Exactly. So often i drop a claywhore and walk over it myself to see if MFF is on on a server.

@server admins: Write a warning into your server-info-box on the loading screen if MFF is ON.

again - there's no point in a claymore that you can get close enough to see and subsequently avoid.

Thats why you place them in blind spots (behind boxes, inside doorways, corner of a stairwell, in scrub-land etc) instead of going 'LOLZ, I will just place it in open view on this corridor to try and deter people from coming down it.' Come off it, you might have a car alarm, and have etched all your shit in the car with your post code, but if someone wants it, they're getting in and taking it. Same with flags. Heres why.

a: any squad worth it's salt will have a Medic.
b: Running past boxes on 2nd floor Palace and being blown away as a squad would be more efficient and demoralizing than one guy going 'fallback, I'll take this one down, revive me if you can'.

Some people say no changes are needed, but they might well be the same people who throw clays down when in close quarters combat, so even when they die, not if, WHEN, they stand a chance of taking their killer out and not feeling so crap about being wtfpwned.

Looked up a lot of info about claymore mines, and in every single shot of troops placing them, whatever armed force it is, the fucker placing it is as vulnerable as can be. I don't see a problem with it, because anyone with an ounce of smarts is gonna place those baby's before they get stormed anyway.

Yay, another nerfing thread, cant we just have a bucket of moist sponges to throw at the enemy that way no-one gets hurt and everybodys happy!
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

Get sponges, here!
Need sponges?
Sponges here!

Sponge out!
Throwing sponge!
Sponge!

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.

she whored them because she was a whore

Signed! EA should force them to do so since the trial and error method is really annoying (and "expensive").

nerf this and nerf that, some day people on the battlefield attack eachother with lipsticks.

But the most people are thinking "Hey, i can not leave the spawn area, because i could get killed by something"... well, getting kild don't cost you points, so where is the problem there?

because ppl complain about things they cannot handle and EA listens to these (what a pity). thats why we got changes every few months (PKM normal, then too strong, now weaken etc.). I say: Stop these "nerf it plz omfgz!!!ors!!one" kids....

Unfortunately you are completely right with your description of this "standard" situation. But recently I was allowed to experience something completely different: I left the Spednaz-base in the T-90 and recognized five (!) mines at the other side of the bridge. So I stopped and after a short scan I left the tank to disarm the mines. A fellow sniper spawned at the flag nearby, looked around and sprinted to "my" tank. Thinking "Oh sh..", I was more than astonished when he just maned the turret MG and jumped out as soon I finished my job, running back to climb up the ladder at the building. So he just paused his plans to cover me - what a team-player! Since I was so perplexed I forgot to look after his name and was just able to send him a poor "Thank you!".

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

Yes, like we all have time on karkand to go AROUND a claymore, and REMOVE it, before we get killed.... right... i'll believe that when mi shit turns purple.

I say that a person should be only able to drop 1 claymore per life. If he gets ammo and ends up with another one he should be able to drop it and have the other disappear.

yah..AT should have 1 rocket only too. Those tubes are single use only. How does a soldier move with FIVE tubes?

Have you tried carrying FIVE AT mines. Do you know how freaking heavy those are?

squating to plant mines... wat a stupid notion. might as well make everyone zoom before shooting. (except shotgun). you ever tried shooting without the crosshair in your eye? do you know how inaccurate it is supposed to be?

All those were not implemented. coz it is a ... G A M E.

All this talk about nerfing...why don't you n00bs all meet up in a random open field somewhere with REAL nerf guns?  Wouldn't that be fun?  Yes, I am a sniper.  Yes, I use claymores (my claymore ratio is around 15 or 16).  Running into heavily trafficked areas = claymore kill from the Vulcan.  Plain and simple concept. 

EA has so much money they should mail nerf guns to all the whiners.  But on a serious note, claymores should not be changed in any way.  Be happy that we can only carry and place 2 at a time!  Don't play BF2 if all you're gonna do is complain.

Don't "nerf" them. Just make them disapear after you blow the sniper away, it's lame to kill a guy on your way from one flag to the next and then get blown up by a claymore 1-2 minutes after you killed him.

same should be done for AT mines, you dont get to detonate the c4 you planted after you die with SF so why should sniper and engineer be different?
