times youve been killed while holding a claymore, not by actual claymores..... but im sure the number is still close to that, i know i havent been killed by claymores more than 200 times in the 550 hours of playing, it pisses me off every time it happens, but its all part of the game. stop the nerfing, it's ruining the game for people who have actual skills and can adapt to weapons of all types and powers.

I have never had a problem with claymores, I just aproach them carefully from an angle in prone and defuse them.

Every problem should have a solution.  Claymores should be susceptible to disarming or destruction.  If someone grenades a claymore, players who are paying attention are still alerted to the fact and respond if they're nearby.  Dropping a crate within a claymore's trigger field should cause it to explode.

I guess it's just too much for people to actually look where there walking and when they do see the box on the floor in front of them go around (yes thats AROUND not over) them to prevent death.
Nerf this, nerf that, it does my fuckin head in, buy another game ffs

uh, no. With FF on you still get the TK and the -4. Punishing is only used as an automated method to kick people from the server. That is the reason FF can now be turned off for claymores and mines. To many friendlies were mindlessly getting themselves killed by stupidly not minding the red skull and crossbones.

I would agree with the original poster that you should be able to destroy the claymores. I'd say a grenade (or C4) should be able to destroy a claymore or even several rounds from a gun. However I would say that mines should also be able to be destroyed, but only with explosives, not gunfire.

Maps like Sharqi are easily ruined by clays. You know exactly there s a claymore behind that door in the TV station but you can t do anything except killing yourself or leaving the flag alone and go somewhere else.

Making them explode through grens would solve a lot of problems.

I've never had much of a problem with omnipresent claymores, but that's because I'm normally hiding under a bush somewhere while my claymores take out some poor unfortunate.

But they are pretty hard to spot if they're well placed (or even if they're not, sometimes), and as there are places you can fence off with them I'd be in favour of a device to blow them up. Like a life-size inflatable useless commander doll you can float in front of it.

Or you can wait for them to disappear, if you like rolling joints. Or wait for a medic and kamikaze!

Claymores are the new c4 thanks to the expert explosives badge. I got mine using claymores only in warlord... That is the ONLY map they are rampantly whored that i've played. I havent seen much whoreage on Karkand.

You know, if you throw a sponge just right, you can take someone's eye out.

Of course, Elaine Bennis whored them for other purposes.

Go look up Ryopei_Ryopei_Ryopei, play with him, and then shutup.

Claymores are screwed up.

"Oh you can disarm them with the wrench"

Yes, thank you captain obvious, I'll tell you when an engineer shows up, disarms it, with no one shooting him

Go play some urban maps.

well said. keep the claymores as powerful as they are, just let us blow them up if we find them.

Rofl, oh man you guys are such kidders.

Claymores are so cheap

Why should a SNIPER get points for putting claymores in their own base because they magically don't hurt teammates? Play Karkand and SHUTUP. If a sniper puts down claymores at any choke point it will severly slow down their enemies assault. Why? Because they are indestructable. At least make it so you can blow them up or remove with any class

there's no point in a claymore that you can get close enough to see.

OK next week everyone Lets use ONLY C4 to go for our Explosives badges and not use claymores so all the whiners can complain about C4 for the next couple of months so we can reduce them also to "Firecracker" status.

They should at least make them destructable again.  Engineers can disable the from the back with a wrench.
